Louise Welsh Knihy

Zhýralý starožitník Rilke nájde v tajnej pracovni veľkého domu škandalózne erotické fotografie. Rozhodne sa vypátrať ich pôvodcu, no zapletie sa do siete podozrivých obchodov so ženami, pornografiou a smrťou. Pri putovaní dekadentným podsvetím veľkomesta spoznáva panoptikum postáv s bizarnými osudmi a vášňami, ale najmä sám seba. Úspešný román je silným príbehom o hľadaní identity, trilerom, oslavou dandizmu a sexuality, no predovšetkým prvotriednou súčasnou literatúrou.

'Illusionist und Magier' nennt sich William Wilson, und er ist ein guter Zauberer, auch wenn seine Kunst gerade nicht gefragt ist. Aber ist er wirklich gut genug für den Kugeltrick? 'Der Kugeltrick' ist ein großartiger Thriller, in dem Louise Welsh den verblichenen Glamour der kleinen Varietétheater heraufbeschwört, die Leser in die schäbigen Kneipen Glasgows, in die Clubs von Soho, die Berliner Hinterhöfe mitnimmt und den dramatischen inneren Konflikt eines Mannes erzählt, der mit einer Schuld kämpft, die er unschuldig auf sich geladen hat.

Longlisted for the Theakstons Old Peculiar Crime Novel of the Year Magnus McFall was a comic on the brink of his big break when the world came to an end. Now, he is a man on the run and there is nothing to laugh about. Thrown into unwilling partnership with an escaped convict, Magnus flees the desolation of London to make the long journey north, clinging to his hope that the sickness has not reached his family on their remote Scottish island. He finds himself in a landscape fraught with danger, fighting for his place in a world ruled by men, like his fellow traveller Jeb - practical men who do not let pain or emotions interfere with getting the job done. This is a world with its own justice, and new rules. Where people, guns and food are currency. Where survival is everything. Death is a Welcome Guest defies you to put it down, and leaves you with questions that linger in the mind long after you read the last page.
