Když se na halloweenském večírku ve Three Pines ukáže záhadná postava v černé masce a černém hábitu, v Armandu Gamachovi a ostatních obyvatelích vesnice nejprve vzbudí jen zvědavost. Jenže dalšího rána se stejná postava objeví znovu, tentokrát na návsi. V lezavém listopadovém chladu, v dešti i sněhu tam celý den jen stojí a zírá před sebe, nehybná a mlčenlivá jako černý vykřičník. A další den zas. Gamache má podezření, že neznámého do vsi přivedl nějaký temný záměr, ale nemůže než čekat a doufat, že se jeho rostoucí obavy nenaplní. Dokud se neobjeví mrtvola.Armand Gamache se na postu vrchního komisaře Sureté potýká s narůstající kriminalitou, korupcí ve vlastních řadách, a hlavně s rozmáhajícím se obchodem s drogami, který je kořenem všeho zla. Jenže bojuje ve válce, která je předem prohraná. Nebo ne? Vyšetřování vraždy ve Three Pines uvede do pohybu nebezpečnou hru, při které může přijít o všechno, včetně vlastního čistého svědomí.

Nemine den, aby devítiletý Laurent Lepage nebil na poplach. Podle něj hrozí vesničce Three Pines neustále nějaké strašné nebezpečí, od invaze mimozemšťanů přes chodící stromy, okřídlené nestvůry až po dinosaury zahlédnuté na návsi. Jenže všichni včetně Armanda a Reine-Marie Gamachových, kteří teď v quebecké vísce bydlí, jsou přesvědčení, že má prostě jen moc bujnou fantazii. Vždyť kdo by těm jeho šíleným historkám věřil? Avšak když chlapec náhle zmizí, najednou se zdá, že aspoň v něčem možná nelhal. Tak začíná horečné pátrání po chlapci i po pravdě a to, co při tom vesničané objeví v lese, spustí řetězec událostí, jež vedou k vraždě, ta zas ke starému zločinu a ten ke staré zradě. A ta vede ke dveřím zahořklé staré básnířky. A teď je tu, ten stín, píše Ruth Zardová, už po tobě sáh. Three Pines kdysi navštívila nestvůra, která tam zapustila hluboké kořeny. A Ruth ví, že nyní je zpátky. Armand Gamache, bývalý šéf oddělení vražd Sureté du Québec, se zatím potýká s vlastním svědomím. Je totiž možné, že když chlapci nevěřil, má na následujících hrozných událostech svůj díl viny.

Když se v bistru ve Three Pines najde ve stěně sto let stará, ručně nakreslená mapa, nejdřív se zdá, že jde o pouhou kuriozitu, ale čím důkladněji ji obyvatelé vesnice zkoumají, tím podivnější jim připadá. Armanda Gamache, který ji dostane jako dárek k prvnímu dni v nové práci, zvláštní mapa fascinuje, avšak to ještě netuší, k jakým hrozným tajemstvím ho nakonec zavede. Na akademii Sureté, jejímž novým velitelem se Gamache stal, aby pro výcvik budoucích policistů vytvořil zdravější prostředí, dojde k vraždě jednoho z vyučujících a v pokoji s mrtvolou se ze záhadných důvodů najde právě kopie oné staré mapy. A jak vyšetřování postupuje, jednotlivé stopy se jako střelka kompasu čím dál víc stáčejí ke Gamachově třinácté komnatě, kam se bojí vstoupit dokonce i on sám. Jenže aby případ vyřešil a zúčtoval se svou minulostí, nic jiného mu nezbývá.

Vrchní inspektor Gamache je požádán, aby zajistil bezpečnost na přednášce hostující profesorky. Ačkoli váhá, proč by tímto měl být pověřen šéf oddělení vražd, zní to docela jednoduše. Ovšem jen do chvíle, než Gamache objeví odpudivou agendu profesorky Robinsonové. Požádá tedy vedení univerzity, aby akci zrušila. Ta to odmítne s odvoláním na akademickou svobodu a obviní Gamache z cenzury a intelektuální zbabělosti. Zanedlouho však začnou profesorčiny názory pronikat do rozhovorů. Šíří se a infikují. Pravda a skutečnost a klam jsou tak zmatené, že je téměř nelze od sebe odlišit. Z diskusí se stávají debaty, z debat hádky, z nich v boje. Ovšem Abigail Robinsonová lidem slibuje, že pokud ji budou následovat „Všechno bude v pořádku“. Jenže ne pro všechny. Když je spáchána vražda, připadne Armandu Gamachovi, jeho zástupci Jeanu Guyi Beauvoirovi a jejich týmu úkol vyšetřit zločin i toto mimořádné lidové poblouznění. A šílenství davů.

Ve Three Pines se zase vraždí. A dokonce o Vánocích. Tentokrát se obětí stala zlá, sobecká, panovačná CC de Poitiers, která si v malebné kanadské vísce koupila „prokletý dům“. Zdá se, že její smrti nelituje vůbec nikdo včetně nejbližší rodiny a že důvod zabít ji měl tady snad každý. Navíc pachatel zvolil naprosto originální způsob vraždy – tak rafinovaný, že dokázal pořádně zamotat hlavu nejen místní policii, ale i vrchnímu inspektorovi Armandu Gamachovi z quebecké Sureté. Gamache však má oproti ostatním jednu velkou výhodu – dobře ví, že aby našel vraha, musí ho nejdřív pochopit. „Vražda je hluboce lidská věc, a to se týká jak zavražděného, tak i vraha.“ Druhá kniha detektivní řady z pera kanadské spisovatelky Louise Pennyové vynesla autorce prestižní cenu Agatha Award za nejlepší klasický kriminální román roku – a jejímu hlavnímu hrdinovi přirovnání k legendám: svéráznému Columbovi či jedinečnému Herculu Poirotovi.

Přestože je Armand Gamache stále suspendovaný, rozhodně nezahálí. Snaží se vystopovat zásilku nebezpečných drog, než se dostanou mezi lidi a začnou je zabíjet. Vše se ještě víc zkomplikuje, když obdrží podivné pozvání na starý opuštěný statek a zjistí, že ho úplně cizí žena jmenovala likvidátorem své závěti – spolu s Myrnou Landersovou, majitelkou knihkupectví ve Three Pines, a jakýmsi mladíkem z Montrealu. Nikdo z nich zesnulou neznal. Navíc stará paní odkazuje dědicům bohatství, které nikdy neměla. Nebo měla? Zatímco se Gamache s ostatními pokouší onu záhadu rozlousknout, ukazuje se, že nic není, jak se zdá, a situace v sobě skrývá netušené nebezpečí – zvlášť když se na scéně objeví mrtvola.

Po traumatických událostech, které zapříčinily jeho odchod do penze, si Armand Gamache, bývalý vrchní inspektor Sureté du Québec, užívá poklidného života v zapadlé vísce Three Pines a pomalu se zotavuje z utržených ran.

Stěží si lze představit náročnější životní zkoušku. Kariéra Armanda Gamache, dříve respektovaného vrchního inspektora quebecké Sureté, balancuje nad propastí a v rozkladu je také jeho oddělení vražd, ze kterého musela odejít většina jemu věrných agentů. Osamělý policista čelí nejen intrikám z nejvyšších míst, ale i nedůvěře mezi nejbližšími. Ze staré známosti vezme případ Constance Pineaultové, která zemřela těsně před plánovanou cestou do vesničky Three Pines – a pak se strhne něco nevídaného. Ve hře jsou tisíce životů a Gamachovi síly den ode dne ubývají… Další díl populární detektivní série čtenáře v lecčem překvapí, neboť v něm autorka radikálně zamíchá osudy známých postav a vystaví je spleti lží, pomluv a dlouho klíčícího zla. Avšak i uprostřed chaosu lze najít řád a zdánlivě neproniknutelnou tmou může prorazit paprsek světla. Bude to ale stačit?

Zatímco samotné publikace Beat Generation autorů zůstaly nezměněné, kontexty těchto publikací byly zásadně odlišné: v USA byla díla autorů Beat Generation často redukována senzacechtivými kritiky na nevyzrálé vychvalování drog, sexu i násilí, v Československu naopak tito autoři získali přízeň čtenářů díky neobvyklosti svého literárního jazyka, kterou jejich próza a poezie představovaly na literárním trhu značně pokřiveném tezemi socialistického realismu. Tato studie tedy dokládá, jak mohou odlišné kontexty ovlivnit přístup čtenářů k literárnímu textu a jejich autorům, což ve výsledku pomáhá přeměnit daný text na odlišné umělecké dílo.

Have you ever wondered why there are so few success stories of women in business leadership? Or maybe you've wondered what life is really like on the other side of The Glass Ceiling? The world of work is supposedly changing, embracing diversity; yet are the opportunities we're giving to women really equal to those of men? Drawing on almost 20 years of research from around the world, The Glass Cliff phenomenon - whereby women are often only hired in leadership roles when a business is already underperforming, meaning their chances of success are limited before they ever even start in the role - is well established, but little known. Until now. This is the story of The Glass Cliff: a story of a structural inequality disguising itself as the personal failures of women. When Sophie Williams gave her viral TED talk on the subject, she was subsequently flooded with accounts of confident, accomplished women who had taken what seemed like a dream leadership role only to quickly find themselves in a waking nightmare.Without the language to describe their experiences they had been left blaming themselves. But learning about The Glass Cliff enabled them to reframe and reexamine what they'd gone through. Once we understand The Glass Cliff; once we can stand together and face it head-first; we can start to unravel so many other false narratives about women's leadership experiences that just don't make sense without it.

The truth about Sera's plan is out, shattering the fragile trust forged between her and Nyktos. Surrounded by those distrustful of her, all Sera has is her duty. She will do anything to end Kolis, the false King of Gods, and his tyrannical rule of Iliseeum, thus stopping the threat he poses to the mortal realm.Nyktos has a plan, though, and as they work together, the last thing they need is the undeniable, scorching passion that continues to ignite between them. Sera cannot afford to fall for the tortured Primal, not when a life no longer bound to a destiny she never wanted is more attainable than ever. But memories of their shared pleasure and unrivaled desire are a siren's call impossible to resist.And as Sera begins to realize that she wants to be more than a Consort in name only, the danger surrounding them intensifies. The attacks on the Shadowlands are increasing, and when Kolis summons them to Court, a whole new risk becomes apparent. The Primal power of Life is growing inside her, pushing her closer to the end of her Culling. And without Nyktos's love-an emotion he's incapable of feeling-she won't survive her Ascension. That is if she even makes it to her Ascension and Kolis doesn't get to her first. Because time is running out. For both her and the realms.

A runaway best seller in Sweden that has sold more than a million copies worldwide, Surrounded by Idiots shares a groundbreaking new method of understanding the people around you that will change how you interact with everyone from your coworkers to your spouse. Author Thomas Erikson explains that there are four key behavior types that define how we interact with and perceive the people around us. Understanding someone's pattern of behavior is the key to successful communication. Erikson breaks down the four kinds of behavior types - Reds who are dominant and commanding, Yellows who are social and optimistic, Greens who are laid back and friendly, and Blues who are analytical and precise - and explains how to identify and interact with each type of person. Instead of being bogged down with overly technical categorizations, the simple four color system allows you to speedily identify a friend or coworker and adjust how you speak and share with them. Surrounded by Idiots is full of practical information for interacting with people based on their color, including the strengths and weaknesses of all the profiles, how to give positive and negative feedback to each, and the best way to word an email when writing to someone with a different profile.
