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.

Po nevydařeném soudním procesu je proslulý vyšetřovatel Lincoln Rhyme donucen ukončit spolupráci s newyorskou policií. 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.

Vybrané nešťastníky prozatím okrádá jen o pocit bezpečí, nicméně to se může brzy změnit. A tak Rhyma a jeho kolegy v čele s nepostradatelnou Amélií Sachsovou čeká závod s časem: protivníkem jim bude perfekcionista plánující několik tahů dopředu a v mnohém připomínající kriminalistova úhlavního nepřítele, obávaného Hodináře… Patnáctý díl úspěšné série detektivních románů nabízí další napínavý kriminální případ pod geniální taktovkou Lincolna Rhyma. „Skutečnost, že Rhyme a Sachsová se musejí obejít bez pomoci policie, s níž mají zakázáno spolupracovat, ještě podtrhuje dusno, které příběh provází až do poslední stránky.“ – The Book Reporter. „Pokud od Jefferyho Deavera očekáváte napětí, pečlivou laboratorní práci a zdatné, i když trochu svérázné detektivy, dostane se vám všeho dostatek.“ – centrum-detektivky.cz. „Poznávacím znamením [Deaverových knih] jsou neskutečné zvraty a překvapivá odhalení, protože v jeho knihách nikdy nic není takové, jak se na první pohled zdá. A v Nočním návštěvníkovi to autor dotáhl k dokonalosti, protože každý zvrat ještě postaví vzhůru nohama a následně obrátí naruby.“ – databazeknih.cz. „Kdo chce překonat zámek, musí přechytračit výrobce i zámek samotný. Musí být jako šachista. A musí tohle všechno zvládat pod tlakem tikajících hodin. Ten váš kluk je inteligentní a šikovný zároveň. To je u člověka, který provádí takové věci, hodně špatná kombinace. Takže jestli vám můžu radit, vyčleňte na něj dost prostředků. Najděte ho. A najděte ho rychle. Jinak z toho kouká pěkný průser." – ukázka z textu.

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.

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.

“I moved to a country called writing” declares Tim Tim Cheng in this striking debut collection. The Tattoo Collector explores family history, displacement, politics, protest, and, as it moves between East and West, the uses of language to illustrate and interrogate what lies in between. As these poems range from Hong Kong, Scotland, and London, they unravel the relationship between the body, ecology and class with precise and haunting tenderness.Here, in Cheng’s illuminating and needle-sharp poems, the tattoo is a narrative, the body a radical means of expression. In states of flux, between resisting and belonging, we enter museums, hospitals, graveyards, and gigs. These intimate and polyphonic poems invite us to be troubled and enthralled by exhibits and the stories they have to tell, to look inside the glass box and study what is on display. Close-up, the poems bring into the daylight details that can be seen skin-deep on the surface, as well as those which point to another meaning, inked indelibly, beneath.

THE EYES OF THE SKIN Explore the relationship between architecture and the sensory experience with the fourth edition of this groundbreaking work First published in 1996, The Eyes of the Skin is a classic of architectural theory. It asks the far-reaching question why, when there are five senses, is one single sense—sight—so predominant in architectural culture and design? With the ascendancy of the digital and the all-pervasive use of the image electronically, the subject is all the more pressing and topical since the first edition’s publication. Juhani Pallasmaa argues that the suppression of the other four sensory realms has led to the overall impoverishment of our built environment, often diminishing the emphasis on the spatial experience of a building and architecture’s ability to inspire, engage and be wholly life enhancing. For a student reading this text for the first time, The Eyes of the Skin is a revelation. It provides a fresh, compelling insight into architectural culture which continues to inspire more than a quarter-century after its initial publication. The fourth edition of The Eyes of the Skin also features: The author’s latest views on the emphasis of place, unfocused perception and existential experience Updates and clarifications throughout, to reinforce how our sense of self in the world remains our most important sense with the greatest architectural impact An updated Foreword that touches on the current understanding of the seminal importance of the existential sense The Eyes of the Skin is a must-read for all architecture students, who will find its insights transformative.
