Záhy nabude podezření, že současný zločin patrně nějak souvisí s dávnou děsivou smrtí jednoho z otcových učitelů… Malá, ale inteligentní a odvážná vypravěčka nás s nadhledem a nezřídka překvapivě pronikavou ironií zavede do prostředí anglického venkova padesátých let minulého století. Koláč s kapkou jedu kráčí úspěšně ve šlépějích klasických děl britské detektivní školy a ocení ho nepochybně každý milovník napínavých příběhů, a to bez rozdílu věku. ALAN BRADLEY (1938) Torontský rodák, vyrůstal v Cobourgu v Ontariu. Než v roce 1994 odešel do předčasného důchodu, aby se mohl věnovat psaní, byl pětadvacet let ředitelem oddělení televizní techniky v mediálním centru Saskatchewanské univerzity. Napsal řadu scénářů, povídek pro děti i pro dospělé a nespočet článků o umění a životním stylu pro kanadská periodika. Je spoluautorem publikace Ms. Holmes of Baker Street, která vyvolala značný ohlas. Dva roky nato vydal memoáry pod názvem The Shoebox Bible. Celosvětově jej však proslavily až detektivky, v nichž vystupuje geniální mladá britská vyšetřovatelka Flavia de Luce. Za první z nich, Koláč s kapkou jedu, získal v roce 2007 cenu Debut Dagger Award udělovanou Asociací autorů detektivek a amazon.com ji zařadil mezi desítku nejúspěšnějších žánrových titulů roku. Série se dočkala pěti pokračování, vychází ve třiceti devíti zemích a práva na její televizní adaptaci zakoupil oscarový producent a režisér Sam Mendes (Americká krása, Skyfall). Alan Bradley žije s manželkou na ostrově Man a pracuje na dalším Flaviině příběhu. Více na alanbradleyauthor.com MARTHA ISSOVÁ (1981) je česká divadelní a filmová herečka.

eBook: Vyhnanství! Tak dvanáctiletá Flavia de Luce běduje nad svým údělem, když ji otec s tetou Felicity odešlou do internátní školy. Nestráví zde ani den a dostane dárek. A protože je nadaná chemička a pátračka, není jím nic jiného než vyuzená mumifikovaná mrtvola, která vypadla z komína v její ložnici. A tak Flavia chodí na vyučování, dělá si přátele (a nepřátele) a snaží se odhadnout přísnou ředitelku i učitelský sbor (k němuž patří třeba vražedkyně zproštěná obvinění). Pátrá přitom po identitě oběti i po podezřelých a motivech. Proslýchá se, že ve škole straší a několik dívek dokonce zmizelo. Ovšem pokud jde o vyřešení více záhad najednou, je Flavia ten správný člověk!

'His first novel is a revelation ... the writing is vivid, serious and extraordinary ... wonderful' The Times The Sea is My Brother is Jack Kerouac's very first novel, begun shortly after his tour as a merchant sailor in 1942. Lost during his lifetime, it is an intense portrait of friendship and brotherhood and a meditation on the desire to escape society, following the fortunes of two men as they impulsively decide to work their passage on the S.S. Westminster: drinking, arguing, playing cards, dodging torpedoes and contemplating the vast, terrible beauty of the sea. Published with fragments of early stories and letters, this visceral work gives a unique insight into the young Kerouac and the formation of his genius. 'What's clear from this newly published first novel is that Kerouac was positively fizzing with talent at an early age' Sunday Times
