Eleanor’s sleuthing skills are about to be put to the ultimate test as – among literary rivals, rabid fans, a crazed stalker and another ex-flame on tour with her – suspicions are flying faster than paperbacks off a bestseller shelf. But who is really trying to get away with murder?

Six elephants bolt from an amusement park and vanish; where they’re found brings back memories of a forgotten dictator. A car ride on a foggy highway at night becomes a drive through hell for a young couple getting away for the weekend together. A family lives the dream of moving from the city to a brand-new bedroom town in the country, only to be plagued by debt and fears of eviction, while the sound of incessant barking rings from the kennels nearby. In a city built on the site of ancient tombs, a homeowner’s renovation of a broken wall leads to an outcome no one expected. Older workers hired to play characters from a folk tale and wear smiles no one believes. An accountant asked to cook the books for his boss. A would-be writer disappointed in her students and her choices.
These are some of the premises and characters in Hye-young Pyun’s To the Kennels, winner of one of Korea’s most prestigious literary awards. Infused with psychological acuity, understated suspense, a touch of the uncanny, and her Kafkaesque take on the contemporary world, To the Kennels offers a thrilling, unsettling ride through territory that is both familiar and strange. As Un-su Kim, author of The Plotters has observed, she “reveals to us the cellular division of emotions we’ve never seen before.”

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 . . .

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.
Iwona Knechta, wydawca
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...
