Tento román Vás přinutí zeptat se na podstatu zla: Narodíme se s ním, nebo je nám dáno výchovou? Bennie Rosatová vypadá přesně jako její identické dvojče Alice Connelyová, ale temnota v Alicině duši z nich dělá dvě úplně odlišné ženy.Bennie je narozdíl od Alice zodpovědnější a jako úspěšná městská právnička i o mnoho bohatší, což je Alici trnem v oku. Bennie si to uvědomí až ve chvíli, kdy se ocitne zaživa pochovaná rukama svého vlastního dvojčete. Za ten čas Alice převezme sestřin život, vydává se za ni i v práci a dokonce svede jejího přítele, aby unikla smrtonosnému chaosu ve svém vlastním životě. Alice však podcenila Bennie, jako i její odhodlání zůstat naživu tak dlouho, aby se mohla pomstít. Bennie se musí smířit se zvrácenou pravdou, že se Alici podobá víc, než si myslela, a v šokujícím závěru románu se ocitne v bitvě, kterou nemůže vyhrát - sama se sebou. Lisa Scottoline píše strhující thrillery plné emocí s prudkým spádem a živými postavami - i proto je Pochovaná zaživa thrillerem, který Vás doslova pohltí.

David and Cheryl Burroughs are living the dream - married, a beautiful house in the suburbs, a three year old son named Matthew - when tragedy strikes one night in the worst possible way. David awakes to find himself covered in blood, but not his own - his son's. And while he knows he did not murder his son, the overwhelming evidence against him puts him behind bars indefinitely. Five years into his imprisonment, Cheryl's sister arrives - and drops a bombshell. She's come with a photograph that a friend took on vacation at a theme park. The boy in the background seems familiar - and even though David realizes it can't be, he knows it is. It's Matthew, and he's still alive. David plans a harrowing escape from prison, determined to do what seems impossible - save his son, clear his own name, and discover the real story of what happened that devastating night. ______________ Praise for Harlan Coben ...

The most hotly anticipated thriller of 2018 follows our hero Jack Reacher on a quest into his father's past, and climaxes in the most stomach-clenching, hair-raising,blood-curling ticking-time- bomb of an adventure yet. Jack Reacher plans to follow the autumn sun on an epic road trip across America, from Maine to California. He doesn't get far. On a country road deep in the New England woods, he sees a sign to a place he has never been - the town where his father was born. He thinks, what's one extra day? He takes the detour. At the very same moment, close by, a car breaks down. Two young Canadians are trying to get to New York City to sell a treasure. They're stranded at a lonely motel in the middle of nowhere. It's a strange place ... but it's all there is. The next morning in the city clerk's office, Reacher asks about the old family home. He's told no one named Reacher ever lived in that town. He knows his father never went back. Now he wonders, was he ever there in the first place? So begins another nailbiting, adrenaline-fuelled adventure for Reacher. The present can be tense, but the past can be worse. That's for damn sure.

Život detektíva Napoleona Dumasa, zvaného Nap, z predmestia v New Jersey sa navždy zmenil v poslednom ročníku strednej školy. Jeho brata, dvojča Lea, a priateľku Dianu vtedy našli mŕtvych na železničnej trati a Maura, ktorú pokladal za svoju životnú lásku, bez akéhokoľvek vysvetlenia zmizla. Celých pätnásť rokov Nap pátral po Maure a nepodarilo sa mu ani vysvetliť Leovu smrť. Teraz sa zdá, že by napokon predsa len mohol dosiahnuť, po čom tak veľmi túži. V aute podozrivého z vraždy sa nájdu Maurine odtlačky a Nap sa vydáva na tŕnistú cestu za odpoveďami. Tie však vedú len k ďalším otázkam – o milovanej žene, o priateľoch z detstva, o ktorých si myslel, že ich pozná, o opustenej vojenskej základni v meste, kde vyrastal, a najmä o Leovi a Diane, ktorých smrť je možno ešte oveľa temnejšia a desivejšia ako v najhorších predstavách.

Jack Reacher walks alone. Once a go-to hard man in the US military police, now he's a drifter of no fixed abode. But the army tracks him down. Because someone has taken a long-range shot at the French president. Only one man could have done it. And Reacher is the one man who can find him. This new heartstopping, nailbiting book in Lee Child's number-one bestselling series takes Reacher across the Atlantic to Paris - and then to London. The stakes have never been higher - because this time, it's personal.

Na een moeizame tocht vanuit South Dakota is Jack Reacher eindelijk in Virginia aangekomen. Zijn doel: het oude hoofdkwartier van de 110th MP Special Unit – zo ongeveer het enige thuis dat hij ooit gekend heeft. Waarom? Hij wil de nieuwe commandant van de eenheid, majoor Susan Turner, mee uit eten vragen. Hij vond haar stem over de telefoon aantrekkelijk. Maar de officier in het kantoortje van de commandant is geen vrouw. Waar is Susan Turner? Jack Reacher wordt met twee onthutsende zaken geconfronteerd, de ene nogal gewelddadig, de andere te persoonlijk om over na te denken. Krijgt hij – of iemand anders – spijt van zijn besluit om terug te gaan?

Hitching a ride to Virginia in a car with three strangers, Jack Reacher finds himself unwittingly involved in a massive conspiracy that makes him a threat.
