The Sunday Times Bestseller'A full-spectrum triumph' GuardianA sensational new novel from the bestselling author of Less Than Zero and American Psycho that tracks a group of privileged Los Angeles high school friends as a serial killer strikes across the city. His first novel in 13 years, The Shards is Bret Easton Ellis at his inimitable best. LA, 1981.Buckley College in heat. 17-year-old Bret is a senior at the exclusive Buckley prep school when a new student arrives with a mysterious past. Robert Mallory is bright, handsome, charismatic, and shielding a secret from Bret and his friends, even as he becomes a part of their tightly knit circle.Bret's obsession with Mallory is equalled only by his increasingly unsettling preoccupation with The Trawler, a serial killer on the loose who seems to be drawing ever closer to Bret and his friends, taunting them with grotesque threats and horrific, sharply local acts of violence. Can he trust his friends - or his own mind - to make sense of the danger they appear to be in? Thwarted by the world and by his own innate desires, buffeted by unhealthy fixations, Bret spirals into paranoia and isolation as the relationship between The Trawler and Robert Mallory hurtles inexorably toward a collision. Gripping, sly, suspenseful, deeply haunting and often darkly funny, The Shards is a mesmerizing fusing of fact and fiction that brilliantly explores the emotional fabric of Bret's life at 17 - sex and jealousy, obsession and murderous rage.

'One brilliant woman writing about another: an irresistible combination.' - Antonia Fraser'One of the most delightful biographies I have ever read.' - A.N. Wilson'Reading Worsley is as enjoyable as reading Christie herself.' - Ruth Scurr'Full of unique insight, eye opening detail, sharp analysis... Gripping.' - Kate Williams 'Nobody in the world was more inadequate to act the heroine than I was.'Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was 'just' an ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn't? As Lucy Worsley says, 'She was thrillingly, scintillatingly modern'.She went surfing in Hawaii, she loved fast cars, and she was intrigued by the new science of psychology, which helped her through devastating mental illness. So why - despite all the evidence to the contrary - did Agatha present herself as a retiring Edwardian lady of leisure? She was born in 1890 into a world which had its own rules about what women could and couldn't do. Lucy Worsley's biography is not just of an internationally renowned bestselling writer.It's also the story of a person who, despite the obstacles of class and gender, became an astonishingly successful working woman. With access to personal letters and papers that have rarely been seen, Lucy Worsley's biography is both authoritative and entertaining and makes us realise what an extraordinary pioneer Agatha Christie was - truly a woman who wrote the twentieth century.

How necessary, at our particular moment’ Tessa Hadley________________From the New York Times-bestselling, Booker Prize-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo and Tenth of December comes a literary master class on what makes great stories work and what they can tell us about ourselves - and our world today.For the last twenty years, George Saunders has been teaching a class on the Russian short story to his MFA students at Syracuse University. In A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, he shares a version of that class with us, offering some of what he and his students have discovered together over the years. Paired with iconic short stories by Chekhov, Turgenev, Tolstoy, and Gogol, the seven essays in this book are intended for anyone interested in how fiction works and why it’s more relevant than ever in these turbulent times.In his introduction, Saunders writes, “We’re going to enter seven fastidiously constructed scale models of the world, made for a specific purpose that our time maybe doesn’t fully endorse but that these writers accepted implicitly as the aim of art—namely, to ask the big questions, questions like, How are we supposed to be living down here? What were we put here to accomplish? What should we value? What is truth, anyway, and how might we recognize it?” He approaches the stories technically yet accessibly, and through them explains how narrative functions; why we stay immersed in a story and why we resist it; and the bedrock virtues a writer must foster. The process of writing, Saunders reminds us, is a technical craft, but also a way of training oneself to see the world with new openness and curiosity.A Swim in a Pond in the Rain is a deep exploration not just of how great writing works but of how the mind itself works while reading, and of how the reading and writing of stories make genuine connection possible.

V jednom bytě nedaleko hřbitova Našeho Spasitele začíná ze stropu něco kapat do hrnce s vařícími se bramborami. Ve vodě se tvoří drobné černé chuchvalce. Ve svém bytě v Sofiině ulici leží tou dobou na zemi Harry Hole – opilý, opuštěný a suspendovaný. Ve zběsilém, ale neúspěšném honu za usvědčením svého policejního kolegy Toma Waalera z vraždy zradil všechny své blízké. Za čtyři týdny bude bez práce. Vtom zvoní telefon. Šéf oddělení vražd povolává Harryho k podivnému nálezu – zavražděná žena s odseknutým prstem. Harry Hole dostává svůj poslední případ. Bude na něm pracovat společně s jediným kolegou, který právě nemá dovolenou, s Tomem Waalerem, jenž Harrymu učiní jistou nabídku. Vzápětí zmizí beze stopy Lisbeth, manželka známého producenta Willyho Barliho, který chystá premiéru muzikálu My Fair Lady, v němž měla jeho žena hrát hlavní roli. A na policii dorazí v obálce useknutý prst. Stojí za Lisbethiným zmizením její manžel, jak tvrdí tzv. Holeův první zákon, anebo někdo jiný? Brzy se ukáže, že policie má co do činění se sériovým vrahem. Dokáže Harry rozluštit vzkazy a symboly, které vrah zanechává na místech činu, a dokáže zabránit dalším vraždám? Přijme nabídku Toma Waalera? A podaří se mu vrátit svůj osobní život k normálu? Harrymu začíná být pořádně horko...

Oddělení vražd čelí záhadě – bodné rány ve tvářích obětí jsou četné, pravidelné, a navíc byly vedeny zevnitř úst. Jaká vražedná zbraň je mohla způsobit? Mladá kriminalistka Kaja Solnessová je vyslána do Hongkongu, aby odsud přivedla zpátky do Osla jediného člověka, který může takový případ vyřešit. Jenže Harry Hole se v milionovém městě skrývá nejen před věřiteli, ale zvláště před vzpomínkami a přízraky z minulých případů a nemá sebemenší zájem se do vlasti vrátit. Kaja se musí uchýlit k citovému vydírání. Vyšetřování pak Harryho zavádí nejen na zasněžené opuštěné pláně v norských horách, nýbrž i do horké Afriky na úpatí sopky. A jde v něm o život. Vrah je silný, chytrý a bezskrupulózní a v souboji s ním bude muset Harry obětovat víc, než čekal.

V jedné bankovní pobočce v centru Osla dostává vedoucí pětadvacet vteřin na to, aby otevřel bankomat, vybral z něj peníze a naházel je do připravené kabely. Limit o šest vteřin překročí. Bankovní lupič ukáže do bezpečnostní kamery šest prstů, zastřelí jednu ze zaměstnankyň a beze stopy se vytratí. Případ dostává na starost Harry Hole, jeden z nejlepších kriminalistů osloské policie, ale zároveň velmi svérázný chlapík, osamělý vlk s neuspořádaným osobním životem a alkoholik, kterému dělá problémy podvolit se jakékoli autoritě. Při vyšetřování mu sekunduje velmi zdatná policejní posila Beáta Lonnová, dcera známého zastřeleného kriminalisty, která zaujala místo Harryho zavražděné kolegyně Ellen Gjeltenové. Krátce po zahájení vyšetřování je ve svém bytě nalezena Harryho dávná láska Anna Bethsenová. Vše nasvědčuje tomu, že spáchala sebevraždu v ten večer, kdy u ní byl Harry na večeři. Téměř vše.
