You've lost your job as a department store lingerie buyer, your car's been repossessed, and most of your furniture and small appliances have been sold off to pay last month's rent. Now the rent is due again. And you live in New Jersey. What do you do? If you're Stephanie Plum, you become a bounty hunter. But not just a nickel-and-dime bounty hunter; you go after the big money. That means a cop gone bad. And not just any cop. She goes after Joe Morelli, a disgraced former vice cop who is also the man who took Stephanie's virginity at age 16 and then wrote details on a bathroom wall. With pride and rent money on the line, Plum plunges headlong into her first case, one that pits her against ruthless adversaries - people who'd rather kill than lose. In Stephanie Plum, Evanovich has created a resourceful and humorous character who stands apart from the pack of gritty female detectives.

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.

From the bestelling author of GIRL IN HYACINTH BLUE, "A vivid exploration of one of the most beloved Renoir paintings in the world, done with a flourish worthy of Renoir himself" (USA Today) With her richly textured novels, Susan Vreeland has offered pioneering portraits of artists' lives. As she did in Girl in Hyacinth Blue, Vreeland focuses on a single painting, Auguste Renoir's instantly recognizable masterpiece, which depicts a gathering of Renoir's real friends enjoying a summer Sunday on a café terrace along the Seine. Narrated by Renoir and seven of the models, the novel illuminates the gusto, hedonism, and art of the era. With a gorgeous palette of vibrant, captivating characters, Vreeland paints their lives, loves, losses, and triumphs so vividly that "the painting literally comes alive" (The Boston Globe).

Je čas Vianoc, do ktorého rušivo zasiahne brutálna vražda mladej ženy. Kuriózne satanistické symboly na mieste činu a latinský nápis "Zhrešil som" tvoria rébus, aký bostonskí policajti nikdy dosiaľ neriešili. Netrvá dlho, kým súdna lekárka Maura Islesová a detektívka Jane Rizzoliová odhalia stopu vedúcu od obete ku kontroverznej psychiatričke Joyce O´Donnellovej, známej sympatiami k páchateľom najzávažnejších trestných činov, ktorá je členkou tajomného spoločenstva s názvom Mefistov klub. 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?
