Šestnásťročná Starr Carterová žije v dvoch svetoch: býva v chudobnej černošskej štvrti a navštevuje snobskú strednú školu na predmestí. Krehkú rovnováhu medzi nimi naruší večer, keď sa stane svedkyňou streľby, pri ktorej policajný dôstojník pripraví o život jej najlepšieho priateľa z detstva Khalila. Khalil v čase vraždy pri sebe nemal zbraň. Jeho smrť zakrátko upúta pozornosť celoštátnych médií. Niektoré ho opíšu ako grázla, iné ako drogového dílera a gangstra. Starrina najlepšia kamarátka zo školy dokonca naznačí, že si zomrieť zaslúžil. Keď sa ukáže, že polícia nemá záujem prípad vyriešiť, ulice zaplnia demonštranti a černošská štvrť sa zmení na vojnovú zónu. Všetkých zaujíma, čo sa v osudný večer skutočne stalo. Odpoveď pozná iba Starr. No čokoľvek, čo sa rozhodne (alebo nerozhodne) prezradiť, môže zničiť jej rodinu a ohroziť jej život. Strhujúci debutový román Angie Thomasovej o obyčajnom dievčati v neobyčajnej situácii inteligentne, citlivo a s neochvejnou úprimnosťou zobrazuje problém rasizmu a policajnej brutality.
Robert Crais ( Free Fall , Monkey's Raincoat ) returns with his eighth Elvis Cole mystery, L.A. Requiem , a breakneck caper that leaves the wise-cracking detective second-guessing himself. Cole's partner, the tight-lipped, charm-free Joe Pike, gets a call from his friend Frank "Tortilla" Garcia. Not only is Garcia a wealthy businessman, he's a political heavyweight and father of Karen, Joe's ex. Frank sends the gumshoe duo out to find his girl, but the boys are beaten to the punch by the men in blue: Karen is found in a park with a bullet in her brain. The two stay on the case, but when another murder points to Pike as a suspect, things take a turn for the worse. The boys on the force are all too willing to put Pike away -- he has a checkered past. When Cole attempts to save Pike, he finds a lot more than he bargained for.

Fascinujúci román o sláve, láske, hudbe a o tom, čo sa stane, keď sa šťastie pominie a zhasnú reflektory. Daisy Jones & The Six je príbeh raketového vzostupu rockovej kapely, ktorej hudba charakterizovala jednu éru a ktorej náhly rozpad vyvolal množstvo nezodpovedaných otázok. Pripravte sa na bláznivý, nezabudnuteľný výlet do Los Angeles 70. rokov, sex, drogy a rock and roll! Len čo sa úspešná rocková kapela The Six spojila so začínajúcou speváčkou Daisy Jonesovou, vypuklo hotové šialenstvo. Ich piesne ovládli hitparády, ich albumy zneli z každého gramofónu, ich koncerty po celej krajine boli beznádejne vypredané. A potom, 12. júla 1979, sa z ničoho nič rozpadli. Nikto netušil prečo. Až doteraz. Ich vzťahy boli divoké rovnako ako ich hudba – boli priateľmi, milencami, bratmi aj rivalmi. Sami neverili tomu, aké mali šťastie, kým oň neprišli. Táto kniha zachytáva príbeh ich začiatkov i búrlivých nocí, ale každý z nich si pravdu pamätá trochu inak. Jediné, čo všetci vedia s istotou, je fakt, že od chvíle, keď Daisy Jones bosá vystúpila na pódium v klube Whisky, kapela sa navždy zmenila. Pri tvorbe hudby totiž nikdy nejde iba o hudbu. A niekedy môže byť veľmi ťažké určiť, kde sa končí melódia a začínajú sa city.
