Mickey Gibson, alleenstaande moeder en voormalige detective, leidt een hectisch leven waarin ze de eisen van haar twee kleine kinderen combineert met haar werk voor ProEye, een wereldwijd onderzoeksbedrijf dat rijke belasting- en kredietfraudeurs opspoort. Wanneer Mickey een telefoontje krijgt van een collega met een ongebruikelijk verzoek om de leegstaande woning van een wapenhandelaar te inventariseren, denkt ze er niet veel van. Tot ze bij het landhuis aankomt en een lijk in een geheime kamer ontdekt—en dat niets is zoals het lijkt. De wapenhandelaar blijkt niet te bestaan en het slachtoffer is Harry Lancaster, een man met banden met de maffia die ooit in het getuigenbeschermingsprogramma zat. Bovendien werkt er niemand met de naam Arlene Robinson bij ProEye.

Al snel is Gibson verwikkeld in een strijd van verstand met een briljante vrouw zonder naam, een verborgen verleden en onbekende motieven—wiens einddoel net zo mysterieus als dodelijk is.

By his 18th birthday David Millar was living and racing in France, sleeping in rented rooms, tipped to be the next English-speaking Tour winner. A year later he'd realised the dream and signed a professional contract with the Cofidis team, who had one Lance Armstrong on their books. He perhaps lived the high life a little too enthusiastically -- high on a roof after too much drink , he broke his heel in a fall, and before long the pressure to succeed had tipped over into doping. Here, in a full and frank autobiography, David Millar recounts the story from the inside: he doped because 'cycling's drug culture was like white noise', and because of peer pressure. 'I doped for money and glory in order to guarantee the continuation of my status.' Five years on from his arrest, Millar is clean and reflective, and holds nothing back in this account of his dark years.

He needs to help her. Even worse, the more Robie learns about the girl, the more he's convinced she is at the center of a vast cover-up, one that may explain her parents' deaths and stretch to unimaginable levels of power. Now, Robie may have to step out of the shadows in order to save this girl's life . . . and perhaps his own.

Prišlo nás deväť, aby sme spoločne zmarili plány Mogadoráncov na ovládnutie Zeme. Z času na čas ma však prepadnú pochybnosti. Nezmenili sme sa? Všetci ešte veríme v naše poslanie? Ako to mám vedieť?

Je jedným z najobľúbenejších športovcov histórie a jedným z najtalentovanejších tenistov, ktorí kedy vyšli na kurt. No Andre Agassi od raného detstva tento šport neznášal. V strhujúcej autobiografii nám rozpráva príbeh o živote plnom konfliktov, o živote balansujúcom medzi nutkaním k sebadeštrukcii a snahou o dokonalosť. Agassi nás núti prežívať stres, v ktorom ako malý, sedemročný chlapec z Vegas musel denne trénovať pod prísnym dohľadom svojho násilníckeho otca. Vidíme ho ako trinásť ročného, keď musí odísť na Floridu do akadémie, v ktorej sa cíti ako vo vezení. Agassi šokuje svet aj seba, keď v roku 1992 vyhráva Wimbledon. Cez noc sa stáva miláčikom fanúšikov aj mediálnym terčom. Vďaka svižnému tempu a drsnej úprimnosti si Open vychutnajú aj tí čitatelia, ktorí o tenise nevedia celkom nič. Tak ako Agassiho hra, aj jeho biografia vymedzuje nové štandardy pôvabu, štýlu, rýchlosti a sily.

Bubbly, rich, delicate and delightful, the champagne of the famous House of Peine is everything that Clementine Peine is not. She lost her sparkle, along with the love of her life many years before, and now she's lost her miserable papa too. Still, at least now the precious House is hers. Or is it? First her wicked sister Mathilde returns, determined to poison the future the same way she poisoned the past. Then, out of the blue, a third sister appears - the enchanting but equally unwelcome young Sophie - claiming their surname and causing ancient family rivalries, long-ago love affairs and forgotten scandals to come bubbling to the surface. The glory days Clementine has dreamed of for so long have never seemed further away. But as her cherished grapes must blossom and blend to reinvent themselves and become something truly magnificent - so must she. Only then can the House of Peine become a House of Joy.

Keď sa tulák a povaľač Jacop Lišiak večer 10. septembra 1260 šplhal na jabloň kolínskeho arcibiskupa, netušil, že o niekoľko minút nebude jeho život hoden ani deravého groša. Strom stál na nešťastie na dohľad od nového kostola, ktorého základy sa práve dvíhali do výšky. A práve toto sväté dielo, nový kolínsky dóm, malo sa stať javiskom strašného zločinu. Jacop videl staviteľa chrámu Gerharda Morarta, ako sa osamelý prechádza po lešení, keď vtom za ním akoby odnikiaľ vyrástla obrovská tieňová postava. Vzápätí zaznel prenikavý výkrik, Gerhard sa zrútil do hĺbky a Jacop od úľaku spadol zo stromu. Jediný videl, čo sa stalo. Lenže aj vrah zbadal jeho. Unikol len o vlások. Strašnou smrťou však umrel každý, komu o vražde povedal – a Lišiakovi bolo jasné, že tentoraz bol v nesprávnom čase na nesprávnom mieste. Román Smrť a diabol sa zakladá na skutočnosti. Majster Gerhard, geniálny staviteľ kolínskeho dómu, naozaj spadol z výškového lešenia za okolností, ktoré neboli bližšie objasnené. Tento záhadný pád prerástol na povesť. Podľa nej sa Gerhard zrútil, lebo prehral stávku s diablom. Frank Schätzing prebral z dávneho príbehu to najzaujímavejšie. Jeho spisovateľský debut Smrť a diabol tlač vysoko vychválila a okamžite sa stal bestsellerom. Zriedkakedy je totiž stredovek taký nádherne farebný, vtipný, tajomný – a taký napínavý.

"Alice, a young but powerful Dark Other, attends a planning meeting with her comrades in the Day Watch. The team is on a mission to apprehend an uninitiated Other, a practicing Dark witch who has so far eluded the bureax responsible for finding and initiating unlicensed practitioners of magic. It seems routine, but when they arrive, the Night Watch team has already made the arrest. A fierce battle ensures, during which Alice almost dies. Drained of her powers, she is sent to recuperate near the black Sea. There she meets Igor, the chemistry between them is instant and irresistible ... Then comes the realisation: Igor owes his allegiance to the Light, Alice to the Dark. There is no alternative to a magical duel, a battle that neither of them wants to win."--Publisher description.

Others. They walk among us. Observing. Set in contemporary Moscow, where shape shifters, vampires, and street-sorcerers linger in the shadows, Night Watch is the first book of the hyper-imaginative fantasy pentalogy from best-selling Russian author Sergei Lukyanenko. This epic saga chronicles the eternal war of the “Others,” an ancient race of humans with supernatural powers who must swear allegiance to either the Dark or the Light. The agents of the Dark – the Night Watch – oversee nocturnal activity, while the agents of the Light keep watch over the day. For a thousand years both sides have maintained a precarious balance of power, but an ancient prophecy has decreed that a supreme Other will one day emerge, threatening to tip the scales. Now, that day has arrived. When a mid-level Night Watch agent named Anton stumbles upon a cursed young woman – an uninitiated Other with magnificent potential – both sides prepare for a battle that could lay waste to the entire city, possible the world. With language that throbs like darkly humorous hard-rock lyrics about blood and power, freedom and responsibility, Night Watch is a chilling, cutting-edge thriller, a pulse-pounding ride of fusion fiction that will leave you breathless for the next instalment.

"Hot on JK's heels" The Mail On Sunday "A genius at work" The Daily Mirror "First in a series of successes" The Sunday Post Carol was one of the millions of people who played the 'Dragon Tamers' virtual reality computer game. Along with her partner, a dragon called Sam, she managed to become the strongest player in the game.

As a strange monster destroys areas of the game, the trio of humans and their partners set out to find this creature and defeat him, and in doing so save the game world.

When the Metropolitan Police fail to realise a serial killer is at work, London ignites over the fact that the killer's victims are young black and mixed race boys. Institutionalised racism is claimed by the community's activists and tabloids alike. Acting Superintendent Thomas Lynley is given the case, and his Scotland Yard task force is soon handling more killings and a looming tragedy. Elizabeth George brings to the familiar subject of the serial killer a freshness and clarity of vision that provide illuminating insight into the psychological complexity of the tortured criminal mind. She does so within a richly textured, thrillingly suspenseful narrative that defies any reader to predict its outcome. Nor does she neglect our favourite characters, whose private lives provide an engrossing counterpoint to their professional duties.

Ústredným motívom knihy, ktorá sa ako niť vinie celým jej obsahom, je wimbledonské finále 2008 medzi Rafom a Rogerom Federerom, o ktorom John McEnroe vyhlásil, že to bola ,,najväčšia dvojhra v tenisovej histórii". Pravda, nie je to iba o jednom súboji. Rafa odhaľuje tajomstvá svojich úspechov od detstva, keď sa bolestivo rozhodoval, akú športovú kariéru si zvoliť. Či dať prednosť kolektívnemu futbalu, alebo individuálnemu tenisu. Je to až nečakane úprimná spoveď nevídaného bojovníka na dvorci a nesmierne priateľského, rodinne založeného džentlmena v súkromí, ktorý doposiaľ vládol 102 týždňov svetovému tenisu a má na celom svete tisícky obdivovateľov. Je to príbeh ostrovana z Malorky, ktorý svojím tenisom ohúril svet a zaujímavo o tom rozpráva.
