    Dalajlámova mačka a sila meditácie
    • Začítajte sa do pôvabného rozprávania múdrej himalájskej mačky a objavte silu meditácie. „Ak ste niekedy pochybovali o tom, či má vaša mačacia spoločníčka svoj vlastný vnútorný svet, tak sa len pozerajte, čo sa deje, keď zaspí a stratí vedomú kontrolu nad svojím fyzickým telom. Určite si všimnete, že sa jej hýbu nohy, chveje sa jej čeľusť, možno niekedy pokrčí ňufák alebo dokonca zamňauká. Mačky naozaj dokážu byť veľmi pozorné a bdelé. Lenže my sme aj mysliace bytosti. A v mojom prípade, žiaľ, mysliace až príliš.“ V treťom pokračovaní série príbehov dalajlámovej mačky sa Jeska (Jej Svätosť mačka) vydá splniť ďalšiu úlohu: naučiť sa meditovať. Budete sledovať cestu jednej nádherne nedokonalej bytosti na ceste k osvieteniu. Spolu s Jeskou sa naučíte nové spôsoby, ako pracovať so svojou mysľou. Spomalíte, nájdete pokoj a objavíte svoju hlbokú prirodzenosť – čistú lásku a súcit. Znova sa stretnete so starými známymi z Dharamsaly, ale v príbehu nebude chýbať ani veľa zaujímavých ľudí (a, samozrejme, aj zvierat), ktorých Jeska stretne, či už v dalajlámovom okolí, alebo medzi návštevníkmi Himalájskej literárnej kaviarne. Dozviete sa napríklad, čo majú blchy spoločné s meditáciou, akého zvieracieho kamaráta má Jeho Svätosť pápež a ako dlho sa vlastne dalajláma pozná s Jeskou. A nájdete aj nejedno nečakané prekvapenie.

      Doktorka Catherine Cordellová je jediná žena, ktorej sa podarilo prežiť útok masového vraha Andrewa Capru. Ten ju najprv znásilnil, no dielo skazy sa mu nepodarilo zavŕšiť – Catherine ho zabila skôr, ako sa stala jeho ďalšou obeťou. Po tomto nešťastí sa presťahuje do Bostonu a snaží sa viesť normálny život. Jej nočná mora sa ale vracia späť – nový vrah s prezývkou „chirurg“ napodobňuje s neuveriteľnou presnosťou svojho predchodcu. Catherine sa tak stáva pre políciu jediným človekom, ktorý je schopný pomôcť pri pátraní po „chirurgovej“ identite. „Chirurg“ sa však každou vraždou dostáva bližšie ku Catherine a spôsob, akým vraždí svoje obete, ju desí. Catherininou jedinou útechou sa stáva detektív Thomas Moore, ktorý je poverený vyšetriť tento prípad. No ani on ju nedokáže ochrániť pred neohroziteľným lovcom, ktorý pozná – a vychutnáva si – strach každej ženy, ktorú zabije...

      Jack Reacher hunts the most elusive and intelligent killer he has ever faced in the latest in "one of the best new series in thriller fiction"( Publishers Weekly ). People say that knowledge is power. The more knowledge, the more power. Suppose you knew the winning numbers for the lottery. What would you do? You would run to the store. You would mark the numbers on the play card. And you would win. Same for the stock market. Same for basketball or the horses or anything. Same for killing people... So begins Running Blind , the electrifying new novel in the acclaimed series featuring ex-military policeman Jack Reacher. Women are dying. Women who have nothing in common except the fact they once worked for the military. And they knew Jack Reacher. How and why these women are in danger completely baffles the elite FBI team working the case. There is no trace evidence. There are no links between the victims. Their bodies have no fatal wounds. And the killer has entered their homes and exited again like a summer breeze. Are these the perfect crimes? There is only one certainty: there is a new kind of killer out there, one so calm, cautious, and careful that even the brilliant Reacher is left running blind. "[Lee Child's novels] bring us not only bang-on suspense but an insightful look into how humans work." -- Houston Chronicle

Especially when he later finds the guy dead, with his fingertips sliced off. Why was he so determined to find him? What does the vicious Wall Street honcho Hook Hobie have to do with it?
