Audiokniha: Vrchní inspektor Armand Gamache dokáže ocenit nejen dobré jídlo a pití, ale především ryzost lidské povahy. Za dlouhá léta, co slouží u quebecké Sûreté, pochopil, že v zárodku každé vraždy se skrývá lidské neštěstí a že k nemyslitelnému činu mohou vést i drobné křivdy, strach nebo malicherná závist, když je v sobě někdo nechá kvasit dostatečně dlouho. Jenže co když k vraždě dojde za „nadpřirozených“ okolností – ve strašidelném domě a při spiritistické seanci? Mohou snad mrtví zabíjet? A co asi viděla těsně před smrtí oběť, má-li v obličeji výraz takové hrůzy, že to šokuje i otrlého zřízence na patologii? Jedno je jisté. Srdeční a rázovití obyvatelé Three Pines při své nevinné, i když možná nerozvážné noční zábavě něco probudili k životu. A to něco teď straší celou dříve tak idylickou vesničku. Gamache čeká nejen měření sil s přízrakem starého domu Hadleyových, ale i vyčerpávající a nerovný souboj se zrádcem mezi svými nejbližšími. „Pennyová umně vykresluje živý obraz kanadsko-francouzské vesničky, jejích obyvatel a moudrého detektiva, který potěší mnoho fanoušků Agathy Christie jako Hercule Poirot 21. století.“ - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY „Pennyová je oceňovaná spisovatelka, jejíž smysl pro zajímavé charaktery, malebné prostředí a neotřelé zápletky dalece přesahuje tradiční hranice žánru.“ - LIBRARY JOURNAL „Pennyová stvořila svět, který je chytrý, komplexní a úchvatně napsaný.“ - THE CALGARY HERALD Sedminásobná držitelka Agatha Award za nejlepší detektivku roku!

THE BRAND NEW THRILLER FROM INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER LOUISE PENNY, COMING OCTOBER 2025. PRE-ORDER NOW!Somewhere out there, in the darkness, a black wolf is feeding.Several weeks ago, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec and his team uncovered and stopped a domestic terrorist attack in Montréal, arresting the person behind it. A man they called the Black Wolf.But their relief is short-lived. In a sickening turn of events, Gamache has realized that plot, as horrific as it was, was just the beginning. Perhaps even a deliberate misdirection. One he fell into. Something deeper and darker, more damaging, is planned. Did he in fact arrest the Black Wolf, or are they still out there? Armand is appalled to think his mistake has allowed their conspiracy to grow, to gather supporters. To spread lies, manufacture enemies, and feed hatred and division.Still recovering from wounds received in stopping the first attack, Armand is confined to the village of Three Pines, leading a covert investigation from there. He must be careful not to let the Black Wolf know he has recognized his mistake. In a quiet church basement, he and his senior agents Beauvoir and Lacoste, pore over what little evidence they have. Two notebooks. A few mysterious numbers on a tattered map of Québec. And a phrase repeated by the person they had called the Grey Wolf. A warning...In a dry and parched land where there is no water.Gamache and his small team of supporters realize that for the Black Wolf to have gotten this far, they must have powerful allies, in law enforcement, in industry, in organized crime, in the halls of government.From the apparent peace of his little village, Gamache finds himself playing a lethal game of cat and mouse with an invisible foe who is gathering forces and preparing to strike.

The beautiful design and attention to detail set this special edition book apart, whether you’re reading for the first time or building a library of your favorite classic literature books. What a study in contrasts is the friendship between Henry Jekyll and his boon companion, Edward Hyde. Where Jekyll is a handsome and respected man of science, Hyde is a surly and brutish misanthrope. Nevertheless, Jekyll allows Hyde free access to his home and laboratory and, surprisingly, madehim the sole beneficiary of his will. Given the closeness of their bond, it seems peculiar that no one has ever seen the two men together in public. And yet they share a remarkable chemistry. . . . First published in 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is Robert Louis Stevenson #39;s classic tale of the duality of human nature and his iconic presentation of what would come to be referred to as the split personality. Born in 1850 in Edinburgh, Scotland, Stevenson crafted this novella during the Victorian era, a period marked by strict social mores and a fascination with the dual nature of man. The story delves into the duality of human nature, portraying Dr. Henry Jekyll #39;s harrowing struggle with his darker self, Mr. Edward Hyde, through a transformative potion that he creates. Considered a pioneering work in the psychological horror genre, it explores themes of identity, human evil, and the societal pressures that influence personal choices. Historically, it reflects the Victorian anxiety about the public and private spheres and the fears of degeneration prevalent in the late nineteenth century. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde challenges the notion of inherent goodness and questions the possibility of fully understanding one #39;s own multiplicity and capacity for evil. Its enduring appeal lies in its profound philosophical questions about the essential conflict within human nature.

The first hundred years of the American Mafia s existence would come to be seen as a golden age. From small-town Sicily to glittering Las Vegas, the mob had carefully expanded and consolidated their power until their influence touched almost every aspect of American society. But in the 1960s, everything changed.In CLASH OF TITANS, the second volume of former Mafia associate Louis Ferrante s groundbreaking Borgata trilogy, we discover for the first time the true scale of the conflicts that rocked the organisation between 1960 and 1985. From Robert F. Kennedy s personal crusade against the unexpecting mob to covert assassinations, betrayal by government informants and full-blown insurrections, we follow the Mafia from the apex of their power to their descent into civil war.This story takes place against the backdrop of a changing America, where shadowy CIA conspiracies, brutal Justice Department battles and J Edgar Hoover s FBI all leave their mark on the Mafia tale.Ferrante s insider history sheds new light on men so powerful they have since become household names: Jimmy Hoffa, Crazy Joe Gallo, Carlo Gambino and more. And, as ruthless infighting leads to rebellion, we watch as a bitter power struggle between Paul Castellano and the young John Gotti begins.
