Adam Chase bol ako chlapec svedkom vecí, aké by dieťa nemalo nikdy zažiť. Hoci trauma, ktorú utrpel, zanechá v jeho vnútri nevyliečiteľné rany, na druhej strane posilní jeho bojovného ducha. Keď len o vlások unikne obvineniu z vraždy a je vyštvaný z milovanej rodinnej farmy, odchádza do sivej anonymity veľkomesta. Po piatich rokoch je však zasa doma – a nik netuší prečo – ani rodina, ani stará láska, nehovoriac o úhlavných nepriateľoch z minulosti. Adam má však svoje dôvody. Stačí niekoľko hodín v rodnom kraji, a prevratné udalosti sa rútia jedna za druhou. Nikto nevie, čo si má myslieť, no keď sa nájde ďalšia obeť vraždy a mŕtvych pribúda, mienka mestečka sa znovu obracia proti jedinému potenciálnemu podozrivému – mladému mužovi s temnou minulosťou. Adam je však bojovník a musí podniknúť všetko, aby dokázal svoju nevinnosť, vyrovnal sa s protivníkmi a konečne mohol žiť po svojom.

Je čas Vianoc, do ktorého rušivo zasiahne brutálna vražda mladej ženy.

Členovia klubu sa snažia preniknúť do podstaty zla. Veria, že temné sily sa môžu zhmotniť do nášho fyzického sveta. Po objave ďalšej obete priamo na prahu Mefistovho klubu sa členovia spolku začínajú právom obávať aj o vlastné životy. Nie sú obe vraždy iba ďalším dôkazom zla, ktoré sa votrelo do nášho sveta z temnôt?

This novel is constructed around the supposition that Winston Churchill secretly met with Adolf Hitler in 1940 to discuss the terms of a British surrender. Forty years later, Hitler's personal minutes of the discussions are threatening to surface.

Frightening, heartbreaking, and exquisitely calibrated, John le Carre's new novel opens with the gruesome murder of the young and beautiful Tessa Quayle near northern Kenya's Lake Turkana, the birthplace of mankind. Her putative African lover and traveling companion, a doctor with one of the aid agencies, has vanished from the scene of the crime. Tessa's much older husband, Justin, a career diplomat at the British High Commission in Nairobi, sets out on a personal odyssey in pursuit of the killers and their motive. A master chronicler of the deceptions and betrayals of ordinary people caught in political conflict, le Carre portrays, in "The Constant Gardener," the dark side of unbridled capitalism. His eighteenth novel is also the profoundly moving story of a man whom tragedy elevates. Justin Quayle, amateur gardener and ineffectual bureaucrat, seemingly oblivious to his wife's cause, discovers his own resources and the extraordinary courage of the woman he barely had time to love. "The Constant Gardener" is a magnificent exploration of the new world order by one of the most compelling and elegant storytellers of our time. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
