Marzenia z brązu
Läckberg, Camilla, 1974-
"Choć były mąż Faye nie żyje, jej koszmar trwa dalej. Ojciec, który zbiegł z więzienia i jest na wolności, stanowi dla niej śmiertelne zagrożenie. Mężczyzna budzi w niej przerażenie, a niebezpieczeństwo zagraża nie tylko jej, ale też wszystkim, których kocha. Faye musi ochronić swoich najbliższych oraz swoje życiowe dzieło - firmę Revenge. Planując ostateczną zemstę, zbiera wokół siebie grupę nieustraszonych kobiet i sięga po pomoc jedynego mężczyzny, któremu ufa. Ale czy uda jej się pokonać ojca, który współpracuje z potężną, niebezpieczną organizacją przestępczą i jest groźniejszy niż kiedykolwiek wcześniej?"--
Blady świt
Dziedzic, Grzegorz, 1974-
"Po wyjściu z więzienia Teodor Rucki szybko pnie się po szczeblach gangsterskiej kariery. Bycie agentem tajnej policji i protegowanym samego Ala Capone to mieszanka wybuchowa, tym bardziej że przed Ruckim stoi karkołomne zadanie - doprowadzić do krwawej wojny gangów. Tylko, że Rucki nie ma nic do stracenia. Jego żona Zosia zostala zamordowana, a nim kieruje jedno pragnienie: zemsta na ludziach, którzy w nagrodę za swoje zbrodnie znaleźli się na świeczniku. Zeby jej dokonać, on też będzie musiał dostać się na szczyt. Droga ku zatraceniu."--Page 4 of cover
We called them giants
Gillen, Kieron
"Lori wakes to find the streets empty. Everyone has gone. Or at least, nearly everyone. She's thrown into a world where she has to scrape by in the ruins of civilization, nearly starving, hiding from gangs when They arrive."--
Bellevue
Cook, Robin, 1940-
"Twenty-three-year-old Michael 'Mitt' Fuller starts his surgical residency with great anticipation at the nearly three-hundred-year-old, iconic Bellevue Hospital, following in the footsteps of four previous, celebrated Fuller generations. The pressure is on for this newly minted doctor, and to his advantage he's always had a secret sixth sense, a sensitivity to the nonphysical. But quickly one patient after another assigned to his care begin to die from mysterious causes. As he tries to juggle these inexplicable deaths with the demands of being a first-year resident, things rapidly spiral out of control. Visions begin to plague Mitt--visions of a little girl in a bloodstained dress, bloodcurdling screams in the distance, and worse. As bodies mount and Mitt's stress level rises, he finds himself drawn to the monumental, abandoned Bellevue Psychopathic Hospital building, which to his astonishment has somehow defied the wrecking-ball and still stands a few doors north of the modern Bellevue Hospital high-rise. Forcing an unauthorized entry into this storied but foreboding structure, Mitt discovers he's more closely tied to the sins of the past than he ever thought possible"--
Blue sky through the window of a moving car : comics for beautiful, awful and ordinary days
Bolton, Jordan,
Most of life is made up of mundane moments on ordinary days. But every moment, every good day, bad day, and average day, had to happen exactly the way that it did for you to exist. Everything that made you, connects us all in small, invisible, and beautiful ways. This first comic collection from artist Jordan Bolton explores the fleeting details that unite us. Jordan brings together the visual language of comics with the heartfelt language of poetry, to express moments of love and heartbreak, embarrassment and shame, hope and disappointment, grief and happiness. Split into sections that reflect where we spend the majority of our time--In Public, In Transit, and At Home--Bolton shines spotlights on the lives and stories unfolding around us every day that we might otherwise ignore. With the addition of new and unseen comics, Blue Sky Through The Window of A Moving Car is a gentle reminder that everything is ordinary, everything is extraordinary, and everything is connected
Sweet Vidalia
Sandlin, Lisa,
It's 1964 and Eliza Kratke is mostly content. Married thirty years, she is long settled in Bayard, Texas with two grown children, a nice house, a little dog, and a routine. But her husband has a secret, and Eliza has not been brave enough to demand to know what it is. So when her husband dies suddenly, the ground doesn't just shift under Eliza's feet -- it falls away entirely, revealing that she has known nothing true about her life. How should she come to terms with all that has been a lie?

Cameron, W. Bruce,
How could you?
Strapp, Ren,
"College upperclassman Molly Song is set on getting over her ex this semester, but it's hard when she dumps you via email and posts all over social media about cozying up with her study-abroad roommate. After convincing her friend, Lou Kingston, that they should go to parties and find rebound girlfriends, Molly learns she should be careful what she wishes for when she starts to develop real feelings for someone she's not sure feels the same way. Meanwhile, Molly and Lou's exes, Yona and Olene, have left their pasts behind as they study abroad in France. Together they see springtime in Marseille, find new friendships, and uncover new personal truths. Will their whirlwind trip bloom into a whirlwind romance, or will their journeys to self-discovery put them on different paths entirely?"--
Shell games
Kistler, Bonnie,
"A glamorous, madcap mystery following a wealthy woman of a certain age whose life is turned upside down by love - and true confessions. Kate Sawyer is a somebody, not only in Florida, but up and down the East Coast. A hugely glamorous and successful real estate developer, she has more money than she will ever need. At the age of seventy, Kate finally gets back together with her childhood sweetheart, and they get married in a gigantic wedding that is the talk of the town. Everybody, especially her thirty-something daughter, is thrilled, even though it's always been just the two of them. On their wedding night, the new husband turns to Kate and makes a stunning confession about a well-known crime from years ago, that he says he has committed. But did he? Or is Kate losing it? Or maybe he's just trying to gaslight her, so that he can take control of her assets. There's a prenup, of course, but there are always loopholes... Shell Games is a delicious psychologically thrilling dramedy of errors that will make you wonder if these people are paranoid, crazy, or just as confused as the rest of us"--
I made it out of clay
Kander, Beth,
"Nothing's going well for Eve: she's single, turning forty, stressed at work, and anxious about a recent series of increasingly creepy incidents. Most devastatingly, her beloved father died last year, and her family still won't acknowledge their sorrow. With her younger sister's wedding rapidly approaching, Eve is on the verge of panic. She can't bear to attend the event alone. That's when she recalls a strange story her Yiddish grandmother once told her, about a protector forged of desperation--and Eve, to her own shock, manages to create a golem. At first, everything seems great. The golem is indeed protective--and also attractive. But when they head out to a rural summer camp for the family wedding, Eve's lighthearted rom-com fantasy swiftly mudslides into something much darker"--
I might be in trouble
Aleman, Daniel,
"A suspenseful dark comedy about a struggling writer who wakes up to find his date from the night before dead-and must now decide how far he's willing to go to spin the event into his next big book. A few years ago, David Alvarez had it all: a six-figure book deal, a loving boyfriend, and an exciting writing career. His debut novel was a resounding success, which made the publication of his second book-a total flop-all the more devastating. Now, David is single, lonely, and desperately trying to come up with the next great idea for his third manuscript, one that will redeem him in the eyes of readers, reviewers, the entire publishing world...and maybe even his ex-boyfriend. The issue is, good ideas are hard to come by, and the mounting pressure of a near-empty bank account isn't helping. But when David connects with a sexy stranger on a dating app, he figures a wild night out in New York City may be just what he needs to get his creative juices flowing. Lucky for him, his date turns out to be handsome, confident, and charming-everything David's been looking for, really-not to mention the perfect distraction from yet another evening staring at a blank screen. After one of the best nights of his life, David wakes up hungover but giddy-only to find prince charming dead next to him in bed. Horrified, completely confused, and suddenly faced with the implausible-but-somehow-plausible idea that he may have actually killed his date, David calls the only person he can trust in a moment of crisis: his quirky literary agent, Stacey. Together, David and Stacey must untangle the events of the previous night, cover their tracks, and spin the entire misadventure into David's career-defining novel-if only they can figure out what to do with the body first."--
The promise of unbroken straw
Steele, Ken, 1948-2000,
Ni una más
Sáez Carral, Miguel, 1968-
"Todos piensan que es mentira, solo ella sabe la verdad. Alma tiene diecisiete años, el pelo castaño, la boca un poco grande y los ojos oscuros. Tiene dos amigas íntimas, Greta y Nata, un puñado de gente con la que se va de fiesta y el recuerdo de una noche que le gustaría olvidar. Alma también tiene una cuenta en Instagram (@colemanmiller18, con 950K seguidores), aunque nadie sabe que es suya. Pero de todo lo que Alma tiene, lo más importante está dentro de la mochila negra que lleva a la espalda. Es algo que va a cambiar su vida en un instante. ±Cuidado, aquí se esconde un violador.¬ Es lo que dicen las grandes letras color sangre en la tela que Alma acaba de colgar en la fachada de su instituto." --
Highway thirteen
McFarlane, Fiona, 1978-
"A gripping, enigmatic collection of linked short stories about the reverberations of a serial killer's crimes in the lives of everyday people"--
Pick-up
Dahlia, Nora,
"Sasha Rubinstein is not on her game. Parenting with an absent (and objectively douchey) ex has never been easy, but, lately, the judgmental side-eye from people at school pick-up feels extra. It doesn't help that some entitled dad--with his perfect t-shirts and perfectly punchable (yet adorable) face--keeps stealing the last after-school spots and school hoodies out from under her. Ethan Jones is not trying to trip Sasha up, at school or otherwise. In fact, ever since they met (which she promptly forgot), he's been hoping for the exact opposite ... or at least to stop thinking about her. When a game-changing job lands them trapped together on an exclusive private island, they resolve to stop sniping at each other and keep things professional. But with tension building between them and the permeating intoxication of island time, temptation blows in on every tropical breeze"--Provided by publisher
