The Chestnut Man
THE DEBUT NOVEL FROM THE CREATOR AND WRITER OF THE KILLING
The police make a terrible discovery in a suburb of Copenhagen.
A young woman has been killed and dumped at a playground. One of her hands has been cut off, and above her hangs a small doll made of chestnuts.
Young detective Naia Thulin is assigned the case. Her partner is Mark Hess, a burned-out investigator who's just been kicked out of Europol's headquarters in The Hague.
They soon discover a mysterious piece of evidence on the chestnut man - evidence connecting it to a girl who went missing a year earlier and is presumed dead, the daughter of politician Rosa Hartung. A man confessed to her murder, and the case is long since solved.
Soon afterwards, another woman is found murdered, along with another chestnut man. Thulin and Hess suspect that there's a connection between the Hartung case, the murdered women and a killer who is spreading fear throughout the country.
But what is it?
Thulin and Hess are racing against the clock, because it's clear that the murderer is on a mission that is far from over . . .

The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attacks Against the United States
America lost 1.4 million citizens in the North Korean attacks of March 2020. This is the final, authorized report of the government commission charged with investigating the calamity.
"The skies over the Korean Peninsula on March 21, 2020, were clear and blue." So begins this sobering report on the findings of the Commission on the Nuclear Attacks against the United States, established by law by Congress and President Donald J. Trump to investigate the horrific events of the next three days. An independent, bipartisan panel led by nuclear expert Jeffrey Lewis, the commission was charged with finding and reporting the relevant facts, investigating how the nuclear war began, and determining whether our government was adequately prepared for combating a nuclear adversary and safeguarding U.S. citizens. Did President Trump and his advisers understand North Korean views about nuclear weapons? Did they appreciate the dangers of provoking the country's ruler with social media posts and military exercises? Did the tragic milestones of that fateful month--North Korea's accidental shoot-down of Air Busan flight 411, the retaliatory strike by South Korea, and the tweet that triggered vastly more carnage--inevitably lead to war? Or did America's leaders have the opportunity to avert the greatest calamity in the history of our nation?
Answering these questions will not bring back the lives lost in March 2020. It will not rebuild New York, Washington, or the other cities reduced to rubble. But at the very least, it might prevent a tragedy of this magnitude from occurring again. It is this hope, more than any other, that inspired The 2020 Commission Report

Windfall
This romantic story of hope, chance, and change from the author of The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight is one Jenny Han says is filled with all of her "favorite things," Morgan Matson calls “something wonderful” and Stephanie Perkins says “is rich with the intensity of real love.” Alice doesn’t believe in luck—at least, not the good kind. But she does believe in love, and for some time now, she’s been pining for her best friend, Teddy. On his eighteenth birthday—just when it seems they might be on the brink of something—she buys him a lottery ticket on a lark. To their astonishment, he wins $140 million, and in an instant, everything changes. At first, it seems like a dream come true, especially since the two of them are no strangers to misfortune. As a kid, Alice won the worst kind of lottery possible when her parents died just over a year apart from each other. And Teddy’s father abandoned his family not long after that, leaving them to grapple with his gambling debts. Through it all, Teddy and Alice have leaned on each other. But now, as they negotiate the ripple effects of Teddy’s newfound wealth, a gulf opens between them. And soon, the money starts to feel like more of a curse than a windfall. As they try to find their way back to each other, Alice learns more about herself than she ever could have imagined . . . and about the unexpected ways in which luck and love sometimes intersect. Praise for Windfall: Featured in Seventeen Magazine's "What's Hot Now" “Windfall is about all of my favorite things—a girl’s first big love, her first big loss, and—her first big luck.” —Jenny Han, New York Times bestselling author of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before “Windfall is perfectly named; reading it, I felt like I had suddenly found something wonderful. It’s a story about love, and luck, and the way our lives can change in an instant. I laughed and cried and bought a lottery ticket the very next day.” —Morgan Matson, New York Times bestselling author of The Unexpected Everything “Windfall is rich with the intensity of real love— in all its heartache and hope.” —Stephanie Perkins, New York Times bestselling author of Isla and the Happily Ever After "If you’re looking for your next great read, then you’re in “luck!” Smith combines humor and emotion to capture these characters’ life-changing story, while teaching us all a bit about luck, love, kindness and the true meaning of home." —Justine Magazine "Windfall is an absolutely brilliant story...you will def want to add this gem to your TBR pile." —Susane Colasanti, bestselling author of When It Happens

The Way of the Strangers
A radical rethinking of what ISIS is and what it really wants From Graeme Wood, author of the explosive Atlantic cover story "What ISIS Really Wants," comes the definitive book on the history, psychology, character, and aims of the Islamic State. Based on Wood's unprecedented access to supporters, recruiters, and high-ranking members of the most infamous jihadist group in the world, The Way of the Strangers is a riveting, fast-paced deep dive into the apocalyptic dogma that informs the group's worldview, from the ideas that motivate it, to the "fatwa factory" that produces its laws, to its very specific plans for the future. By accepting that ISIS truly believes the end is nigh, we can understand its strategy-and predict what it will do next.

Legenda o píšťalkárovi
V mestečku na juhu Slovenska sa strácajú deti. Rozruch vyvolala strata dvojčiat, ktoré boli nájdené mŕtve a všetko nasvedčovalo tomu, že boli rituálne zavraždené. Táto udalosť rozpútala vlnu strachu, povier a legiend, ktoré sa medzi obyvateľmi začali šíriť ako mor. V rovnakom čase sa v meste zjavil tajomný muž, známy ako „Píšťalkár“, pri ktorom sa deti radi zoskupovali, lebo dokázal vystrúhať krásne píšťalky, ktoré túžilo vlastniť každé z nich. Ako si deti pamätajú na tohto muža sa dozvedáme z rozprávania vtedy malej Stely, ktorá oplýva zvláštnymi schopnosťami a tvrdí, že dokáže komunikovať s listami stromov. Prostredníctvom jej spomienok sa prenesieme do mestečka, ktoré si žije vlastným životom a má vlastné pravidlá. Skryté pravdy o obyvateľoch a o videní obludných vecí s ľahkosťou dokáže interpretovať len čistá detská duša. Príbeh sa však zmení, keď pod ťarchou výchovy rodičov je Stela nútená opustiť svet detskej fantázie a dospeje. Mladá žena je po rokoch opäť konfrontovaná so svojou minulosťou, na ktorú sa snažila zabudnúť a temná legenda opäť ožíva. Čo je dobro a čo zlo? Môžu existovať oddelene? Kto je tajomný muž, ktorý sa znenazdajky zjavil a prinútil ľudí pochybovať o všetkom, čo dovtedy považovali za správne? Kto dokáže zápasiť s nezodpovedanými otázkami a so smútkom bez toho, aby sa to podpísalo na jej ďalšom živote? Niet lásky bez utrpenia, tak ako niet viny bez odpustenia.

Židia vo Vranovskom okrese
Zemplínska župa bola už od 17. storočia novým bydliskom pre židov, ktorí sem prichádzali z Halíče a Ukrajiny. Prví židia žili vo Vranovskom okrese už v roku 1696. Za vyše tristo rokov tu vytvorili obrovské hmotné aj duchovné dedičstvo. Táto kniha načrtáva dejiny židov v obciach Vranovského okresu. Sleduje ich prvé príchody, nesmelé začiatky ale aj neskorší rozmach a životné príbehy židovských osobností, ktoré prispeli k rozvoju miest a obcí v regióne. Mapuje židovské cintoríny a synagógy, ktoré sa tu nachádzali a z ktorých mnohé boli zbúrané alebo zdevastované. Vďaka rozboru historických faktov a dokumentácii toho, čo zaniknutá židovská komunita vytvorila, máme možnosť získať obraz o etniku, ktoré bolo do druhej svetovej vojny neoddeliteľnou súčasťou občianskej spoločnosti severovýchodného Slovenska.

Jarovce l, 2. vydanie
Geografická poloha v hraničnom trojuholníku, v blízkosti Dunajského veľtoku, oddávna predurčovala Jarovce, aby sa stali dôležitou križovatkou obchodných ciest, vojenských ťažení, či prosperujúcim a strategicky dôležitým hospodárskym a ekonomickým zázemím.Na tomto území sa nachádzalo súvislé osídlenie od prehistorických čias až po súčasnosť. Dôležitým medzníkom v histórii obce bol príchod Chorvátov. Autori mapujú históriu Jaroviec do polovice 20. storočia, kedy 15. októbra 1947, na základe Parížskej dohody, boli spolu s Rusovcami a Čunovom, pričlenené k Československu. Kniha vychádza k osemstému výročiu prvej písomnej zmienky o Jarovciach 1208 – 2008.
