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.

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.

Pochází z Nizozemí, je řazen do období severoevropské renesance. Předpokládám, že sovy tam dorůstaly chvályhodných rozměrů.“McCaleb upíral oči na papír před sebou.

Six months ago, Harry Bosch left the LAPD before they could fire him, and then hired maverick Defense Attorney Mickey Haller to sue the department for forcing him out. Although it wasn''t the way he wanted to go, Harry has to admit that being out of the game has its benefits. Until Mickey asks him to help on one of his cases, and suddenly Harry is back where he belongs, right in the centre of a particularly puzzling murder mystery. The difference is, this time Harry is working for the defense, aiming to prevent the accused, Da''Quan Foster, from being convicted. And not only does the prosecution seem to have a cast-iron case, but having crossed over to ''the dark side'' as his former colleagues would put it, Harry is in danger of betraying the very principles he''s lived by his whole career.

More frightening still, the killer appears to know that Jack is getting nearer and nearer. An investigation that looks like the story of a lifetime might also be Jack''s ticket to a lonely end.

Mezi klienty je totiž i Walter Elliot, filmový magnát obžalovaný z dvojnásobné vraždy. Ačkoli je jeho případ zárukou vítané mediální pozornosti a tučných zisků, Haller prozatím netuší, že mezi zavražděním kolegy a obžalobou magnáta může existovat spojitost a že si tak namaloval na čelo terč. Navzdory nebezpečí pomalu proniká do případu a uvědomuje si, že tu něco nehraje a že Vincentem připravená obhajoba je založena na důmyslném, ale podvodném triku. Haller se ocitá mezi dvěma mlýnskými kameny: musí hájit zájmy klienta a současně dodržovat zákon. Nezbývá mu než vymyslet ďábelský plán, přestože si uvědomuje, že jeho realizací riskuje nejen svou kariéru, ale zejména holý život.

Audiokniha: Michael Haller je losangelský právnik bez kancelárie, ktorý úraduje zo zadného sedadla svojho Lincolna. Zákon je pre neho zriedkavo o vine alebo nevine – skôr o vyjednávaní a manipulácii. Niekedy dokonca o spravodlivosti. Tentokrát čelí vážnemu obvineniu on sám - je podozrivý z vraždy bývalého klienta. Prípad pridelia sudcovi, ktorý nemá Hallera veľmi v láske, keďže sa v minulosti proti jeho rozsudkom úspešne odvolal, a ten ho pošle rovno do väzby. Haller sa musí obhajovať a zároveň bojuje o život v prostredí, kde mu hrozí nebezpečenstvo nielen od spoluväzňov a dozorcov - niektorých totiž postavil pred súd -, ale aj od tých, ktorí naňho vraždu narafičili. Dokáže spoločne so svojim tímom a nevlastným bratom Harry Boschom obhájiť svoju nevinu a vypátrať skutočných páchateľov? V roku 2011 stvárnil Mickeyho Hallera na filmovom plátne známy hollywoodsky herec Matthew McCounaghey vo filme Obhajca (The Lincoln Lawyer).

It’s April in Antarctica and, in places so remote that they can only be seen by satellites, lines of Emperor Penguins appear in search of the perfect ice for raising their chicks. A wise old Empress has returned to the ice at Halley Bay year after year; with the help of her mate, she works to protect her newly-laid egg against the bitter winter. But a changing climate is making the Antarctic Ocean warmer – winds are stronger and storms are fiercer... With luminous illustrations and an introduction by climate scientist Dr Phil Trathan, this is the true story of how the Emperor penguin colony at Halley Bay was disrupted after the sea ice collapsed, and how it’s necessary to protect the environment so that these extraordinary survivors will continue to be found in the Antarctic for generations to come.

Everyday Life in the Ice Age is the first attempt to present a truly complete, balanced and realistic picture of life during the last Ice Age, with its many problems and challenges, while dispelling many of the myths and inaccuracies about our early ancestors.One of the most common questions asked by visitors to Europe’s decorated caves is ‘What was life like for these people?’ No previous book has ever managed to answer this question, and most studies of the period are aimed entirely at academics, tending to focus on tool-types rather than what the tools were used for. Women and children are almost invisible in these studies.The book examines all aspects of the lives of biologically modern humans in Europe from about 40,000 to 12,000 years ago, the period known as the Last Ice Age, a time of radical change in climate and environment. It explores how people were able to cope with and adapt to the often rapid alterations in their circumstances.Elle Clifford’s background in Social Psychology brings important insights into aspects of the past which are never normally discussed – domestic and family life, pregnancy and child-rearing, and care of the sick and elderly.The book is aimed not only at students and specialists, but also and especially the interested public, for whom the most interesting questions are: How were they like us? and what behaviours do we share?
