Mistr napětí Jeffery Deaver skládá mozaiku nervydrásajícího povídkového kvarteta, v němž nikdo není v bezpečí a spravedlnost má mnoho podob.

In Real Wrexham: Becoming the City local writer Sara Erddig explores the melting pot of communities, cultures and histories which make Wrexham what it is today. This place has seen a lot of change since Grahame Davies wrote the first Real Wrexham in 2007, not least the Hollywood takeover of its football club.

Taking in everything from its industrial past to its thriving arts scene, from Wrexham the town to Wrexham the city (as the county became in 2022), she’s out on the ground celebrating Wrexham in its city ‘era’, and as you’ve never seen it before.
Dance of Oneness
Most of us live in our heads and miss out on experiencing our bodies as a portal to the present moment and true happiness. In this guide, Banafsheh Sayyad offers a transformative healing path to reconnect with yourself as a being of love, ground your spirituality in your body, and embrace ease, joy, and freedom. This work isn’t about professional dance techniques. Instead, Sayyad shares how dance can help you honour the body as the physical expression of the soul: miraculous, wise, and full of wonder. Through her healing modality, Dance of Oneness - a fusion of Taoist, Sufi, and Divine Feminine wisdom with flamenco, tai chi, Persian dance, and Sufi whirling - Sayyad guides you to release blockages, activate your light body, and rediscover your vitality and purpose. For the first time in a book, readers are initiated into whirling as a portal to higher dimensions and profound transformation. “Dance of Oneness invites you to live your life as a dance that brings you into unity with all, through embodied love,” offers Sayyad. “True embodiment is about experiencing yourself as a channel of light to help heal the earth.” With wisdom teachings, embodiment practices, insights from Rumi’s inspirational poetry, and Sayyad’s own story out of Iran and into the freedom that dance spirituality gave her, Dance of Oneness invites you to open to the flow of love and embrace a soul-filled life.

Evil in Me
This devilish tale includes nearly two dozen of Brom’s immersive paintings. Aspiring musician Ruby Tucker has had enough of her small rural town and dysfunctional family. But a falling out with her best friend and bandmate has killed her dreams of escaping and making it big in the 80s Atlanta punk scene. When Ruby helps her eccentric neighbour organise his religious relics, an ancient ring clamps down on her finger - possessing her with the spirit of a bloodthirsty demon. There’s no exorcising it unless hundreds of people chant a spell to set Ruby free. And what’s worse, the ring is a beacon for evil, drawing a monstrous mob straight to Ruby, hungry for her flesh. If Ruby can get her band back together, she has a shot at salvation. It's time for her to face the music and put her whole soul into a song - one powerful enough to raise some Hell.

The Blue Dress
Sometimes Yasmin doesn’t feel at home in her body. And it’s not just because puberty has mounted a full-on alien invasion, or that emigrating from Iran a year and a half ago has meant one change after another. It’s also because her mother constantly pushes her to lose weight, like sewing Yasmin a beautiful blue dress for Persian New Year that is too tight on purpose. At school, it doesn’t help that Yasmin’s best friend, Carmen, is petite and close to her own mother, or that popular-girl Zoe always has a mean comment to spare. Yasmin is sure her crush, Jack, won’t ever like her the way she is, either. With the pressure to fit in closing in on all sides, Yasmin starts taking desperate measures. But if being thin is supposed to make her happier, then why does losing weight feel like losing parts of herself, to? rom debut author Rebecca Morrison comes a heart-rending, humorous, and ultimately hopeful book inspired by her own life, relatable to anyone who has ever needed to break away from someone else’s vision of how they should look in order to embrace their true self.

Ohavné mordy boleslavské
V kališnické Mladé Boleslavi otřese poklidným ránem useknutý prst nalezený před domem bohatého kupce Pavla. Krátce nato je v městském rybníku objeveno tělo zavražděného truhláře Štěpána. Rychtář z jeho vraždy téměř bez důkazů obviní Pavla, a to jen proto, že zavražděný se kdysi ucházel o kupcovu ženu Matyldu. Matylda se poté obrací s žádostí o pomoc na krajského hejtmana Jiřího z Poděbrad, který pověří vyšetřováním rytíře Lukáše z Velyně, bývalého husitského bojovníka. Jeho společníkem se stává rytíř Norbert z Malkova, přítel majitele boleslavského panství. Původní obvinění se záhy začíná hroutit, zatímco zohyzděných mrtvol naopak přibývá. Nic nedává smysl a vyšetřovatelé se pro odhalení tajemného vraha musejí ponořit hluboko do minulosti.

Máš nárok na život
Co kdybyste věděli, že vám zbývá jen jeden rok života?
Ne jako dramatická představa, ale jako jednoduchý filtr pro každé rozhodnutí: Stojí tahle věc opravdu za můj čas?
Německá autorka Alexandra Reinwarth si tuto otázku položila a rozhodla se podle ní jeden rok žít. Výsledek byl překvapivý. Najednou začaly být některé věci naprosto zbytečné – nekonečné pracovní povinnosti, konflikty, očekávání druhých. A jiné věci se naopak ukázaly jako mnohem důležitější, než si kdy myslela.
V této osobní a velmi čtivé knize ukazuje, jak může jednoduchý myšlenkový experiment radikálně změnit náš pohled na práci, vztahy, přátelství i každodenní rozhodování.
Máš nárok na život není návod na radikální změnu života. Je to spíš pozvání položit si otázku, kterou si klademe příliš zřídka: Co je v mém životě opravdu důležité – a proč to odkládám na později?
