VYDAL SE NA NEBEZPEČNOU CESTU, ZE KTERÉ MOŽNÁ NENÍ NÁVRATU… Když detektiv Jan Reyna v dětství opouštěl rodné Faerské ostrovy, myslel si, že už je nikdy znovu neuvidí. O několik desítek let později se však neochotně vrací zpět, aby se pokusil zachránit vztah s otcem, stiženým mozkovou mrtvicí, a také aby se vyrovnal s vlastní minulostí. Faerské ostrovy jsou pro něj dávno cizí zemí, jejíž jazyk neovládá a zvyky nezná, přesto se ocitá ve víru vyšetřování vraždy. A nejen to. Zdá se, že případ souvisí právě s jeho otcem, což v Reynovi vyvolává mnoho let potlačované vzpomínky. Navíc musí čelit dvěma nevlastním bratrům, kteří se ze všech sil snaží ochránit pověst rodiny. Reyna stojí před zásadním rozhodnutím – může buď vytrvat a riskovat, že o své minulosti zjistí něco, co se dozvědět nechtěl, nebo může z podivných, větrem bičovaných ostrovů nadobro odjet. Reynovo osudové rozhodnutí změní životy všech jeho blízkých, ale tajemství, které odhalí, už nelze znovu pohřbít… (knihydobrovsky.cz)

POBŘEŽÍ FAERSKÝCH OSTROVŮ JE ZNOVU NEKLIDNÉ… Na Faerské ostrovy přijíždí skupina aktivistů brojících proti lovu velryb a napětí mezi zdejšími obyvateli a protestujícími by se dalo krájet. Jen pár hodin po jedné zvlášť ostré potyčce je navíc objeveno ženské tělo a okolnosti vraždy nasvědčují tomu, že se někdo snaží propast mezi oběma tábory ještě více prohloubit. Policista Hjalti Hentze se pouští do vyšetřování, ale situace se vzápětí výrazně zkomplikuje, protože podezření padne na jeho zetě. Vypadá to, že se za vraždou ukrývají další, zlověstnější motivy, a navíc schází klíčový důkaz. Britský inspektor Jan Reyna se mezitím snaží zjistit víc o minulosti své matky, jenže podobně jako Hentze naráží na jednu překážku za druhou. Ani jeden z nich neví, komu může věřit ani jak daleko jsou někteří lidé schopni ve jménu svého přesvědčení zajít… (knihydobrovsky.cz)

NÁLEZ ČTYŘICET LET POHŘBENÉHO TĚLA PROPOJÍ DVA ZDÁNLIVĚ NESOUVISEJÍCÍ PŘÍPADY… Faerský policista Hjalti Hentze se domnívá, že má poprvé po dlouhé době na stole jasný případ: požár opuštěné farmy, nejspíš omylem založený jejím majitelem, místním opilcem, který se v domě těsně předtím oběsil. Jenže pak jsou na pozemcích objeveny čtyřicet let staré ostatky mladé ženy a zdánlivě jednoduchý případ se začíná komplikovat. Navíc podle všeho souvisí nejen s komunitou, která se na farmě v sedmdesátých letech usadila, ale také se starým únosem a znásilněním místní dívky. Britský inspektor Jan Reyna mezitím pokračuje ve vyšetřování matčiny sebevraždy. Postupem času však zjišťuje, že jsou jeho a Hentzeho případy propojené a oba ukazují na zlověstné tajemství pohřbené po čtyři desetiletí nejen na ostrovech, ale i v Dánsku. Hentze si to uvědomuje také. Stejně jako to, že se Reynovo soukromé vyšetřování začíná měnit v posedlost. Posedlost, která by ho mohla zničit. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

`This book could not have come at a better moment... The People Vs Tech makes clear that there is still time - just - for us to take back control.' - Camilla Cavendish, Sunday Times The internet was meant to set us free.Tech has radically changed the way we live our lives. But have we unwittingly handed too much away to shadowy powers behind a wall of code, all manipulated by a handful of Silicon Valley utopians, ad men, and venture capitalists? And, in light of recent data breach scandals around companies like Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, what does that mean for democracy, our delicately balanced system of government that was created long before big data, total information and artificial intelligence? In this urgent polemic, Jamie Bartlett argues that through our unquestioning embrace of big tech, the building blocks of democracy are slowly being removed. The middle class is being eroded, sovereign authority and civil society is weakened, and we citizens are losing our critical faculties, maybe even our free will.The People Vs Tech is an enthralling account of how our fragile political system is being threatened by the digital revolution. Bartlett explains that by upholding six key pillars of democracy, we can save it before it is too late. We need to become active citizens; uphold a shared democratic culture; protect free elections; promote equality; safeguard competitive and civic freedoms; and trust in a sovereign authority. This essential book shows that the stakes couldn't be higher and that, unless we radically alter our course, democracy will join feudalism, supreme monarchies and communism as just another political experiment that quietly disappeared.

From the author of the New York Times-bestselling and Edgar Award-winning The Expats As dawn approaches in New York, literary agent Isabel Reed is turning the final pages of a mysterious, anonymous manuscript, racing through the explosive revelations about powerful people, as well as long-hidden secrets about her own past. In Copenhagen, veteran CIA operative Hayden Gray, determined that this sweeping story be buried, is suddenly staring down the barrel of an unexpected gun. And in Zurich, the author himself is hiding in a shadowy expat life, trying to atone for a lifetime’s worth of lies and betrayals with publication of The Accident, while always looking over his shoulder. Over the course of one long, desperate, increasingly perilous day, these lives collide as the book begins its dangerous march toward publication, toward saving or ruining careers and companies, placing everything at risk—and everyone in mortal peril. The rich cast of characters—in publishing and film, politics and espionage—are all forced to confront the consequences of their ambitions, the schisms between their ideal selves and the people they actually became. The action rockets around Europe and across America, with an intricate web of duplicities stretching back a quarter-century to a dark winding road in upstate New York, where the shocking truth about the accident itself is buried. Gripping, sophisticated, layered, and impossible to put down, The Accident proves once again that Chris Pavone is a true master of suspense. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

A thought-provoking dissection of the ways in which the production and consumption of food have become harmful to our personal, societal and environmental health Never before have we produced so much food for so many people all around the world. But at what cost to our health and the health of the planet? How much is Big Food responsible for the rise in chronic obesity, diabetes and heart disease? Why do we love to eat junk food so much? Synthetic fertilizers and pesticides have dramatically improved crop yields but many are toxic to humans. Widespread factory farming has led to the adoption of an unhealthy meat-rich diet high in saturated fats and devastated the environment. Many of the hyperpalatable, ultra-processed foods we consume today have little or no nutritional value. This wide-ranging and exploratory volume re-evaluates what we eat and how we eat it; it questions why we choose to eat food that we know is damaging to us; and it considers how we can change our food industry and our food culture.
