Audiokniha: Joona Linna před rokem zmizel. Skoro všichni si myslí, že je mrtvý. Skoro všichni. Policie obdrží video snímající tajně ženu za oknem, jak si obléká punčocháče. Objekt slídila se druhý den stane obětí krvavé vraždy. Krutost činu dovede vyšetřovatele k pastorovi Rockymu Kyrklundovi, který byl před devíti lety odsouzen za brutální zabití k nařízené psychiatrické péči. Domnělý viník se však ke spáchání násilí nedoznal, neboť si z události nic nepamatuje kvůli poškození mozku, které utrpěl při autonehodě. Zatímco Rocky dosud pobývá na uzavřeném oddělení, je na cestě další nahrávka. Nikdo nechápe, co se děje, ale komisařka Margot Silvermanová je přesvědčená, že se jedná o sériového vraha. Poslední díl řady s Joonou Linnou vychází opět v intenzivním podání Pavla Rímského, jehož hlas už k sérii neodmyslitelně patří. „V románu Stalker autorská dvojice pod pseudonymem Lars Kepler vycítila naladění společnosti, podchytila trendy, ve kterých moderní člověk žije, a proměnila je v ústřední motivy. Proto se strhující detektivní příběh odehrává v kulisách internetového světa, YouTubu a sociálních sítí. Vyprávění postrádá hluchá místa a ve své komplexnosti je příběh vystavěn a precizně domyšlen do nejmenších detailů.“ — Novinky.cz „Dobře vystavěná, napínavá detektivka, která nikdy neztrácí na intenzitě… Kepler to zase dokázal.“ — Adresseavisen „Autoři vycházejí ze stejného receptu jako u předchozích knih. Mají skvěle vyvinutý smysl pro to, co je třeba k tomu, aby v lidech probudili jejich nejtemnější strachy a představy.“ — Dagsavisen „Stalker je ještě o několik příček lepší než předchozí díly série.

Obličej má zakrytý rukama, jako by si hrála na schovávanou. Celý pokoj je od krve, na jejím útlém těle však není jediná kapička. Joona pozoruje mrtvolu, prodlévá u každého detailu a přemýšlí. Je to vlastně ještě dítě, ale osud ji zavedl až do tohoto pokoje, do střediska speciální péče pro mládež. Možná měla jen smůlu na rodiče a pěstouny.

Je totiž evidentní, že zavražděný byl vykradač hrobů, sběratel hrůzných „trofejí" a kanibal. O několik dní později požádá švédskou policii o pomoc německá komisařka, protože v kempu nedaleko Rostocku byl zabit sexuální násilník. Na jednu stranu to vypadá jako čistka nekalých živlů, ale co když nevraždí vigilant, nýbrž někdo, kdo hledá stejně zvrhlého partnera, jako je on sám... a likviduje neuspěšné adepty?

Astrid joins the Resistance, and Kai is thrown out of his own church. A suspected betrayal within Astrid''s own family unites the Sister Bells in Dresden. Special effort and sacrifice, not only from the Hekne family, will be needed to combat the postwar rumours and mistrust.This family drama, set in the tumultuous times of WWII, beautifully completes the Sister Bells trilogy. But while it connects to the previous books in surprising and thrilling ways, it can also be read as a standalone, a beautiful novel of magical realism that intertwines Norwegian folklore and myths with a rich story of hardship and passion.Translated from the Norwegian by Deborah DawkinPraise for The Bell in the Lake - a Times Historical Fiction Book of the Month"A beautiful example of modern Norwegian folklore" Guardian "Lyrical, melancholy and with beautifully drawn characters" Daily Mail"Mytting''s cleverly crafted story heads inexorably to a moving conclusion" Sunday Times

The longest-serving spy for the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), Ellis helped set up the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), now known as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS). In the 1940s he was considered one of the top three secret agents in MI6 and controlled its activities, as one journalist put it, 'for half the world'.But in the 1980s crusading espionage journalist Chapman Pincher (in the hugely successful books Their Trade is Treachery and Too Secret Too Long) and retired MI5 intelligence officer Peter Wright (in the worldwide bestseller Spycatcher) posthumously accused Ellis of having operated as a 'triple agent' for Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. In 1965, while under interrogation in London, Ellis had allegedly made a confession that he had supplied information to the Nazis before World War II. However, Pincher's and Wright's accusations against Ellis have never been comprehensively proven. No confession has materialised.Was Ellis guilty or was an innocent man framed? By confessing did he take the fall for someone else? Or had the intelligence agencies of the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia been fatally compromised by a 'super mole'?

A major reassessment of one of Britain’s most important monarchsA Financial Times History Book of the Year 2025A Times Best Book of the Year 2025A History Today Best Book of the Year 2025A Royal Academy Magazine Best Book of the Year 2025'After finishing this beguiling book, there seems no point in reading anything else... In research, analysis and imagination, it’s a masterpiece' - Gerard de Groot, The TimesJames VI & I, who died 400 years ago, was one of Britain’s most consequential and interesting monarchs, not least in creating the British monarchy itself by joining the English and Scottish thrones. A major intellectual, James's preoccupations ranged from witchcraft and theological controversy to hunting, diplomacy, poetry and sartorial fashion. The 'Mirror of Great Britain' was a spectacular jewel that gave symbolic endorsement to James's vision of British union, but mirrors themselves — with their limitless capacity to magnify, illuminate and distort — supplied James with one of his favourite literary metaphors. Ruler of Scotland for nearly four decades before his accession to the English throne in 1603, James was a ‘cradle king’ whose long reigns encompassed extraordinary dramas, including his abduction in the ‘Ruthven Raid’ in 1582 and his attempted assassination in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. In his lifetime, James often confounded contemporaries’ expectations while his posthumous reputation has been distorted by crude stereotypes. Closely attentive to James’s own words — in numerous publications, manuscript musings, topical verse and private correspondence — Clare Jackson's wonderful new book tells the story of this highly unusual monarch with great flair and insight.

Extraordinary'' DAILY MAIL''A bewitching, invigorating history'' OLIVIA LAING''Grips from the opening pages'' FINANCIAL TIMES''Important and brilliantly accessible'' VOGUEUntil the twentieth century, art history was, in the main, written by white men who tended to write about other white men. The idea that women in the West have always made art was rarely cited as a possibility. Yet they have - and, of course, continue to do so - often against tremendous odds, from laws and religion to the pressures of family and public disapproval. In THE MIRROR AND THE PALETTE, Jennifer Higgie introduces us to a cross-section of women artists who embody the fact that there is more than one way to understand our planet, more than one way to live in it and more than one way to make art about it. Spanning 500 years, biography and cultural history intertwine in a narrative packed with tales of rebellion, adventure, revolution, travel and tragedy enacted by women who turned their back on convention and lived lives of great resilience, creativity and bravery. This is a dazzlingly original and ambitious book by one of the most well-respected art critics at work today.

Now a major film starring Ryan Gosling, Claire Foy and Kyle Chandler, directed by Oscar-winner Damien Chazelle, First Man by James Hansen offers the only authorized glimpse into the life of America’s most famous astronaut, Neil Armstrong – the man whose “one small step” changed history. In First Man, Hansen explores the life of Neil Armstrong. Based on over 50 hours of interviews with the intensely private Armstrong, who also gave Hansen exclusive access to private documents and family sources, this “magnificent panorama of the second half of the American twentieth century” (Publishers Weekly, Starred Review) is an unparalleled biography of an American icon. When Apollo 11 touched down on the moon’s surface in 1969, the first man on the moon became a legend. Hansen vividly recreates Armstrong's career in flying, from his seventy-eight combat missions as a naval aviator flying over North Korea to his formative transatmospheric flights in the rocket-powered X-15 to his piloting Gemini VIII to the first-ever docking in space. For a pilot who cared more about flying to the Moon than he did about walking on it, Hansen asserts, Armstrong's storied vocation exacted a dear personal toll, paid in kind by his wife and children. In the years since the Moon landing, rumors swirled around Armstrong concerning his dreams of space travel, his religious beliefs, and his private life. This book reveals the man behind the myth. In a penetrating exploration of American hero worship, Hansen addresses the complex legacy of the First Man, as an astronaut and as an individual. In First Man, the personal, technological, epic, and iconic blend to form the portrait of a great but reluctant hero who will forever be known as history's most famous space traveler.
