Audiokniha: Michael Mickey Haller je právnik bez kancelárie. Úraduje na zadnom sedadle svojho Lincolna, a tak je vždy nablízku svojim klientom - motorkárom, podvodníkom, drogovým dílerom. Zákon je pre neho málokedy o vine alebo nevine - je o vyjednávaní a manipulácii. Keď si ho ako obhajcu najme playboy z Beverly Hills, ktorého zatkli za napadnutie mladej ženy, získa po rokoch prvého bohatého klienta. Dokonca to vyzerá tak, že tentokrát bude obhajovať skutočne nevinného človeka. Zdá sa, že prípad rýchlo uzavrie. Potom však zavraždia vyšetrovateľa a Haller zistí, že prípad nebude taký jednoduchý, ako sa na prvý pohľad zdalo. Ak chce uniknúť skrytému zlu, musí využiť všetky svoje schopnosti. V stávke totiž nie je len ostro sledovaný súdny prípad, ale aj jeho život... V roku 2011 stvárnil Mickeyho Hallera na filmovom plátne známy hollywoodsky herec Matthew McCounaghey vo filme Obhajca (The Lincoln Lawyer). „Connelly predvádza energickú drámu poháňanú cynizmom a právnikom menom Michael Haller („Ľudia mi hovoria Mickey“), ktorý pracuje pre spodinu zeme a neospravedlňuje sa.“— Marilyn Stasio, New York Times „Connellyho práca má všetko – ostro vykreslené, pútavé postavy, svižné dialógy... Rovnako ako v prípade Scotta Turowa, aj on chápe, že dobrý právny thriller je predovšetkým o práve, nie o právnikoch, ktorí sa správajú ako bojovníci so zločinom.“ —David Lazarus, San Francisco Chronicle „Advokát zo zadného sedadla je Connellyho prvý právny thriller a je jedným z najlepších románov, ktoré napísal, ak nie najlepší.“ - Carol Memmott, USA TODAY „Michael Connelly je vo svete obhajcu trestných činov rovnako doma, ako bol vždy vo sfére vyšetrovateľov a policajtov. Všetky vlastnosti, ktoré mu zaslúžene priniesli mnohých čitateľov, sú tu opäť predvedené: svižné tempo, dômyselné zvraty, rafinované písanie a atmosféra autority na každej stránke. Ďalšia skvelá kniha od skvelého spisovateľa.“ — Scott Turow, author

Audiokniha: Pod svícnem bývá největší tma. A Boschova reputace přímo oslňuje…Bývalý agent FBI Terrence McCaleb dostal v životě druhou šanci a po transplantaci srdce raději pověsil stresující povolání na hřebík. Z rodinné idyly na ostrůvku v zátoce Santa Monica však úspěšného sestavovatele zločineckých profilů vytrhne návštěva vyšetřovatelky z losangeleské mordparty, která si neví rady s případem brutální vraždy malíře pokojů Edwarda Gunna. Mrtvý totiž nebyl žádné neviňátko. Drastický způsob jeho likvidace navíc v policii vzbuzuje oprávněné obavy, že patrně nepůjde o poslední oběť sadistického vraha. Zemřelého kdysi vyšetřoval Terryho přítel Harry Bosch – jenž zrovna svědčí u ostře sledovaného procesu s hollywoodským režisérem obžalovaným z násilného zločinu –, a tak je uznávaný detektiv požádán o pomoc. Což byla možná chyba, jelikož některé z nalezených stop vedou právě k němu…Sedmý díl populární série kriminálních románů, podle níž vznikl úspěšný seriál Bosch s Titusem Welliverem v titulní roli. Tentokrát se však slovutný pátrač zapletl do vyšetřované vraždy víc, než by mu bylo milé. „Connelly v nejlepší formě. Vřele doporučujeme!“ – Library Journal„Autor Boschovi s McCalebem umožňuje, aby se vůči sobě kriticky vymezili, a to způsobem, který prohlubuje čtenářovo pochopení obou postav.“ – The New Yorker„Napínavý thriller se všemi nezbytnými atributy žánru. Michael Connelly rozhodně psát umí.“ – databazeknih.cz„Ať už fandíte Boschovi, nebo McCalebovi, v tomhle mrazivém mistrovském duelu nemůžete prohrát.“ – Kirkus Reviews „Tak tady je další. Zdá se, že práce tohohle člověka jsou pomalované ptáky temnot odshora dolů. Má strašně dlouhé křestní jméno. Nahláskuju ti ho. Há-i-e-er-o-en-y-em-u-es. Pochází z Nizozemí, je řazen do období severoevropské renesance. Předpokládám, že sovy tam dorůstaly chvályhodných rozměrů.“McCaleb upíral oči na papír před sebou. Jméno, které vzniklo z písmen diktovaných Doranovou, mu připadalo povědomé.„Zapomněla jsi příjmení. Taky je tak dlouhé?“„Promiň, Terry. Ne, to je docela kraťoučké. Bosch. Jako ty zapalovací svíčky nebo elektrické spotřebiče.“McCaleb zůstal sedět jako zkamenělý. – ukázka z knihy

Los Angeles, August 1965. Anger and pent-up frustrations boil over in the Watts neighborhood after a traffic stop of two Black motorists. As the Watts riots explode, crime photographer Harry Ingram snaps photos at the scene, including images of the police as they unleash batons, dogs, and water hoses on civilians. When he captures the image of an unarmed activist being shot down by the cops, he winds up in the hospital, beaten, his camera missing. Proof of the unjust killing seems lost - until Ingram s girlfriend, Anita Claire, retrieves the hidden film in a daring rescue. The photo makes front-page news. A recuperating Ingram is approached by Betty Payton, a comrade of Anita s mother, who wants Ingram s help tracking down her business associate Moses Mose Tolbert, last seen during the riots. Ingram follows the investigation down a rabbit hole of burglary rings, bank robberies, looted cash, and clandestine agendas-all the while grappling with his newfound fame, which puts him in the sightlines of LAPD s secretive intelligence division. Ash Dark as Night is a nail-biting ride-along through midcentury Los Angeles with a crime fiction legend in the driver s seat.

⠘A wonderful book. Cathy RentzenbrinkA soul-lifting tale of finding a new life in a passion, a glorious insight into the community of London s oldest food market, an exploration of the senses the modern world forgets to celebrate ⠓ taste, touch, smell⠦ and the most enjoyable and fascinating education on all things cheese.A giant wheel of Comté ⠓ a cheese full of delight, a mosaic of flavour ⠓ can sometimes become flat. Despite all that⠙s gone into making it and caring for it, its complexity mysteriously vanishes, its spark dies. Cheesemongers know that.

This edition of Michael Wood s groundbreaking first book explores the fascinating and mysterious centuries between the Romans and the Norman Conquest of 1066. In Search of the Dark Ages vividly conjures up some of the most famous names in British history, such as Queen Boadicea, leader of a terrible war of resistance against the Romans, and King Arthur, the once and future king , for whose riddle Wood proposes a new and surprising solution. Here too, warts and all, are the Saxon, Viking and Norman kings who laid the political foundations of England - Offa of Mercia, Alfred the Great, Athelstan, and William the Conqueror, whose victory at Hastings in 1066 marked the end of Anglo-Saxon England. Reflecting recent historical, textual and archaeological research, this revised edition of Michael Wood s classic book overturns preconceptions of the Dark Ages as a shadowy and brutal era, showing them to be a richly exciting and formative period in the history of Britain. With In Search of the Dark Ages, Michael Wood wrote the book for history on TV. The Times Michael Wood is the maker of some of the best TV documentaries ever made on history and archaeology.
