Więcej niż szalona opowieść o gangsterach dziewiętnastowiecznej Warszawy. Bagniste brzegi Wisły stają się scenerią nieludzkich i nadludzkich zmagań. Miłośnicy Cormaca McCarthy'ego, Andrieja Płatonowa i Olgi Tokarczuk znajdą tu coś dla siebie – ale Łukasz Stachniak swoim własnym głosem opowiada swoje własne historie. Nie znam nikogo, kto miałby odwagę tak pisać.
Tomasz Piątek
Gęsta, lepka, mroczna epopeja o najciemniejszej stronie miasta. Powiśle Wokulskiego to przy nabrzeżu Stachniaka prawdziwy kurort. Wypada się cieszyć, jeśli straci się tu tylko zęby. Tu dybuki wyciągają duszę przez przełyk. Sypią obrokiem na rany. Uciekaj stąd, póki pora. A potem przeczytaj i dopiero zacznij się bać!

Poznaj tajemnice warszawskiej Wilczej Wyspy. Nie miałeś pojęcia, że ona istniała.
Warszawa, początek XX wieku. Miasto nie jest stolicą, bo i kraju nie ma na mapie. Są za to nędza, przemoc i zgnilizna, także ta moralna. Wśród wiślanych mokradeł majaczy niedostępna i tajemnicza Wilcza Wyspa. Jej mieszkańcy skrywają wiele sekretów. Lepiej się do niej nie zbliżać. To niebezpieczne.
Autor Czarnego charakteru udaje się w swojej najnowszej powieści na warszawskie nabrzeża. Jest onirycznie, mrocznie i niepokojąco. Ta książka, jak mgliste bagno, zaskakuje i wciąga bez reszty.
Miłośnicy Warszawy Gierymskiego, seriali Tabu czy Terror na pewno znajdą tu coś dla siebie.

Pierwszy tom jednej z najlepszych amerykańskich serii komiksowych, w której przenikają się elementy czarnego kryminału i thrillera szpiegowskiego.
Tytułowy Śpioch to tajny agent Holden Carver. Postczłowiek obdarzony niezwykłymi mocami. Jednym dotknięciem umie sprawić, że wszelkie obrażenia, których doznaje w walce, przechodzą na przeciwnika, nie odczuwa bólu, a jego ciało błyskawicznie się goi.
Carver na rozkaz swojego szefa Johna Lyncha przenika w szeregi organizacji przestępczej dowodzonej przez zbrodniczego Mao. Zanim Śpioch ukończy misję, jego przełożony zapada w śpiączkę, a wtedy Carver nie ma wyboru – zostaje podwójnym agentem. Jeśli chce przeżyć, musi pogodzić wykonanie pierwotnego zadania z lojalnością wobec rozpracowywanej grupy.
Album jest dziełem laureatów Nagrody Eisnera: scenarzysty Eda Brubakera („Gotham Central”, „Batman”) i rysownika Seana Phillipsa („Fatale”, „Criminal”).

Two trains Side by side for a brief moment In that moment, a murder Elspeth McGillicuddy is positive she witnessed a man strangling a woman to death. But it was only the merest glimpse through a carriage window as the trains drew parallel. She is the only witness, there are no suspects, and, most importantly, there is no corpse.
Who, apart from her friend Jane Marple, would take her seriously? Never underestimate Miss Marple ‘All crime writers around the globe owe Agatha Christie a massive debt.’Peter James ‘Never a dull moment.’ The Times
An ordinary village A shocking announcement One morning the villagers of Chipping Cleghorn wake to find a strange notice in their papers: ‘A murder is announced and will take place on Friday, October 29th, at Little Paddocks at 6.30pm.’ Suspecting this is just a joke, they gather for some evening entertainment. Then a gunshot is heard. In desperation, the police turn to an old lady whose hobbies are gardening, gossiping – and solving murders.
After all, old ladies know better than anyone exactly what goes on in quiet English villages… Never underestimate Miss Marple ‘The queen of jaw-dropping, heart-stopping twists.’Karen M. McManus ‘Establishes firmly her claim to the throne of detection. The plot is as ingenious as ever… the dialogue both wise and witty; while the suspense is maintained very skilfully until the final revelation.’A.A.
Milne
A letter from beyond the grave One last request An unsolvable crime When Miss Marple receives a letter from the recently deceased millionaire Jason Rafiel, she’s not sure what to make of it. Knowing her deductive skills, he challenges her to solve a crime. If she does so, she will inherit £20,000.
The only problem is that he has failed to mention who was involved, or where, and when the crime was committed. Jane Marple is intrigued. Never underestimate Miss Marple ‘Sorry Poirot, but I’m team Marple every time.
A mind to rival the great Sherlock Holmes – and much handier with a knitting needle – yet patronised and underestimated by those around her, her invisibility is her superpower. That and her uncanny understanding of the darkest depths of human nature . .
A strange house A ghost from the past As soon as she moves into Hillside, Gwenda knows there’s something strange about this house. A sealed room. A hidden door.
The apparition of a young woman being strangled. But strangest of all – this all seems quite familiar. As her friend Jane Marple investigates, the answer seems to lie in a crime committed nearly twenty years ago.
The killer may have gotten away with murder. But Miss Marple is never far behind. Never underestimate Miss Marple ‘Reading a perfectly plotted Agatha Christie is like crunching into a perfect apple: that pure, crisp, absolute satisfaction.
A young woman found murdered A scandal in the making When Mrs Bantry wakes to find a body in her library, there’s only one woman to call: her good friend Jane Marple. But she hasn’t called her old friend for comfort. The body in her library has been murdered and Miss Marple is so very good at solving murders.
Her investigations uncover a scandal far darker than either of them could have imagined, and this time she may be out of her depth. Never underestimate Miss Marple ‘Christie always defied expectations, not only in her legendary twists and reveals, but also in the underestimated detectives she created as her heroes. The villains never see these sleuths coming – and that’s half the fun.’ Leigh Bardugo ‘One of the most ingeniously contrived of all her murder stories.’ Birmingham Post
A movie star A deadly cocktail A murder When glamorous Marina Gregg came to live in St Mary Mead, tongues were sure to wag. But, with a local gossip’s sudden death, has one tongue wagged a bit too much? As the police chase false leads, and two more victims meet untimely ends, Miss Marple starts to ask her own questions. What secrets might link a peaceful English village and a star of the silver screen? Never underestimate Miss Marple ‘Christie’s ingenious plots and fiendish twists set the bar for all of us who follow in her footsteps.’Ruth Ware ‘The pieces finally drop into place with a satisfying click.’ Times Literary Supplement
A malicious letter A tragic death A village filled with suspects Nothing ever happens in the sleepy village of Lymstock. Until letters accusing the villagers of unspeakable acts start to appear. They try to dismiss them as a cruel hoax, but then one of the recipients is found dead.
The letter next to her body reads simply, ‘I can’t go on’. As fear spreads among the villagers, Jane Marple must uncover who is writing these letters – before anyone else is hurt. Never underestimate Miss Marple ‘Miss Marple is one of the most subversive, the most original, most distinctive characters in fiction.
Often underestimated and overlooked, she always triumphs in the end.’Kate Mosse ‘Beyond all doubt the puzzle in The Moving Finger is fit for experts.’ The Times
A weekly dinner party Ten amateur sleuths The Tuesday Night Club murders On a quiet Tuesday in St Mary Mead, a group of friends gather for dinner. A policeman, a clergyman, a solicitor, an author, an artist, and an unassuming lady with a shrewd gaze – Miss Jane Marple. Conversation naturally turns to crime.
Each recounts a seemingly unsolvable mystery. Each thinks they know the answer. But it’s the one they least expect who understands the true nature of each wicked act… Never underestimate Miss Marple ‘Billions of readers can’t be wrong.’Dreda Say Mitchell ‘The plots are so good that one marvels.
A shocking crime A mansion filled with suspects Ruth Van Rydock can’t shake the feeling that something terrible is going to happen to her sister at Stonygates house. Her old school friend Jane Marple decides it’s time to pay a visit. But this grand Victorian mansion isn’t just a family home – it’s also a correctional facility for wayward young men.
And when something terrible does indeed happen, Miss Marple must face her most eccentric cast of suspects yet. Never underestimate Miss Marple ‘If a genius is someone who leaves the field they work in totally different from how they found it, then we should certainly remember Agatha Christie as a genius.’Stephen Fry ‘No one on either side of the Atlantic does it better.’ New York Times
There’s more than petty theft going on in a London youth hostel… An outbreak of kleptomania at a student hostel was not normally the sort of crime that aroused Hercule Poirot’s interest. But when he saw the list of stolen and vandalized items – including a stethoscope, some old flannel trousers, a box of chocolates, a slashed rucksack and a diamond ring found in a bowl of soup – he congratulated the warden, Mrs Hubbard, on a ‘unique and beautiful problem’. The list made absolutely no sense at all.
But, reasoned Poirot, if this was merely a petty thief at work, why was everyone at the hostel so frightened?
What secrets lie in the past? Fifteen years ago, during the Great War, Louise Leidner’s first husband was tried as a spy, sentenced to death, and then escaped, only to die in a train crash. So how is he sending her death threats from beyond the grave? Death threats upon which someone has followed through. Only the world’s greatest detective can uncover the truth.
A dentist lies murdered at his Harley Street practice… The dentist was found with a blackened hole below his right temple. A pistol lay on the floor near his outflung right hand. Later, one of his patients was found dead from a lethal dose of local anaesthetic.
A clear case of murder and suicide. But why would a dentist commit a crime in the middle of a busy day of appointments? A shoe buckle holds the key to the mystery. Now – in the words of the rhyme – can Poirot pick up the sticks and lay them straight?
Car brakes failA boulder missesAccidents? Or not? On holiday in Cornwall, Poirot meets a pretty young woman with an unusual name, ‘Nick’ Buckley. Upon discovering a bullet-hole in Nick’s sun hat, the great detective decides the girl needs his protection. He also begins to unravel the mystery of a murder that hasn’t been committed.
Yet.
The very first collection of superb short stories featuring Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings... First there was the mystery of the film star and the diamond then came the suicide that was murder the mystery of the absurdly chaep flat a suspicious death in a locked gun-room a million dollar bond robbery the curse of a pharoahs tomb a jewel robbery by the sea the abduction of a Prime Minister the disappearance of a banker a phone call from a dying man and, finally, the mystery of the missing willl. What links these fascinating cases? Only the brilliant deductive powers of Hercule Poirot!
Captain Hastings recounts 18 of Poirot’s early cases from the days before he was famous… Hercule Poirot delighted in telling people that he was probably the best detective in the world. So turning back the clock to trace eighteen of the cases which helped establish his professional reputation was always going to be a fascinating experience. With his career still in its formative years, the panache with which Hercule Poirot could solve even the most puzzling mystery is obvious.
Chronicled by his friend Captain Hastings, these eighteen early cases – from theft and robbery to kidnapping and murder – were all guaranteed to test Poirot’s soon-to-be-famous ‘little grey cells’ to their absolute limit.
An elderly stroke victim dies without having arranged a will… Beautiful young Elinor Carlisle stood serenely in the dock, accused of the murder of Mary Gerrard, her rival in love. The evidence was damning: only Elinor had the motive, the opportunity and the means to administer the fatal poison. Yet, inside the hostile courtroom, only one man still presumed Elinor was innocent until proven guilty: Hercule Poirot was all that stood between Elinor and the gallows…
A ruthless international cartel seeks world domination… Framed in the doorway of Poirot’s bedroom stood an uninvited guest, coated from head to foot in dust. The man’s gaunt face stared for a moment, then he swayed and fell. Who was he? Was he suffering from shock or just exhaustion? Above all, what was the significance of the figure 4, scribbled over and over again on a sheet of paper? Poirot finds himself plunged into a world of international intrigue, risking his life to uncover the truth about ‘Number Four’.
