Jeffrey Deaver knows how to hook readers and keep them guessing with suspenseful, twisty plots. This early Deaver effort, originally published in 1988, will not disappoint fans dazzled by his subsequent, high-profile Lincoln Rhyme series (The Bone Collector, The Coffin Dancer, The Empty Chair.)Manhattan Is My Beat takes its name from the (invented) 1947 film noir watched obsessively by murder victim Robert Kelly. Our heroine, Rune, (a punk with a heart of gold) works for Washington Square Video. On a routine pickup to retrieve Manhattan Is My Beat, she discovers Kelly just shot dead, the target of a professional hit. Rune and a woman jogger glimpse the presumed killer as he speeds off in a green car. While cops drag their heels in solving the mystery, Rune takes matters into her own hands, convinced that the motive for the murder is a missing suitcase stuffed with one million dollars--the subject, not coincidentally, of the film that Kelly and Rune both admired. An avid fan of fantasy novels and prone to see life through the prism of magic and quests, Rune takes up the challenge of finding the lost money and catching Kelly s killers. But the formidable hit team is intent upon destroying both possible witnesses to the murder, and their nimble crosses and double-crosses--some of which the reader sees, some of which are revealed at the end--make for fun reading.Plotting moves briskly in this novel, except for a slowdown in the story--Rune s ambiguous romance with downtown poseur Richard has little to do with catching killers. The conclusion, while neatly wrapped, is marred by the sudden appearance of a crucial detail that Deaver produces like a fancy dish under the waiter s silver dome. But the gimmick to offset the conclusion s predictability feels like a cheat rather than a revelation. All in all, however, the novel is excellent mind candy, a thrilling romp lead by an agile, street-smart heroine. Deaver writes with clarity, compassion, and intelligence, and with a decidedly human and contemporary slant -- -- Publishers Weekly

Audiokniha: Vraha, co se nedá chytit, odhalí jedině detektiv, který se nemůže hýbat. Newyorské bezpečnostní složky jsou v pohotovosti kvůli konferenci OSN, situaci však zkomplikuje nález těla bizarně zavražděného muže. Pod tlakem okolností požádá policie o pomoc bývalého detektiva Lincolna Rhymea, jenž je po úrazu však ochrnutý a upoutaný na lůžko. Aby se mohl pustit po stopě zabijáka, který své zohavené oběti pohřbívá typicky morbidním způsobem a záměrně zanechává drobné stopy, spojí se s mladou pochůzkářkou Amélií, která se tak stává jeho „rukama a nohama“. Jak přibývá umučených obětí, vynořují se z nově zjištěných informací obrysy dávných hrůz. „První případ Lincolna Rhymea je malý klenot, vyvolávající maximální napětí. Deaver neplýtvá slovy; kniha je stručná, ale především sevřená. Je jako dobře připravený sportovec: vše je naladěné na optimální výkon, aniž by to sklouzávalo k samoúčelnosti. Sběratel kostí je tak i léta po svém napsání jedním z nejlepších thrillerů, na jaké můžete v knihkupectvích narazit.“ – Boris Hokr, Knihožrout.cz

Ani hrozící kriminál však neohroženého kvadruplegika neodradí od snahy dopadnout zločince přezdívaného Zámečník, jehož noční dostaveníčka s nic netušícími oběťmi připravují obyvatele města o klidný spánek.

Audiokniha: Nejspolehlivější smrtící zbraní ve 21. století jsou informace…Slovutný newyorský kriminalista Lincoln Rhyme usilovně pracuje na dopadení mezinárodně hledaného profesionálního vraha, když se mu donese, že jeho bratranec je obviněn z vraždy a hrozí mu pětadvacet let natvrdo. A třebaže důkazy hovoří jasně v Arthurův neprospěch, trvá na své nevině. Geniálnímu kvadruplegikovi se do dalšího případu zprvu moc nechce, ale záhy nabude přesvědčení, že to na nebohého příbuzného kdosi šikovně narafičil – a že k něčemu podobnému nedošlo zdaleka poprvé. S přispěním půvabné vyšetřovatelky Amélie Sachsové a ochotného mladého pochůzkáře Rona Pulaskiho se Rhyme dostane na stopu vychytralého zločince, který stejně horlivě shromažďuje nepotřebné haraburdí i citlivá osobní data. Během pouhých tří dnů společně odhalí bezpočet šokujících informací o krádežích identity a odkryjí rozsáhlou síť obchodů s ní. Usvědčí však i zlovolného sběratele dat, jenž možná zná recept na dokonalou vraždu?Osmé setkání s nedostižným konzultantem newyorské policie v oboru soudní kriminalistiky. Tentokrát proti němu stojí pachatel nového věku, který své brutální zločiny svaluje na nevinné spoluobčany.„Navýsost aktuální téma činí děj ještě poutavějším.“ – Publishers Weekly„Pokud jste nebyli paranoidní před četbou Rozbitého okna, po ní už zaručeně budete.“ – The Book Report Network„Ne, ne, ne, tohle je příliš velká shoda okolností,“ zamumlal Rhyme. „Chci vidět jejich…“„Požádala jsem jednoho člověka, aby mi jejich spisy vytáhl z archivu.“Kriminalista se zasmál. I tentokrát byla Sachsová o krok před ním. Vzpomněl si na dobu před několika lety, kdy se spolu poprvé setkali. Sachsová byla tehdy rozčarovanou pochůzkářkou, odhodlanou vzdát se kariéry u policie, zatímco Rhyme byl připraven vzdát se něčeho mnohem důležitějšího. Jak dlouhý kus cesty od té doby urazili!Natáhl ústa k mikrofonu na tyčince. „Příkaz: zavolat Sellittovi.“ Byl vzrušený. Opět v sobě cítil ony neopakovatelné vibrace, rozechvění z blížícího se lovu. Zvedni ten zatracený telefon, spílal v duchu Sellittovi a poprvé po dlouhé době nemyslel na Anglii.„Nazdar, Linku.“ Místnost zaplnil Sellittův hlas s brooklynským ocáskem. „Co se…“„Poslyš.

The Light Room reminded me of that fundamental magic of writing - that the details of another person s life, so precisely and honestly rendered, can instantly loosen the edges of your own life and make you feel less alone Jenny Odell, bestselling author of How to Do NothingIn The Light Room, Zambreno offers her most profound and affecting work yet: a candid chronicle of life as a mother of two young daughters in a moment of profound uncertainty about public health, climate change, and the future we can expect for our children. Moving through the seasons, returning often to parks and green spaces, Zambreno captures the isolation and exhaustion of being home with a baby and a small child, but also small and transcendent moments of beauty and joy. Inspired by writers and artists ranging from Natalia Ginzburg to Joseph Cornell, Yuko Tsushima to Bernadette Mayer, Etel Adnan to David Wojnarowicz, The Light Room represents an impassioned appreciation of community and the commons, and an ecstatic engagement with the living world. How will our memories, and our children s, be affected by this time of profound disconnection? What does it mean to bring new life, and new work, into this moment of precarity and crisis? In The Light Room, Kate Zambreno offers a vision of how to live in ways that move away from disenchantment, and toward light and possibility.

Six young women lie asleep on low beds. Day and night no longer exist, extinguished by a potent cocktail of antipsychotic, sedative and anti-depressant drugs. The women are taken from their beds by the nurses and given electroconvulsive therapy before being put to sleep again. All under the predatory eye of Dr William Sargant.THE SLEEP ROOM is a chilling exposé of Sargant s bizarre psychiatric treatments that were inflicted on hundreds of women with mental illness - among them the actor Celia Imrie. At the story s centre is a sinister and charismatic doctor, who was a hugely influential figure in post-war British society - lauded by Robert Graves and Aldous Huxley as well regularly appearing on the BBC. When Sargant died in 1988, the obituaries were glowing.But since then, women treated without their consent and with often horrific side-effects lasting decades have been campaigning to tell the truth about Sargant. Author Jon Stock tells these women s stories as well delving into the murky history of Sargant s links with the CIA and M15, both of which took a close interest in his efforts to reprogramme the human mind.As compulsive as a thriller, The Sleep Room finally gets to the truth of a scandal at the heart of the British medical establishment.
