A rollicking tale of the 1970s Detroit criminal underworld from legendary crime writer Elmore Leonard
‘The Ten Golden Rules for Successful Armed Robbery’ if rigidly adhered to will catapult two trainee robbers—Frank and Stick—into Detroit’s criminal elite. But for how long can they maintain the Rules’ austere discipline as the lurid, fun temptations pile up?
From America's top writer of hardboiled crime, the novel that became Tarantino's hit film JACKIE BROWN
An air hostess doing the Caribbean-Florida run, Jackie also uses her job to shift large amounts of hot money. The Feds are closing in on her and the highly dysfunctional arms-dealers she works for are not getting any more functional. It would involve huge risks, but could she perhaps walk away from the whole wreckage, happy and rich?
ARE YOU READY TO BE A DETECTIVE?
In this choose-your-own-story murder mystery, at the end of every chapter, YOU choose what to do next...
You arrive at Elysium, a wellness retreat in an English country manor, to investigate a murder. You find the body of a local businessman on the lawn – with a rose placed in his mouth. What will you do next?
You examine the body and learn he was stabbed with a gardening fork and fell to his death from the balcony above. But that balcony can only be accessed through a locked door - and the key is missing.
Everyone in Elysium is now a suspect, but who will you interview first? Will you examine the balcony, or interview the suspects? Every decision you make has consequences - and and some of them will prove fatal…
Do you have what it takes? Can YOU solve the murder?
Experience a gripping new type of story, unlike anything you’ve read before, from Antony Johnston, award-winning crime author and veteran games writer.
ONCE UPON A TIME LIKE YOU'VE NEVER READ IT BEFORE . . .
DI Lyla Rondell is on the case of a lifetime. Tasked with investigating a series of perplexing deaths, the only lead she has is that each appears to be based on a different classic fairy tale. Far from the stuff of bedtime stories, the press is having a field day with what they have named the Grimm Ripper Murders.
But as the bodies stack up, Lyla’s whole world is about to flip on its head. Because the killer’s bloody trail stretches deep into her own origin story, and when she discovers the truth, nothing will ever be the same again.
Faced with the fact that everything she knows is fiction, Lyla will have to take a little creative license of her own if she’s going to turn the final page on the killings . . .

The clock is ticking, and their survival window is rapidly closing.
However, the impending disaster raises questions – is the town’s vulnerability a natural occurrence, or is there a more human element at work?

Teacher, mother, wife, and all-around good citizen Ellen is juggling non-stop commitments, from raising a teen and two toddlers to job-hunting, and renovating her dream home.
Amidst the chaos, a note arrives in the mail declaring:
Sooner or later everyone sits down to a banquet of consequences.
Ellen has no idea why someone would send this to her. She tells the occasional white lie, has a sharp tongue now and again, but she’s done nothing to incur the wrath of an anonymous enemy.
As she races to discover who’s set on destroying her life, Ellen receives more threatening messages, each one hitting closer to home and everything that she cherishes.
She thinks it was murder.
But if she can’t trust herself, can anyone else?
Nancy North and her boyfriend Felix are making the move across London to Harlesden. A new flat, a new area, a new start. Because while Nancy is fine now, she wasn’t fine before. But settling into the new flat and meeting the new neighbours isn’t helped by Felix’s hovering concern. She is all right. She is sticking to her breathing exercises and doctor-prescribed help.
So, when their new neighbour Kira Mullan is found dead by suicide, Felix is understandably worried about Nancy’s frame of mind. But Nancy saw Kira the day before she died and she didn’t strike her as someone who was suicidal – she was upset and angry, yes, but was she upset and angry enough to take her own life?
Nancy is the only one convinced that there’s more to Kira’s death than has been discovered. But all the police and the neighbours see is a vulnerable woman who isn’t sure of what she saw, and might even be imagining things . . .
Called to Washington, DC to analyse the victims of a mysterious arson attack, Tempe quickly finds her misgivings justified. The fire site is in Foggy Bottom, a neighbourhood with a colourful history, and as the pieces start falling into place, the property’s ownership becomes more and more suspicious.
Sensing a good story, Tempe teams up with a new ally, telejournalist Ivy Doyle. Delving into the past, the duo learns that back in the Thirties and Forties the home was the hangout of a group of bootleggers and racketeers known as the Foggy Bottom Gang. Though interesting, this fact seems irrelevant – until the son of one of the gang members is shot dead at his farm in Virginia.
When another Foggy Bottom Gang-linked property burns to the ground, claiming one more victim, what might have been coincidence starts to look more like targeted attacks. As she and Ivy dig deeper, Tempe’s instincts point towards the obvious: somehow, her every move since coming to Washington has been anticipated in advance. And every path forward brings with it a lethal threat.
Niektórym ludziom zabijanie sprawia przyjemność, są też mordercy, którzy w swoim schizofrenicznym świecie słyszą nakaz aby zabić, wykonać polecenie według zaplanowanego klucza… Tym razem komisarz Wiktor Trak ściga wyrafinowanego zabójcę. Metody stosowane przez śledczego są niekonwencjonalne, odbiegają od powszechnie przyjętych w policji, co spotyka się z krytyką zwierzchników. Być może nikt nie jest bez winy…
W „Farmerze”, podobnie jak poprzednio w „Daltoniście” oraz „Słudze”, ukazana została postać bezwzględnego mordercy, którego patologiczny umysł planuje kolejne zbrodnicze akty. Czy mogą zaistnieć okoliczności, w których my także przejdziemy na ciemną stronę mocy? Na to pytanie odpowiedzcie sobie sami. „Farmer” to kolejna książka z komisarzem Wiktorem Trakiem, który prowadzi, jak zwykle, skomplikowane i intrygujące śledztwo. Razem z aspirantką Natalią podążają śladami nieuchwytnego mordercy, a im bliżej są rozwiązania zagadki, tym bardziej sytuacja komplikuje się. Śmierć chirurga i tajemniczy pożar to dopiero początek historii… „Kiedy we wszechświecie zostajesz tylko Ty i książka, znaczy, że jest wyśmienita. W „Farmerze” znalazłam mój ulubiony mix. Wątek kryminalny, wątek psychologiczny i wątek miłosny. Oj, działo się, no i zapomniałam o Bożym świecie”. Beata Świętochowska, recenzentka
Jeśli macie ochotę na historie z angażującą fabułą, to "Opowiadania z trupem w tle" będą dobrym wyborem, ponieważ treść książki raczej was nie zawiedzie. Polecam z czystym sumieniem. Głównie dlatego, że zauroczył mnie sam pomysł, jak i warsztat autora, który jest naprawdę na najwyższym poziomie. Czyta się tak przyjemnie, że nie zważa się na mijający czas. Bohaterowie są przedstawieni w bardzo realistyczny sposób. Nie są wyidealizowani, co sprawia, że da się ich polubić. Ta książka, to rzeczywisty obraz dzisiejszego świata i przedstawienie tego, jak można zapętlić się we własnych sekretach. Mroczne, misternie wykreowane historie nie pozbawione uroku, wyszukanego języka, bogatego w środki wyrazu, refleksji nad życiem i problemami tego świata, z zaskakującym zakończeniem.

Śmierć jest jak podatki – nieuchronna, a Leon Durka za sprawą tej antologii rozkłada ją na czynniki pierwsze. Każde z tych opowiadań pod śmiercionośną warstwą skrywa w sobie głębszy sens, ale też pozwala dotrzeć w najczarniejsze zakamarki psychiki. Dajcie się porwać temu zaskakującym studium ludzkiej natury, by odkryć drzemiące w człowieku pokłady zła. Nie zwlekajcie! Mroczny żniwiarz już czeka za rogiem...

Zimą 1978 roku świat był bliski końca. Śnieg przykrył ziemię grubą warstwą, a niektórzy twierdzili, że nawet piekło zamarzło. Tymczasem ono właśnie wtedy się obudziło. W maleńkiej wsi położonej u stóp Karkonoszy podporucznik Jan Ryś spędza pierwsze od dawna Boże Narodzenie w gronie najbliższych. Świąteczną sielankę przerywa atak zimy, odcinając malutką osadę od świata. Skazana na porażkę walka z bezwzględnymi siłami natury schodzi jednak na drugi plan, gdy na środku wsi zostaje znalezione ciało młodej dziewczyny. W obliczu zbrodni budzą się dawne animozje, głęboko skrywane lęki i tajemnice, które nigdy nie powinny ujrzeć światła dziennego.
Czy niedoświadczony milicjant będzie w stanie udźwignąć ciężar wytropienia mordercy? Ile prawdy jest w powtarzanej przez starszych mieszkańców legendzie, że wieś nawiedziła Mara, demon mrozu i śmierci, który już niegdyś zebrał krwawe żniwo? Czterdzieści lat po tamtych wydarzeniach policjanci z Archwium X wzywają emerytowanego Jana Rysia na przesłuchanie dotyczące zbrodni z 1978 roku, tym samym budząc uśpione demony.
Michał Śmielak kolejny raz buduje duszną atmosferę małej społeczności, pokazując, że zło nigdy nie śpi…
On his father's death, David Balfour visits an estranged uncle to claim his inheritance. But scheming, grasping Ebenezer Balfour wants David out of the picture and has him put on a ship bound for America. With the help of Alan Breck Stewart, David returns to his homeland seeking justice.
Destitute ex-student Raskalnikov has murder in mind. He plots to kill an old pawnbroker, justifying the savage act by postulating that his worth to society is greater than that of his parasitic victim. A bloodhound policeman is on his trail, however, and Raskalnikov also wrestles with the torment of guilt in Dostoevsky's masterly exploration of criminal intent and the avenging agent of conscience.
Harkening to Agatha Christie’s classic And Then There Were None, this high-tension thriller follows five couples trapped on a storm-swept island as a killer stalks among them—from Ruth Ware, the New York Times bestselling author who “is turning out to be as ingenious and indefatigable as the Queen of Crime” (The Washington Post).
Lyla is in a bit of a rut. Her post-doctoral research has fizzled out, she’s pretty sure they won’t extend her contract, and things with her boyfriend, Nico, an aspiring actor, aren’t going great. When the opportunity arises for Nico to join the cast of a new reality TV show, One Perfect Couple, she agrees to try out with him.
A whirlwind audition process later, Lyla finds herself whisked off to a tropical paradise with Nico, boating through the Indian Ocean towards Ever After Island, where the two of them will compete against four other couples—Bayer and Angel, Dan and Santana, Joel and Romi, and Conor and Zana—in order to win a cash prize.
But not long after they arrive on the deserted island, things start to go wrong. After the first challenge leaves everyone rattled and angry, an overnight storm takes matters from bad to worse. Cut off from the mainland by miles of ocean, deprived of their phones, and unable to contact the crew that brought them there, the group must band together for survival. As tensions run high and fresh water runs low, Lyla finds that this game show is all too real—and the stakes are life or death.
A new Sherlock Holmes novel, endorsed by the Conan Doyle Estate.
'A wonderfully entertaining, high-speed, high-stakes adventure with two, no FOUR and more, characters from classic detective fiction! Holmes and Moriarty by Gareth Rubin is the real deal: an accomplished tribute, true to the spirit of Conan-Doyle, but with a thrillingly original story and enough accomplished inventiveness to captivate and satisfy. The perfect fix for Holmes fans - thoroughly recommended!' Janice Hallett
Two adversaries. One deadly alliance. Together, can they unlock the truth?
Sherlock Holmes and his faithful friend, Dr John Watson, have been hired by actor George Reynolds to help him solve a puzzle. George wants them to find out why the audience who comes to see him perform every night are the same people, only wearing disguises. Is something sinister going on and, if so, what?
Meanwhile, Holmes’ archenemy, Professor James Moriarty is having problems of his own. Implicated in the murder of a gang leader, Moriarty and his second, Moran, must go on the run from the police in order to find out who is behind the set-up.
But their investigation puts them in the way of Holmes and Watson and it’s not long before all four realise that they are being targeted by the same person. With lives on the line, not just their own, they must form an uneasy alliance in order to unmask the true villain. With clues leading them to a hotel in Switzerland and a conspiracy far greater than any of them expected, who can be trusted – and will anyone of them survive?
When the LA Chief Medical Examiner, Dr Carolyn Hove, discovers some inconsistencies in a routine autopsy, she calls in Detective Robert Hunter of the LAPD Ultra Violent Crimes Unit. Not only was the victim not killed in a hit-and-run, but Dr Hove also found signs that they’d been severely tortured prior to death.
Their investigation leads Hunter and his partner, Carlos Garcia, on the trail of a twisted and clever killer who hides in plain sight. A serial killer no one even knew existed – a killer who has always operated under the radar, expertly disguising every gruesome murder as an accidental death.
But how do you investigate a murder when you have no victims? How do you catch a killer who leaves behind no crime scene? How do you stop a ghost who no one can prove even exists?
