Práce s kameny a vodou je umělecký proces, který vyžaduje čas a pečlivost. Umělec si uvědomuje, jak důležité je ustálit počáteční představu a vyhnout se zkratkám. Klíčovými pravidly úspěšného návrhu jsou jednoduchost a smělost. Je důležité se seznámit s přírodními materiály a vybírat, dokud si nejste jisti svým návrhem. Může to zahrnovat vyšší výdaje na vybavení pro manipulaci s většími kameny. Velké kameny lze nalézt na nepřístupných místech a jejich správné umístění může mít na zahradě ohromný efekt, i když je prostor malý. Při výběru kamenů je důležité zohlednit jejich sousedství, orientaci a hloubku ponoření. Pokud se těmto aspektům nevěnuje pozornost, může výsledek vypadat nekoordinovaně. Někdy je lepší zaměřit se na vodní prvek, který lze snadno osadit. Odměny za vytvoření harmonické zahrady s vodou a kameny však převyšují případné potíže. Při vytváření krajinných prvků je nezbytné správně posoudit přirozenou krajinu a mít pomoc při manipulaci s těžkými kameny. Každý přírodní prvek má svou jedinečnou krásu a měl by odrážet vaši osobnost. Jakmile jsou kameny a voda na svém místě, může být obtížné provádět úpravy. Tato příručka nabízí rady pro plánování a výsadbu a seznamuje s různými prvky zahrady, jako jsou kameny, fontány a jezírka.

Napínavá detektivka s vrchním inspektorem Alanem Banksem. Poklidnou hladinu malého severoanglického městečka rozbouří politická demonstrace. Pokojné shromáždění se zvrhne v krvavý střet a na jeho konci zůstává na chodníku mrtvý policista. Kromě napínavé zápletky nám tato kniha dává nahlédnout do totalitní mentality thatcherismu osmdesátých let minulého století v Anglii. Může být tenhle "politicky motivovaný" čin ve skutečnosti zoufalou odplatou zlomeného člověka?

V yorkshirském rehabilitačním zařízení pro policisty byl zabit uznávaný inspektor Bill Quinn. Vyšetřování se ujme místní detektiv Alan Banks, kompromitující fotografie nalezené v Quinnově pokoji by však mohly ohrozit pověst strážců zákona, proto se o vraždu začne zajímat i Joanna Passerová z oddělení inspekce. Svérázný Banks, neochotný s kýmkoli spolupracovat, trpí její přítomnost jen s největšími obtížemi. Na snímcích, kde zavražděný Quinn dovádí v hotelovém pokoji s neznámou dívkou, je něco podezřelého. Něco je spojuje s místním podsvětím. A s několik let starou kauzou, která byla pro Quinna léta noční můrou… Detektivní série případů inspektora Alana Bankse ze severoanglického hrabství Yorkshire vychází ve Velké Británii již čtyři desetiletí (od roku 2010 se točí také televizní adaptace). Od prvních dílů sbírá doma i v zahraničí – vychází ve dvaceti jazycích – jedno žánrové ocenění za druhým a získává si stále více příznivců moderní britské kriminální školy nejvyšší kvality.

Odlehlé místo, dávno nepoužívaná železniční kolej – a mrtvola staršího muže, podivína, který se vyhýbal lidem. Zesnulý Gavin Miller býval učitelem, než ho obvinili ze sexuálního obtěžování studentky a vyhodili. Od té doby žil jako poustevník. Byla to vražda, sebevražda, náhoda? A odkud se vzalo pět tisíc liber, které se našly v jeho kapse? Šéfinspektoru Alanu Banksovi na tomhle případu od začátku něco nesedí. Je tu až příliš mnoho motivů a ještě víc nesrovnalostí. Možná šlo o pomstu, možná o vydírání. Možná je do toho zapletena místní honorace. A souvislosti bude třeba nejspíš hledat v divoké minulosti počátku 70. let: době, která rozdmýchala zášti, jež nebyly nikdy zapomenuty – ani odpuštěny.

Chris Lowndes, úspěšný skladatel filmové hudby, se po smrti své ženy rozhodne vrátit do rodné Anglie. Koupí si starý dům na odlehlém místě, jenž ho od pohledu okouzlil, ale pak zjistí, že se tu před více než půl stoletím odehrála vražda: bývalého majitele, lékaře E. A. Foxe, údajně otrávila jeho krásná a mnohem mladší manželka Grace. Byla zatčena, odsouzena a oběšena. Ale byla vinna? Chrisova zvědavost se postupně mění v posedlost. Touha odhalit pravdu ho vede po temných, klikatých cestách hluboko do minulosti, do spleti tajemství až příliš blízkých současnosti… „Poutavá detektivka upomíná na britský ,zlatý věk‘ příběhů Agathy Christie.“ Wall Street Journal

"Robinson is an author with amazing empathy, a snare-trap ear for dialogue, and a clear eye for the telling detail."--Michael Connelly One of the world's greatest suspense writers returns with the 27th novel featuring the legendary detective Alan Banks in the mystery series Stephen King calls "the best now on the market." When property developer Connor Clive Blaydon is found dead, Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks and his Yorkshire team dive into the investigation. As luck would have it, someone had installed a cache of spy-cams all around his luxurious home. The team hope that they'll find answers--and the culprit--among the video recordings. Instead of discovering Connor's murderer, however, the grainy and blurred footage reveals another crime: a brutal rape. If they can discover the woman's identity, it could lead to more than justice for the victim; it could change everything the police think they know about Connor and why anyone would want him dead. Meanwhile, tensions are rising between Banks and his friend, Zelda. A super recognizer--able to recognize faces significantly better than most people--Zelda is determined to bring the men who abused her to justice. But stirring up the murky waters of the past will put her in far greater danger than ever before, and Banks worries that he won't be able to stop her from plunging too deep before it's too late.

Banks is unaware that the threads connecting a sinister kidnapping with a savage slaying are as thick as rope . . . and long enough for a haunted and broken rogue cop to hang himself.

Banks is called to investigate his most grisly case yet in the twenty-second DCI Banks novel, by Number One bestselling author Peter Robinson.

The brilliant last novel in the number one bestselling Alan Banks crime series - by the master of the police procedural.[Bokinfo].

When the bodies of two squatters are found in the burning remains of a couple of derelict barges, Inspector Alan Banks has to wonder whether one of their occupations caused their deaths. One victim was a local artist, with plenty of turpentine and oil paint at hand; the other was a young woman, a junkie, who evidently shot up her final fix just before the fire started. But if the fire was an accident, why did her boyfriend bolt from the scene when the police arrived? And why did the neighbour who discovered the fire not call it in right away? As they start their investigation, Banks and his colleague (and former lover), DI Annie Cabbot, find more than enough motives for murder – and more than one person with a reason to kill. Worse, one of the two detectives themselves discovers firsthand the seductive thrill and terrible danger of playing with fire. In his fourteenth Inspector Banks mystery, Peter Robinson once more displays his extraordinary skill in creating memorable characters, a haunting narrative, and a subtly unveiled plot, a talent that has made him one of the best writers of crime fiction in the world today.

As each lead does little to unravel the mystery, Banks feels as if the case is coming to a dead end. Until a road accident reveals some alarming evidence, thought to be disposed, which throws the investigation to a frightening new level. Someone is trying to cover their tracks - someone with very deadly intent ...

Banks's friend Zelda, increasingly uncertain of her future in Britain's hostile environment, thinks she will be safer in Moldova hunting the men who abducted, raped and enslaved her than she is Yorkshire or London. Her search takes her back to the orphanage where it all began - but by stirring up the murky waters of the past, Zelda is putting herself in greater danger than any she's seen before. And as the threat escalates, so does the danger for Banks and those who love Zelda . . .

C'est là que le jeune Adam, un gamin du voisinage, fasciné par ce fantastique domaine d'aventure, fait une découverte macabre : les os d'une main humaine, recouverts d'une croûte terreuse, humide et noire… Comment mettre un nom sur ces restes ? Qui a été inhumé ainsi, à la hâte, dans la remise d'une maison ? Comment reconstituer le drame ignoré de tous qui s'est déroulé à Hobb's End alors que la guerre brassait les populations, amenant au village des réfugiés de Londres bombardé et des soldats américains ? Un défi pour Alan Banks, le policier mis sur la touche pour insubordination, et chargé de cette affaire à l'évidence inextricable. Peu à peu, cependant, les archives locales vont livrer leurs secrets, les mémoires des survivants se délier, et le destin tragique de Gloria émerger de l'oubli dans le décor hallucinant du village fantôme.
