Shadow Men
"Polchin knows the era, and brings to his account a wealth of colorful supporting detail . . . With its layers of taboos and public spectacle, the case feels, a century later, as relevant as ever." —Marisa Meltzer, The New York Times Book ReviewFrom Edgar Award finalist James Polchin comes a thrilling examination of the murder that captivated Jazz Age America, with echoes of the decadence and violence of The Great GatsbyOn the morning of May 16, 1922, a young man’s body was found on a desolate road in Westchester County. The victim was penniless ex-sailor Clarence Peters. Walter Ward, the handsome scion of the family that owned the largest chain of bread factories in the country, confessed to the crime as an act of self-defense against a violent gang of “shadow men,” blackmailers who extorted their victims’ moral weaknesses. From the start, one question defined the investigation: What scandalous secret could lead Ward to murder?For sixteen months, the media fueled a firestorm of speculation. Unscrupulous criminal attorneys, fame-seeking chorus girls, con artists, and misogynistic millionaires harnessed the power of the press to shape public perception. New York governor and future presidential candidate Al Smith and editor of the Daily News Joseph Medill Patterson leveraged the investigation to further professional ambitions. Famous figures like Harry Houdini, Arthur Conan Doyle, and F. Scott Fitzgerald weighed in. As the bereaved working-class Peters family sought to bring the callous Ward to justice, America watched enraptured.Capturing the extraordinary twists and turns of the case, Shadow Men conjures the excess and contradictions of the Jazz Age and reveals the true-crime origins of the media-led voyeurism that reverberates through contemporary life. It’s a story of privilege and power that lays bare the social inequity that continues to influence our system of justice.

The Lansky Legacy
Written by Meyer Lansky’s grandson, this definitive portrait of the legendary “Mob’s Accountant” chronicles the singular life of the business entrepreneur who built a gambling empire, perfected money laundering, established a more efficient Mafia, and changed the course of organized crime forever—featuring never-before-seen personal letters, photographs, and firsthand stories.Meyer Lansky was more than a co-founder of the Mafia. He was a truly transformative figure, a key player who balanced criminal enterprise and legitimate business, ushering in a “Golden Age” of the Mafia that lasted half of the 20th century. His impact lives on today—in the lavish casinos of Las Vegas, the offshore banking strategies of major global industries, and the countless Hollywood films like The Godfather Part II and Bugsy, with Lansky portrayed by actors Lee Strasberg, Ben Kingsley, Harvey Keitel, and others. He remains a legend in the annals of American crime. But even now, after decades of fictionalized accounts, historical conjectures, and larger-than-life mythmaking, the question remains:Who was the real Meyer Lansky?In this eye-opening account—featuring personal letters, rare and exclusive photographs, and stunning new details never before revealed—the grandson of Meyer Lansky dares to answer the most intriguing questions that have fascinated the public to this day: Why and how did a serious Jewish boy from Poland get involved with mobsters like Lucky Luciano and Bugsy Siegel? What was his role in the growth and consolidation of the Mafia, and why couldn’t the Feds pin any crime on him besides illegal gambling? How many millions had Lansky amassed by the time of his death in 1983—and what happened to the money? But most shocking of all: Who really killed Bugsy Siegel, and can the truth finally be told?Packed with surprising insights from the grandson and his family, The Lansky Legacy is a must-read for crime buffs, Mafia enthusiasts, and anyone invested in the American Dream.

Stories from the Celtic Twilight
In Cornwall the tradition of storytelling goes back a long way… Years ago “drolling”, telling stories around the fire on the long nights, was a natural part of life there, and to this day out-of-the-way country pubs still hold “storytelling nights”. This book is a collection of such stories, all but one set in Cornwall.Some of them, of course, involve the sea and all that flows from it. Others have a background in the mining days of two hundred years ago, but Cornwall is far more than its history. ‘The Short Order Chef’ is a story about the very modern dilemma of working in a county where most employers shut down for half the year, and one man’s very innovative solution to this situation. ‘The Kronek’ is a story about the conflict between the incomer community and the established locals.‘Moonlight on the Water’ is a tale of ancient belief meeting modern life, and ‘The Man Engine’ is about the miner’s legend about the little people. And of course, there is the tradition of piracy and smuggling. ‘Captain Avery’s Emerald’ is a sideways look at time and history that refuses to lie down and die peacefully.All the stories stand alone, and they all have a very dark heart.If you like your stories with a dark twist, this one is for you.

Te meg én
Adam és Jules csaknem huszonöt éve házasok, kicsit belesüppedtek a megszokásba, és a jövő – őszintén szólva – nem sok izgalmat tartogat számukra.
Egy nap azonban Adam megtalálja azokat a régi magnókazettákat, amelyekre a kedvenc számaikat vették fel, amikor Julesszal egymásba szerettek. Hirtelen sugallatra leporolja régi, de valamilyen csoda folytán még működő kazettás magnóját, belehelyezi az egyik kazettát, megnyomja a lejátszás gombot – és ekkor valami egészen elképesztő dolog történik.
Szó szerint visszacsöppen a múltba.
Így derül ki, hogy minden egyes kazetta visszaröpíti őket abba az évbe, amikor a válogatás készült, ezáltal újra átélhetik az első szerelem semmihez sem fogható csodáját és közös múltjuk meghatározó eseményeit.
Hamarosan rájönnek azonban, hogy az időutazás nemcsak izgalmakat, hanem veszélyeket is rejteget: egy idő után már abban sem lehetnek biztosak, hogy visszatalálnak-e valaha a tökéletlen, mégis csodálatos valós életükhöz, vagy esetleg örökre elveszítik egymást…

Philip Fracassi első novelláskötete kilenc hátborzongató írás gyűjteménye, amelyek a kozmikus horror és a modern weird határmezsgyéjén húzódnak meg, ötvözve az 1980-as évek klasszikus, kíméletlen rémtörténeteinek brutalitását a kortárs irodalom emelkedett prózájával.

Nové stavební právo
Publikace představuje první ucelené monografické zpracování materie stavebního práva podle právní úpravy stavebního zákona z roku 2021 a souvisejících předpisů, v jejich pozdějším znění.
Autorský kolektiv složený z akademiků, advokátů i dalších zástupců právní praxe v devíti podrobně členěných kapitolách systematicky vykládá nejen ustanovení samotného stavebního zákona, ale poukazuje i na širší souvislosti rekodifikovaného stavebního práva, například ve vazbě na ochranu životního prostředí, institut vyvlastnění, digitalizaci řízení nebo procesní prostředky ochrany práv dotčených osob. Navzdory tomu se kniha z větší části drží systematiky stavebního zákona, když postupně přibližuje základní pojmy nového stavebního práva, organizaci a výkon stavební správy, materii územního plánování, hmotněprávní požadavky na výstavbu, jakož i obsáhlou procesněprávní úpravu stavebního řádu, které je věnován největší prostor.
Výklad je založen na kritické reflexi dosavadní literatury a judikatury, přičemž upozorňuje na antinomie jednotlivých ustanovení i sporné otázky aplikační praxe. Na vybraných místech autoři současně zohledňují také projednávané legislativní změny v oblasti stavebního práva.
Ačkoliv jde o prakticky orientovanou publikaci, své místo najde nejen v knihovnách advokátů, úředníků stavebních úřadů nebo investorů ve stavebnictví, ale vzhledem k obsáhlému poznámkovému aparátu také u akademiků a studentů právnických i stavebních fakult.
Tűzbe mennék érted
Cassie Hanwell az a tűzoltó, akit a legrosszabb helyzetekben mindenki maga mellett szeretne tudni. Amikor mások már menekülnek, ő a lángok közé veti magát - higgadtan, hűvösen, félelem nélkül.
Csakhogy nem mindig a tűz jelenti a legnagyobb veszélyt az életben.
Saját kitüntetési ceremóniáján Cassie szembe találja magát egy férfival a múltjából, aki egyetlen mozdulatával mindent visszahoz, amitől évek óta próbál menekülni: a dühöt, a félelmet. Ami ekkor történik, egy pillanat műve csupán, és mindent feléget maga körül. Cassie-nek ezután újra kell kezdenie az életét egy idegen városban, egy olyan közegben, ahol nem látnak szívesen egy női tűzoltót, legyen bármilyen rátermett is. Az egyetlen kedves kolléga, egy vonzó újonc pedig csak tovább nehezíti a dolgát, mert Cassie rég megtanulta, hogy a romantikus kötődés csupán sérülékennyé tesz.
Katherine Center regénye gyógyító erejű, szívmelengető történet a múlttal való szembenézés fontosságáról és a megbocsátás hatalmáról.
Spirit of the Times
In fourteenth-century Central Asia, Karia is a young woman living under the yoke of Mongol occupation. But she’s different. She’s a fighter with supernatural powers. She could use them to keep the Black Plague at bay and solve the mystery of the purple skies at dawn – if only she could overcome her self-doubt. Travelling in caravans on the Silk Road, she faces dangers seen and unseen – from sandstorms and slave traders to the desert djinn and folk who believe she’s a witch. She fears losing Abi, her little cousin, who’s fascinated by roses and the dance of the Whirling Dervishes of Bukhara.When Karia falls in love with an English sailor fleeing the Knights Hospitaller, they sail to England with Abi to unravel the meaning of the purple skies, a dance, a posy tree, and a ring of roses.The Spirit of the Times is part history, part fiction and part speculation: on the origin of disease; the power of innocence; the unfortunate aspects of custom and dogma; and humanity’s ability to respond to the governing influence or spirit of the times.
Vzbuď mě ve 4:20
Neslyšíme to rádi, a tak děláme, že o tom nevíme. Přehlížíme stíny pod záclonou podzimního večera a uhýbáme pohledem před tím, co narušuje naši představu o světě. Přesto víme, že pod povrchem reality se odehrávají příběhy, které jsme se rozhodli nepoznat. Minulost nás formuje, tajemství nás obklopují a někdy zjistíme, že neznáme ani ty nejbližší.
Příroda i lidská mysl skrývají víc, než jsme ochotni připustit. A nakonec nás vždy dožene zvědavost. Touha po něčem víc než po šedé každodennosti. Protože jsme si vždy mysleli, že jsme hrdiny příběhu. Jen jsme netušili, jak temný ten příběh bude…
