A zárda gyermekei - Lottie Parker 15.
Lottie Parker felügyelő és Boyd őrmester szabadságon van. Connemarában vendégeskednek a férfi nővérénél, aki az esküvőjére készül. A nagy sürgés-forgásból elmenekülve Lottie a környéken sétálgat, amikor egy bungalónál villogó rendőrautókat lát. Természetesen odamegy, hogy megtudja, mi történt. Mint kiderült, egy összeégett női holttestet találtak a fürdőkádban.
Mooney őrmester, bár nem szívesen, emberhiány miatt elfogadja Lottie segítségét. Az áldozatnak nincs hozzátartozója, kislányként a Magdolna nővérek zárdában nevelkedett. Lottie a gondnoktól megtudja, hogy egy fiatal rádiós újságírónő, Imelda járt ott, a zárdáról készülő műsorához gyűjtött anyagot, majd eltűnt.
A nyomozás során szörnyű dolgok derülnek ki. Az apácák rabszolgákként dolgoztatták a lányokat a mosodában, kegyetlenül bántak velük, a legkisebb kihágást is megtorolták, a kínzásba belehalt gyerekek holttestét pedig eltüntették.
Majd újabb gyilkosság történik…
A háromgyerekes Lottie az érzéseit kikapcsolva, vérbeli profiként mindent megtesz, hogy Mooney őrmesterrel mielőbb felgöngyölítsék az ügyet.
Wild Darling
Enemies. Team-mates.
Something dangerously close to more … Parker Darling is ready to take center ice now that his older brothers have left to play hockey in college. He shows up to the first practice ready to be team captain of the Ransom Devils, only to find a new coach at the rink—one who already hates Parker for a dumb mistake he made years ago. A mistake he made with the help of Coach Foster's daughter, Mackenzie.
Kenzie Foster loves hockey, too, and she's a ruthless goalie. If only her dad hadn't forbidden her from playing—not that she'd want to be on any team with that arrogant jerk Parker Darling. She can't believe she's stuck on the bench at a new school, watching the Devils struggle to win without the force of all three Darling brothers.
Parker hates losing, and when the Devils' star goalie gets injured, he knows he has to step up and lead the team back to greatness. Kenzie, meanwhile, sees a wide-open net and an unused uniform just waiting to prove her dad wrong. They'll need to work together to reach their goals—without getting too close to making another big mistake.
Centrists of the World Unite!
We live in an age of extremes: populist leaders are setting the agenda, autocracies are on the march, and the liberal establishment is a bewildered blob, devoid of new ideas or fresh solutions. Having once powered progress in the form of democracy, mass welfare and defeating totalitarianism, liberals have the power to save the world again – but only if they rediscover the lost genius of their creed.
Guiding us skilfully and entertainingly through the intellectual, cultural and political histories of liberalism, this book lays out a centrist agenda for today’s problems. It reminds us of the dynamism and fixed principles that have shaped the successes of liberalism and warns us against splitting into sub-groups that fail to grapple with the common good. Wooldridge proposes that, as well as reviving social mobility, liberals today need to be much more critical of big business – particularly if it makes money by manipulating choices and spreading misinformation – and rethink the laissez-faireapproach to immigration, social disorder, and substance abuse.
A powerful call to action, Centrists of the World Unite! shows us how liberals of all parties and none can come together in defending the values of liberal civilization from enemies without and within.

Hooked
Eriko really wouldn't mind being savaged, if it was her best friend doing the savaging … Eriko's life appears perfect – devoted parents, spotless apartment and a job in the seafood division of one of Japan's largest trading companies. Her latest project, to reintroduce the controversial Nile perch fish into the Japanese market, is characteristically ambitious.
But beneath her flawless surface she is wracked by loneliness. Eriko becomes fascinated with a popular blog written by a housewife, Shoko. Shoko’s posts about eating convenience store food and her untidy home are the opposite of the typical Japanese housewife’s manicured lifestyle.
When Eriko tracks Shoko down at her favourite restaurant and befriends her, Shoko is at first charmed by her new companion. But as Eriko’s obsession with Shoko deepens, her increasingly possessive behaviour starts to raise suspicion. As Eriko’s carefully laid plans begin to unravel, how far will she go to hold on to the best friend that she’s ever had?
Beautifully translated by Polly Barton, Hooked is a thrilling and unsettling story of the line between friendship and dangerous obsession.
A delicious exploration of food, loneliness and womanhood in contemporary Japan, Hooked brings together all the ingredients for which Asako Yuzuki is so adored.

Hannaróza
Hanna élete darabokra hullik, amikor ráébred: nincs egyedül a testében. Ott él benne valaki más is, akit Rózának hívnak. Kettejük között szakadék tátong, míg Róza maga a perzselő tűz, addig Hanna a szenvedély és félelem határán egyensúlyoz.
Amikor megismernek egy férfit, aki mindkettőjük szívét elrabolja, kénytelenek szövetséget kötni egymással. De a vágy hamar veszéllyé, a bizalom árulássá válik, egy haláleset pedig feltépve a múlt sebeit mindent megváltoztat. Ahogy a nyomozásuk feltárja a sötét titkokat, a határ a valóság és az őrület között egyre inkább elmosódik. De vajon túléli a szerelmük a borzalmas igazságot?
Erotikus krimi, ahol a szenvedély és a veszély kéz a kézben jár.
