Thriller o atentátníkovi, který se rohodl vyměnit terče svého útoku - namísto Fidela Castra to bude J. F. Kennedy. Zápletka poměrně napínavého špionážního románu je fikcí vystavěnou na skutečných událostech ze začátku šedesátých let. Autor namíchal koktejl populárních skandálů moderních amerických dějin - defiluje tady prezident Kennedy, zvolený údajně s mocnou podporou mafie, kvůli pletkám s Marilin Monroe vydíraný CIA, zkrátka každý proti každému a všichni dohromady proti Fidelu Castrovi. Kennedy na nátlak mafie pověří CIA úkolem zbavit se kubánského vůdce. Na tuto "práci" je najat zkušený zabiják Tom Jefferson. Ten je poněkud konsternován tím, že celou akci organizuje podivuhodná trojka: JFK, CIA a mafiánský boss Giancana. Atentátník postupně proniká stále hlouběji do špíny politického zákulisí, aby se nakonec rohodl svým chlebodárcům originálně zkřížit plány: místo Castra zlikviduje Kennedyho! Tento nápad se pochopitelně nezamlouvá ani CIA, ani mafii, a tak máme rázem na scéně dalšího interesantně rozpolceného amerického hrdinu v mezní situaci: Aby mohl zastřelit prezidenta, musí setřást ze své stopy zabijáky ve službách státu i ve službách organizovaného zločinu.

(první část volné trilogie Temný Berlín) Soukromý detektiv pátrá v nacistickém Berlíně po vrazích mladého manželského páru a po ukradených špercích. Multimilionář Six si najme detektiva Bernharda Gunthera, aby objasnil vraždy a krádež: Sixova dcera a zeť byli zastřeleni a zároveň zmizely ze sejfu šperky značné hodnoty. Guntherovo pátrání je ztíženo poměry v Berlíně roku 1936, přesto se mu podaří odhalit pozadí a motiv celého případu a dospět k překvapivému závěru. Tato kniha je autorovou prvotinou a náleží k "berlínské trilogii" napínavých románů, odehrávajících se v nepříjemném ovzduší Německa 30. a 40. let, v čase vrcholícího nacismu. Právě tato vypjatá atmosféra ozvláštňuje celý dobře promyšlený příběh, jehož námět i sympatický hrdina z rodu drsných chlapíků mohou zaujmout a stojí za přečtení.
Rok 2013: Londýn je světem skvělých technologií, ale i násilí a strachu. A den za dnem přibývají mrtvá těla. Všechny vraždy však mají něco společného – souvisejí s vládním programem Lombroso. Postupně umírají oběti s krycím jménem Dickens, Shakespeare, Sokrates… Komisařka Jake Jakowiczová se odhodlává k nezvyklému pátrání. Hledá muže jménem Wittgenstein, který si pravděpodobně myslí, že je jedním z největších filozofů 20. století. Vede filozofický dialog s vrahem. Nejrafinovanějším, na jakého kdy narazila. Bojují spolu o čas, ale i o smysl lidské existence.

This inspiring tale captures the power of the human spirit and is perfect for fans of The Book Thief, Milkweed, and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. It will soon be another cold winter in the Ukraine.

He must also learn to keep secrets—for there is a girl, Kalinka, who is hiding in the park. Kalinka has lost her home, her family, her belongings—everything but her life. Still, she has gained one small, precious gift: a relationship with the rare wild and wily Przewalski's horses that wander the preserve. Aside from Max, these endangered animals are her only friends—until a Nazi campaign of extermination nearly wipes them out for good. Now Kalinka must set out on a treacherous journey across the frozen forest to save the only two surviving horses—and herself.

An instant classic in the Bernie Gunther series, with storytelling that is fresher and more vivid than ever. Berlin, 1934: The Nazis have secured the 1936 Olympiad for the city but are facing foreign resistance. Hitler and Avery Brundage, the head of the U.S. Olympic Committee, have connived to soft-pedal Nazi anti- Semitism and convince America to participate. Bernie Gunther, now the house detective at an upscale Berlin hotel, is swept into this world of international corruption and dangerous double-dealing, caught between the warring factions of the Nazi apparatus. Havana, 1954: Batista, aided by the CIA, has just seized power; Castro is in prison; and the American Mafia is quickly gaining a stranglehold on the city's exploding gaming and prostitution industries. Bernie, who has been unceremoniously kicked out of Buenos Aires, has resurfaced in Cuba with a new life, seemingly one of routine and relative peace. But Bernie discovers that he truly cannot outrun the burden of his past: He soon collides with a vicious killer from his Berlin days, who is mysteriously murdered not long afterward-and an old lover, who may be the murderer. If the Dead Rise Not is everything fans have come to expect from Philip Kerr: twisted intrigue, tight plotting, quick-witted one-liners, a hang-by-your-thumbs ending, and, most significant, a richer, wiser Bernie Gunther.

July 2069: centennial of the Apollo 11 moon walk. What would Buzz Aldrin see if he were here? On Earth, plagues have destroyed the major food supplies, climatic changes have brought constant winter to the once-industrialized West, and a new and virulent virus--P2--has infected Earth's population, bringing radical change in economic, political, and social structures. P2 is curable--but only with an infusion of uninfected blood. Indeed, blood has become the currency of choice: It is banked, speculated in, traded, hoarded, but only by those wealthy enough (or healthy enough) to have a clean, uninfected supply. And the moon? It is now home to sex hotels and penal colonies. Home, too, to the "federal reserve" of blood banks--the most impregnable high-security installation in the world. It is the brainchild of one man--and he has every reason to destroy it. Acting on the most human of motives--revenge--he will take on the impossible. Unbeknownst to him, he will have help from a very strange source.
