In the near future, with Putin's grip on power slipping, a critical moment approaches. A cargo plane, supposedly carrying vital parts for Russia's stranded aircraft, is heading to Moscow, but it hides something far more dangerous. As the Ukrainian war reaches a bloody stalemate, the world watches with bated breath -only a coup in Moscow could end the conflict.

Apró irgalmak

Translated title: Small Mercies

Author: Lehane, Dennis

Genre: Crime / Thriller

Year: 2024 | Pages: 317 | Origin: HUN | BA Seq Num: 88392

It's 1974, during the great summer heat wave. One night, Mary Pat's teenage daughter, Jules, fails to come home. That same night, a young black boy is found dead, mysteriously run over by a subway train.

The two events seem unrelated, but in Mary Pat's desperate search for her child, she uncovers things she would have been better off leaving unsaid - her questions disturb Marty Butler, the boss of the Irish mob, and his men, who do not welcome the investigation, which threatens their business. And in the background, the city's public school desegregation drive is pulsing and seething, leading to outbreaks of violence.

A sensational thriller, a brutal tableau of crime and power, and a brave portrait of the dark heart of American racism, Small Mercies is a delightful and ruthless book that only Dennis Lehane can write

Translated title: And the Snow Covers Everything

Author: Bence, Hidas

Genre: Thriller / Crime

Year: 2024 | Pages: 379 | Origin: HUN | BA Seq Num: 88396

The black snow cloud roared over the János Hill, swallowing everything in its path unstoppably. The cold air fled in a shriek, the larch trees along the Kálvária Hill shivered from the piercing February wind. In the gnashing winter of 1924, old Aunt Marika Wimmer trudged up the steep side of the Kálvária Hill in Budakesz. She tried to get to the chapel, but instead of safety, fear awaited her in the consecrated building. Visceral fear.

Looking in through a side window, she was greeted by a horrific sight: the body of a young girl lying sprawled on the church floor. The village closed in. Mistrust was creeping among the residents, which did not make the job of the two investigators, Károly Pinelli and Ottó Márzay, sent from the capital, easier. Their investigation was not only hampered by the suspicion of the locals, but also by the snowfall that covered everything. And as the snow increasingly buries the tracks, more and more bodies turn up - and the serial killer must be stopped at all costs
