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.

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.

Reacher has to stay one step ahead of the loan sharks, the thugs, and the assassins.

But Reacher believes in a certain kind of justice . . . the kind that comes along once in a blue moon.

Zázračný svet Atlantídy je poslednou knihou trilógie s názvom Záhada pôvodu od autora A. G. Riddleho, ktorá sa stala svetovým bestsellerom. V tretej časti sa doktorke Kate Warnerovej práve podarilo zastaviť globálnu pandémiu, podcenila však vlastnú liečbu. Dostatočne neodhadla ani silu vplyvu atlantídskeho sprisahania. A tak ľudstvo čelí novej hrozbe - nepriateľovi, akého si neviete ani len predstaviť. Čas sa kráti a ľudskej civilizácii hrozí absolútny kolaps. V poslednej chvíli sa však objaví nová nádej, a síce kódovaná správa od možného spojenca. V tom istom čase Mary Caldwellová trávi svoj život čakaním, pozorovaním hviezd a hľadaním známok inteligentného života mimo našej Zeme. Keď sa jej sen konečne splní, Mary sa zrazu ocitá uprostred zápasu, ktorý je starší ako ľudstvo samo. Náhle sa musí rozhodovať, komu môže veriť a komu nie, pretože len tak dokáže zvládnuť najväčšiu výzvu svojho života. V nadväznosti na udalosti z predchádzajúcej knihy Desivý mor Atlantídy sa Dorian Sloane stáva bábkou v rukách Aresa a zároveň nástrojom na vykonanie jeho tajomného plánu. Keď sa však Dorian vzoprie a rozhodne sa prevziať kontrolu nad situáciou, Ares rozpúta drámu, do ktorej zatiahne celý svet. A tak sa postupne odhaľuje skutočný charakter kataklizmy, ktorá ohrozuje ľudstvo. Toto sci-fi dobrodružstvo je treťou a poslednou knihou z akčnej trilógie Záhada pôvodu.

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.
