Into The Dark
When a mutilated body surfaces and a woman dies mysteriously, Jakob Weber uncovers a chilling trail through Norway’s wild north. SECOND in a darkly addictive Nordic Noir series. ‘Expertly written, compelling and impossible to put down. This is perfect Scandi Noir. I'm hooked’ Michael Wood‘This superb Scandi thriller is the perfect antidote to the plague of tweeness that infects so much crime fiction today’ Mark Sanderson, The Times‘A must-read series’ Nordic Watchlist____In Norway’s far north, something unspeakable is surfacing…When a mutilated body rises from the icy waters off the jetty in Kjerringoy, it shocks the quiet coastal village – and stirs something darker beneath. Not long after, a young woman is found dead in a drab Bodo apartment. Suicide, perhaps. Or something far more sinister. Detective Jakob Weber and former national investigator Noora Yun Sande are drawn into both cases. Then a hiker reports a terrifying encounter in the nearby wilderness: a solitary cabin … and a man without a face. As the investigation deepens, the clues grow more disturbing – and the wild, wintry landscape closes in. Jakob is certain of one thing: if they don’t find the killer soon, he’ll strike again. SECOND in the dark, addictive Nordic Noir series set in Norway’s unforgiving Arctic north. ______Praise for the Arctic Mysteries series ‘Atmospheric’ Crime Monthly‘Jakob Weber is a great protagonist, and the sense of place is phenomenal’ Thomas Enger‘This is first-class Nordic Noir from the real North, where danger lurks around every corner’ Gunnar Staalesen‘Dark and totally gripping … adds a new dimension to the police procedural’ European Literature Network‘Nearly as many twists and turns as Norway’s Trollstigen pass … will satisfy even the pickiest crime reader’ Crime Fiction Lover

The Making and Breaking of the American Constitution
A provocative new history of America’s constitution and an urgent call to action for a nation confronted by challenges its founders could never have imaginedThe American Revolution occurred at a time when Britain’s constitutional order failed to adapt to the extraordinary growth of its colonies. The framers designed an American constitution to succeed where Britain’s had faltered, planning for continuous population and territorial expansion that would eventually cross the continent. Yet by the end of the nineteenth century, it was already ill-suited for an increasingly urban, industrialized society, and the transformations of the twentieth century have pushed it to a breaking point. This book charts the history and aims of the American constitution from its origins in an agrarian past to the grave crisis we face today. Mark Peterson traces the American constitutional tradition to the control of land in medieval England, showing how the founders incorporated the aspirations of Magna Carta with the administrative principles of the Domesday Book, a meticulous survey and valuation of landed property commissioned by William the Conqueror. This framework encouraged the growth of democratic self-government in a young nation. It also institutionalized the colonization of territory and the expulsion of Indigenous peoples, establishing a legal blueprint for transforming tribal lands into revenue-yielding real estate for settlers. Peterson’s riveting narrative paints an arresting picture of a dynamic republic whose frame of government has changed enormously to meet the challenges of the modern age but whose written constitution has changed very little. Marking the 250th anniversary of American independence, The Making and Breaking of the American Constitution reveals how this widening disconnect threatens the very existence of our democracy. It calls for a constitution that sustains the ideals developed over the past thousand years while meeting the challenges of the future.
How to Live
A vivid new translation in which the Stoic philosopher argues that virtue is the only path to contentmentWhy are so many people unhappy when happiness can be attained by anyone who simply lives virtuously? That question prompted Seneca, the great Stoic philosopher of the early Roman empire, to write On the Happy Life, and he continued to seek answers in his Moral Epistles. In How to Live, Seneca biographer and translator James Romm presents vivid new versions of passages from both works, distilling Seneca’s passionate and inspiring argument for a path to perfect contentment, no matter what befalls us. As a Stoic, Seneca believed that only ethical virtue leads to happiness; all other goals, including wealth and success, are neutral in their effects—or, if they torment us with what we haven’t achieved, sources of unhappiness. For role models, Seneca looks to Socrates, who embodied virtue and reason, and to a hypothetical sage who is always in tune with the divine mind that governs the cosmos. Extolling these paragons with nearly messianic fervor, Seneca urges us to imitate their example. Featuring an inviting introduction and the original Latin on facing pages, How to Live captures the persuasive power of Seneca’s argument that the universe wants us to be virtuous—and happy.

Storm Breaker
ENDURE THE STORM. EARN YOUR PLACE. FULFIL YOUR DESTINY.
For nineteen-year-old Poet Graves, New Manhattan has always promised safety from the deadly electrical storms that ravage the world - but only if she plays her part.
Raised within the ruling Houses and betrothed to a powerful heir, she arrives at the prestigious Amery Academy knowing her future has already been decided: pass the trials, join the Society, and secure her place among the elite. Fail, and she will be cast out beyond the city's protection.
But Amery is nothing like she imagined. Its trials are brutal, its loyalties conditional, and its rules designed to expose weakness. As Poet struggles to survive, she must hide the truth that could get her executed: the storms don't fear her - they answer back.
Defying her father's expectations, Poet dreams of becoming a Storm Breaker, someone trained to face the very forces others fear. But ambition can be deadly in a world where power is tightly held, and rebellion comes at a cost.
When a dangerous outsider from beyond the city walls enters the academy, Poet is drawn to him despite everything she's been taught to believe. He threatens the life she's been promised.
And choosing him could cost her not just her future, but her freedom.
Árnyak tava
Az apja a város népszerű nyomozója volt… Az anyja pedig a leghírhedtebb bűnözője… Most viszont Mirror Lake titkai lassan a felszínre bukkannak, és mindent megváltoztatnak.
Amikor Hazel Sharp váratlanul megörökli gyerekkori otthonát, kelletlenül ugyan, de visszatér a városba, azok közé az emberek közé, akiket majdnem egy évtizede maga mögött hagyott.
De nem csak Hazel tér vissza a múltból. A tó vízszintje a példátlan aszály miatt egyre csökken, és lassan visszaadja, amit hosszú éveken át elrejtett: elhallgatott történeteket, eltemetett nyomokat – és talán azt az egyetlen igazságot is, amely fényt deríthet Hazel anyjának nyomtalan eltűnésére.
Higgy nekem – Minden történetnek két oldala van
Minden történetnek két oldala van. A tiéd és az enyém. A miénk és az övék. A férfié és a nőé. És valaki mindig hazudik.
Anna Andrews végre elérte, amire vágyott: a BBC híradósaként sikeres, független és messze jár a múltjától. Élete mégis kártyavárként omlik össze, amikor tudósítania kell egy brutális gyilkosságról Blackdownban. Itt nőtt fel, és tizenhat évesen, egy máig kísértő rémálom elől menekült el. A sokk akkor válik teljessé, amikor megtudja, hogy az áldozat az egyik gyerekkori barátnője.
Jack Harper főfelügyelő Londont hátrahagyva próbált új életet kezdeni Blackdownban, de most a saját nyomozása középpontjában találja magát. Nem elég, hogy az ügyben a volt feleségével, Annával kell viaskodnia, Jack egy sötét titkot is őriz: az áldozat a szeretője volt, ráadásul ő látta utoljára élve a nőt.
Kisvártatva pedig újabb gyilkosság történik. Ahogy a holttestek száma növekedni kezd a ködös angol faluban, Anna és Jack macska-egér játékba kezd egymással és a gyilkossal is. Mindketten gyanúsítottak, mindketten nyomoznak, és mindketten bármire képesek, hogy a saját igazságukat védjék, kerüljön az bármibe.
Ebben a történetben csak egyvalami biztos: valaki hazudik. Vajon ki rántja le hamarabb a leplet a másikról?
Alice Feeney pszichothriller mesterműve több mint húsz nyelven jelent meg világszerte, vezette a sikerlistákat, és 2026-ban a Netflix népszerű sorozatot készített belőle Minden történetnek két oldala van címmel, Tessa Thompson és Jon Bernthal főszereplésével.

Rules for the Summer
They set rules for the summer - and broke every single one . . .
Renley Gossage has nothing but a struggling candy shop and a dream. She is determined to make it as Cape Meril's confectionary queen with no help, no shortcuts - and definitely no rich men wielding engagement rings and making things messy.
Theo Williams never thought he'd be flying across an ocean to propose to a stranger, but here he is, knocking on Renley's door with a shiny diamond. She's the one person who might be able to stop his life from falling apart, so he's here with a marriage proposal - and more importantly for Renley, a business proposal . . .
The Deal: Theo needs a wife so his stiff-upper-lipped father won't cut him off. Renley needs a financial backer, even if she's too stubborn to admit it.
The Rules: One fake engagement. One summer. Zero romance.
But between collapsing drywall, gossiping neighbours, and the chaotic schemes of Renley's aunt, their forced proximity turns into something dangerously close to real.
Except Renley can't let go of the idea that standing on her own two feet means not accepting help. And Theo's past is about to catch up with him. By the time the candy shop doors reopen, they'll have to decide if this is just a summer fling - or a happily ever after worth breaking the rules for . . .
Nem néma a többi
A kilencvenes években járunk, a rendszerváltás utáni Magyarországon. Ahogy a társadalom új alapokra helyezi a működését, úgy próbálja a kamasz Dalma is összerakni önmagát, a gyerek létből átjutni a felnőttéválás útvesztőin. És ez nem megy könnyen. A családjáról lehámló biztonság, a veszekedések, és az ikertestvérével vívott örök verseny elhiteti vele, hogy neki legfeljebb mellékszerep jut az életben.
Aztán egy szavalat félresikerült pillanatában, a recsegő mikrofon mögött egyszer csak megtörténik valami: megérzi a színpad súlyát és felszabadító erejét. Innen vezet az út egy fiatalokból álló színházba, ahol először találkozik egy közösséggel, amely egyszerre befogadó és könyörtelen. A társulat középpontja Dávid – a kiszámíthatatlan, nyers tehetségű, önmagát is felőrlő Mercutio, aki előtt senki sem tud rejtve maradni. Dalmát épp ez a figyelem emeli ki először a csendből, a fiú kemény mondatai, váratlan gyengédségei és vakmerő dühkitörései olyan tükröt tartanak elé, amelyben kénytelen meglátni saját lehetőségeit is. Ahogy közeledik a bemutató, Dávid egyre veszélyesebb sodrásba kerül, és a tehetsége mögött feltáruló önpusztító erő lassan tragikus pályát rajzol. Dalmának el kell döntenie, hagyja-e magát magával rántani, vagy kilép onnan, ahol elsodorhatnák. Felnőni számára most azt jelenti: felismerni, hogy a saját hangját csak akkor találhatja meg, ha mer elmozdulni attól, ami lehúzza.
The Sommer of My Life
Marcelene Dyer reflects on her life as wife to Wayne Dyer, mother of seven, and her daughter's struggles with addiction. In this deeply personal memoir, Marcelene Dyer explores the joys and sorrows of her daughter Sommer’s life as an addict: a journey filled with resilience, spiritual growth, and the unbreakable bonds that transcend time and space. Marcelene lived through the deaths of her parents, her brother Rich, her husband Wayne, but never thought she would outlive one of her children. After years of battling opioid addiction, Sommer lost her life in May 2022 at 38 years old. Through prayer, meditation, and silent reflection, Marcelene was able to release any judgment about her daughter’s life, find solace, and harness unconditional love. Guided by her faith and with a little help from ayahuasca, she came to understand that life is measured not by one’s actions but by the depth of love we share. Marcelene offers an intimate look at her embodiment of love and how it has shaped her path—challenging conventional expectations and recognizing love as life’s greatest purpose. The Sommer of My Life is a testament to faith, healing, and the enduring power of connection.

True Crime Detective Magazines
At the height of the Jazz Age, when Prohibition was turning ordinary citizens into criminals and ordinary criminals into celebrities, America’s true crime detective magazines were born. True Detective came first in 1924, and by 1934, when the Great Depression had produced colorful outlaws like Machine Gun Kelly, Bonnie and Clyde, Baby Face Nelson, and John Dillinger, the magazines were so popular cops and robbers alike vied to see themselves on the pages. Even FBI boss J. Edgar Hoover wrote regularly for what came to be called the “Dickbooks,” referring to a popular slang term for a detective. As the decades rolled on, the magazines went through a curious metamorphosis, however. When liquor was once more legal, the Depression over and all the flashy criminals dead or imprisoned, the “detectives” turned to sin to make sales. Sexy bad girls in tight sweaters, slit skirts, and stiletto heels adorned every cover. True Crime Detective Magazines follows the evolution and devolution of this distinctly American genre from 1924 to 1969. Hundreds of covers and interior images from dozens of magazine titles tell the story, not just of the “detectives,” but also of America’s attitudes towards sex, sin, crime, and punishment over five decades. With texts by magazine collector Eric Godtland, George Hagenauer, and True Detective editor Marc Gerald, True Crime Detective Magazines is an informative and entertaining look at one of the strangest publishing niches of all time.
