Audiokniha: Zlo má ďábelskou podobu… Abigail Campanová, zámožná matka sedmnáctileté dcery, přijíždí domů dřív, než měla v plánu. Dveře nachází odemčené a jedno z oken rozbité. Vyděšená spěchá k dceřinu pokoji a už na chodbě ji čeká hrůzný výjev: nad bezvládnou krvácející Emmou se tyčí muž s nožem v ruce. Abigail neváhá a vrací vetřelci úder, přitom myslí jen na dceru a na to, že jí z obličeje zbyla krvavá břečka. Záhy zjistí, že se katastrofálně mýlila. Od toho dne její život připomíná noční můru: nic už nebude jako dřív. Na vyšetřování případu pracuje nesourodá dvojice – dyslektický zvláštní agent Will Trent, frustrovaný tajnůstkářstvím a manipulacemi nadřízené Amandy Wagnerové, a detektiv Faith Mitchellová, jež kolegu Trenta otevřeně nesnáší. Osobní antipatie však musí jít stranou, neboť nelítostní pachatelé se skrývají pod maskami nevinnosti a v sázce je život nezletilé dívky. Druhý díl podmanivé kriminální série s Willem Trentem zavádí čtenáře do jedné z nejbohatších čtvrtí v Atlantě: na exkluzivní soukromou školu, kde nic není takové, jak se zdá být. „Vynikající kriminální román.“ – The Washington Post. „Příběh drží čtenáře v neustálém napětí, ať už se soustředí na vyšetřovatele, pozůstalé nebo podezřelé.“ – Kirkus Reviews. „Zápletka se vám dostane pod kůži, nenechá vás vydechnout, přiková vás k židli, zatímco každé otočení stránky přináší nečekané zvraty.“ – LiveJournal. „Abigail měla pocit, jako by se ponořila do vody. Všechno slyšela vzdáleně. „Myslím, že se k nám někdo vloupal,“ řekla manželovi. „Okamžitě jdi ven! Možná tam ještě je,“ vyštěkl Paul. Abigail se otočila a otevřela ústa, aby manželovi odpověděla, i když pořádně netušila co. V tu chvíli na podlaze spatřila krvavou šlápotu. „Emma,“ zašeptala, upustila telefon na zem a jako střela vyrazila po schodech k dceřinu pokoji. – ukázka z textu.

⠘He⠙s a fool that marries, but he⠙s a greater fool that does not marry a fool.⠙This bawdy, hilarious, subversive and wickedly satirical drama pokes fun at the humourless, the jealous, and the adulterous alike. It features a country wife, Margery, whose husband believes she is too naïve to cuckold him; and an anti-hero, Horner, who pretends to be impotent in order to have unrestrained access to the women keen on ⠘the sport⠙. A number of licentious and hypocritical women request Horner⠙s services ⠓ the country wife among them. The Country Wife has provoked powerfully mixed reactions over the years. The seventeenth century libertine king Charles II saw it twice, and is said to have joined the ⠘dance of the cuckolds⠙ at the end of one performance; the eighteenth century actor-playwright David Garrick declared it ⠘the most licentious play in the English language⠙; the Victorian Macaulay compared it to a skunk, because it was ⠘too filthy to handle and too noisome even to approach⠙. Twentieth century productions heralded it a Restoration masterpiece. Sexually frank, and as ready to criticise marriage as infidelity, the virtuosity, linguistic energy, brilliant wit, naughtiness and complexity of this ribald play have made it a staple of the modern stage. This student edition contains a lengthy, entirely new introduction, by leading scholar, Tiffany Stern, with a background on the author, structure, characters, genre, themes, original staging and performance history, as well as an updated bibliography and a fully annotated version of the playtext.
