Mark B. Mills Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

Vtipný román o vytváraní puta medzi psom a jeho majiteľom. Môže byť najlepší priateľ človeka aj jeho strážnym anjelom? Hovorí sa, že pes je najlepší priateľ človeka. Máte aj vy takého? Ak nie, nech sa páči, zoznámte sa… (Hoci jeho majiteľ si o ňom spočiatku myslí čosi úplne iné.) Volá sa Peso, je škaredý, biely, takmer bezsrstý a nesmierne vzdorovitý. Vyzerá akoby vpálil hlavou do múru a vykašľal sa na plastickú operáciu. Jednoducho tej krásy príliš nepodedil, chudák. Dan, autor reklamných sloganov a komiksov, nie je padavka, ale ani agresívny snaživec. Rád jazdí pomaly, na mobile lúšti sudoku a nový sveter si kúpi až vtedy, keď obnosí ten starý. Už štyri roky žije s Clarou a je šťastný. Jedného dňa ho však Clara znenazdajky opustí, nechá mu len dlhý list plný obvinení a, samozrejme… Pesa, ktorého nikdy nemal rád. A tak Dan, ktorý je už niekoľko týždňov bez práce, prichádza ešte aj o priateľku, a na krku mu ostane vzdorovitý pes, ktorého nikdy nechcel. Lenže zbaviť sa ho nie je až také ľahké. Rozhodne sa, že mu nájde nový domov, ale každý vie, ako to väčšinou dopadne, keď má človek tie najlepšie úmysly. Navyše sa ukáže, že Peso je vskutku nezvyčajný štvornohý kamarát... a jedna veľká inšpirácia. Práve toto škaredé psie stvorenie vnáša do príbehu veľkú radosť a potešenie.

A riveting and evocative tale of passion and murder, set on the French Riviera in the 1930s, from the No. 1 bestselling author of The Savage Garden.

Mark Mills's bestselling novels have garnered acclaim for their unique blend of suspense. In this riveting tale set in summer 1942, Malta, the most bombed place on earth, faces relentless Axis air raids. The resilient Maltese people endure as Max Chadwick, a British officer, manipulates news to maintain their morale. With only a few fighter planes to defend against a potential Nazi occupation, the stakes are high. When Max discovers the brutal murder of a young woman, allegedly committed by a British officer, he realizes that the Maltese's loyalty to the war effort is at risk. As the threat of invasion looms, Max must investigate the murder discreetly, navigating the scrutiny of superiors, friends, and the woman he loves. The narrative is rich with poignant details of life under siege and features indelible characters. This taut thriller captivates with its exceptional skill and style, immersing readers in a world of tension and emotional depth.

Set in Italy in 1958, 'The Savage Garden' is the story of two unsolved murders - one committed in the late Renaissance, the other in 1944, during the dying days of the German army's occupation.
