      Písky Sakkáry. Prostá pravda. Zrádný měsíc. Tři přání

      Kniha přináší překlady čtyř úspěšných románů se záhadnou nebo kriminální zápletkou od anglických a amerických autorů. 1. Písky Sakkáry-Glenn Meade: Jack Halder a Harry Weaver se v Egyptě zamilovali do stejné ženy. A potom začala válka. V Káhiře se v roce 1943 koná důležitá schůzka Roosevelta s Churchillem a oba muži se setkávají znovu. Halder jako velitel komanda, které má na Hitlerův rozkaz státníky zlikvidovat, a Weaver jako zpravodajský důstojník, který má atentátu zabránit. 2. Prostá pravda-David Baldacci: Ve Washingtonu je zavražděn mladý soudní úředník Michael Fiske. Zemřel však skutečně jako oběť loupežného přepadení ? Nesouvisí snad jeho smrt s případem, na němž pracoval ? Bratr zavražděného a Michaelova sympatická spolupracovnice se snaží dopátrat pravdy. Někdo jim v tom však chce za každou cenu zabránit. 3. Tři přání-Barbara Delinsky: Servírku Bree Millerovou ve sněhové vánici srazí auto. Jen zázrakem nehodu přežije, z vážných zranění se zcela zotaví... A získá možnost třikrát si něco přát. Ale přání jsou ošemetná věc. Co když se totiž vyplní ? 4. Zrádný měsíc-Michael Connelly: Cassie Blacková v tom má docela jasno. Stačí se vloupat do jednoho hotelového pokoje v Las Vegas a hazardnímu hráči ukrást výhru. Není však krádež jako krádež a Cassii je zanedlouho v patách chladnokrevný zabiják.

    • Svazek obsahuje zkrácené verze čtyř úspěšných románů oddychových žánrů od současných angloamerických autorů. Jednotlivé tituly jsou doplněny stručnými informacemi o jejich tvůrcích. Hrdinou thrilleru „Muž s absolutní pamětí“ Davida baldacciho je Amos Decker, jenž dostal do života danajský dar - hypertrofovanou paměť, schopnou uchovat neuvěřitelné množství informací. Když ho neznámý vrah připraví o ženu a dceru, možná se Amosova anomálie bude hodit. Romantický žánr zastupuje Richard Paul Evans románem „Slib pod jmelím“. Čerstvě rozvedená, osamělá hrdinka je v něm překvapena návrhem neznámého muže předstírat v předvánoční době, že je jeho partnerkou. Kdo ví, k čemu takové předstírání může nakonec vést... „Dokonalé ticho“ anglické autorky Rosamund Luptonové je thriller o putování matky s hluchou dcerou polární krajinou za otcem, který se ztratil při požáru inuitské vesnice na severu Aljašky. Detektivní thriller „Kulka“ od Mary Louise Kellyové pracuje s motivem postupného odhalování doposud skryté záhadné minulosti hlavní hrdinky Caroline Cashionové, ve které se skrývá nevyřešený zločin.

His father, Dan Robie, has been arrested and charged with murder. Father and son haven't spoken or seen each other since the day Robie left town. In that time, Dan Robie -- a local attorney and pillar of the community -- has been elected town judge. Despite this, most of Cantrell is aligned against Dan. His guilt is assumed. To make matters worse, Dan has refused to do anything to defend himself. When Robie tries to help, his father responds only with anger and defiance. Could Dan really be guilty? With the equally formidable Jessica Reel at his side, Robie ignores his father's wishes and begins his own desperate investigation into the case. But Robie is now a stranger to his hometown, an outsider, a man who has forsaken his past and his family. His attempts to save his father are met with distrust and skepticism ... and violence. Unlike the missions Robie undertook in the service of his country, where his target was clearly defined, digging into his father's case only reveals more questions. Robie is drawn into the hidden underside of Cantrell, where he must face the unexpected and possibly deadly consequences of the long-ago choices made by father and son. And this time, there may be no escape for either of them
