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.

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.

Audiokniha: Harry Bosch je opäť v akcii a dostal naraz dva prípady. Prvý súvisí s obvinením z roku 1989, no súčasná analýza DNA potvrdila, že usvedčujúci dôkaz, kvapka krvi, patrí niekoľkokrát trestanému násilníkovi, čo sedí za mrežami. Problém je však v tom, že gauner mal v čase zločinu len osem rokov. Bosch sa teda púšťa do vyšetrovania. Zároveň mu opäť do cesty vstúpi Irvin Irving. Jeho syn vypadol z okna a Harry dostal za úlohu zistiť, či išlo o samovraždu, alebo o čosi iné. Intuícia Boscha ani teraz nesklame, za oboma prípadmi sa skrýva kopec špiny a nečakaných zápletiek.Povedali o titule Connelly sa vyzná v policajnom vyšetrovaní a vyzná sa v súdnej sieni.

Searingly specific, exquisite and requisite. I relished reading every tiny morsel of it Shirley Manson Open-hearted, gut-wrenching and yet elegiac, these poems pack a hefty emotional punch. Michael Pederson s poems display a huge vocabulary for love, love in all its many forms and guises. These poems chart the journey from boyhood to manhood, the highs and the lows, the losses and the gains, always working their way towards an essential, emotional truth Jackie Kay If the alphabet is a piano keyboard then Michael Pedersen plays it with the confidence and panache of a jazz improviser who knows that every note can have the potential to change someone s life.

I adore poetry like this Stephen FryThe Cat Prince Other Poems is the third collection from prize-winning poet, and author of Boy Friends, Michael Pedersen. All moggy moxie, Pedersen croons to the beauty and devastation of love, loss, friendship, cats and careless joy. Equal parts tender and trenchant, raw and ribald, plangent and smutty, these poems exhibit an emotionally charged, fantastical playground of language and lore. From the brutalising death of a cherished friend comes a gut-wrenching grief. And so begins a tenacious quest for light, lustre and survival as Pedersen pays tender tribute to a gorgeous, life-altering friendship. In doing so, he harks back to the hilarity of being young, reckless and petrified: memories of boys showboating in a fishing tackle shop, games of feline metamorphosis, laments for demolished buildings and a case of constipation of the most pernicious stock.As frisky as it is fierce, The Cat Prince pounces around the poet s emotional and physical landscapes, past and present, unfankling a Scotland full of gothic splendour and nature s majesty.These poems reveal a poet at his bravest and most vulnerable. The Cat Prince Other Poems purrs with affection, flashes its teeth, then digs in the claws.

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.
