All she wanted to do was take her son's forgotten sports kit to school. So why does Nicki Clements drive past the home of controversial newspaper columnist Damon Blundy eight times in one day? Blundy has been murdered, and the words 'he is no less dead' daubed on his wall - in red paint, not blood. And, though Blundy was killed with a knife, he was not stabbed. Why? Nicki, called in for questioning, doesn't have any of the answers police are looking for. Nor can she tell them the truth, because although she is not guilty of murder, she is far from innocent. And the words on the wall are...

"We've been at it all summer, from the Canadian border to the edge of Mexico . . ."
Romance and poetry seem to go hand in hand but implicit, explicit, nuanced or starkly frank sex itself has long been a staple subject for poets. In fact a great deal of erotic poetry rejects the distinction. It's hard to imagine a more fruitful subject for poets than sex, in all its glorious manifestations: from desire and hope, through disappointment and confusion, to conclusion and consequence. And little has changed over the centuries, as Sophie Hannah's anthology vividly demonstrates, from Catullus...

Nejslavnější postava z pera královny zločinu je zpět… Potomci Agathy Christie svolili k návratu Hercula Poirota na stránky nových napínavých příběhů. Nesnadného úkolu důstojně navázat na tradici poirotovských detektivek se ujala bestsellerová autorka Sophie Hannah. Výsledkem jsou Vraždy s monogramem, spletitý případ zasazený do Londýna 20. let minulého století. Ďábelsky chytrý hlavolam plný falešných stop a snadno přehlédnutelných, o to však důležitějších detailů může rozřešit jen legendární belgický puntičkář a jeho brilantní...

New and uncollected tales of murder, mischief, magic and madness. Ruth Rendell was an acknowledged master of psychological suspense: these are ten (and a quarter) of her most chillingly compelling short stories, collected here together for the first time. In these tales, a businessman boasts about cheating on his wife, only to find the tables turned. A beautiful country rectory reverberates to the echo of a historical murder. A compulsive liar acts on impulse, only to be lead inexorably to disaster. And a wealthy man finds there is more to his wife's kidnapping than meets the eye. ...
