Agatha Christie's Murder in the Making
Agatha Christie's life and career told through the decades, from the never-before-published original ending to her first book to the unused ideas for her last, complete with two unpublished Agatha Christie stories - including a lost Miss Marple. In this follow-up volume to the acclaimed Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks, Christie archivist and expert John Curran leads the reader through the six decades of Agatha Christie's writing career, unearthing some remarkable clues to her success and a number of never-before-published excerpts and stories from her archives. Starting his investigation in the 1920s, John Curran examines the conventions of detective novels as they existed then and how Agatha Christie's publisher talked her into changing the ending of her very first book, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, a move that almost certainly changed the fortunes of not only her career but the future of the whole crime writing genre. For the very first time, this book prints Agatha's original ending, painstakingly transcribed from her notebooks. Every decade saw Agatha Christie's success grow to new heights. The emergence of the world-famous Collins Crime Club in 1930 brought with it the very first Miss Marple mystery, the austerity of the 1940s had Agatha Christie preparing to kill off Hercule Poirot, and the 1950s saw her experiment increasingly with formats influenced by more modern thrillers. Focusing on the detail of more than 20 Christie novels to illustrate this, John Curran shows the evolution of Agatha's writing through the decades, including the influence of the swinging sixties and seventies, concluding the book with a look at Agatha's last notebook, using his Christie knowledge to speculate about what she had in mind based on her brief notes for an unwritten final book. Also includes a number of short stories from the archives reproduced in full, including the unpublished The Man Who Knew, How I Created Hercule Poirot, and an early draft for a Miss Marple story, The Case of the Caretaker's Wife.

Agatha Christie's Poirot
From the very first book publication in 1920 to the upcoming film release of Death on the Nile, this investigation into Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot celebrates a century of probably the world's favourite fictional detective.
This book tells his story decade-by-decade, exploring his appearances not only in the original novels, short stories and plays but also across stage, screen and radio productions.

From character development, publication history and private discussion concerning the original stories themselves, to early forays on to the stage and screen, the story of Poirot is as fascinating as it is enduring.
Based on the author's original research, review excerpts and original Agatha Christie correspondence, Poirot: The Greatest Detective in the World is a lively and accessible history of the character, offering new information and helpful pieces of context, that will delight all Agatha Christie fans, from a new generation of readers to those already highly familiar with the canon.

Agatha Raisin és a meztelen igazság
Ki hinné, hogy egy sokat megjárt országutat övező buja zöld takarásában meztelen emberek élvezik a napfürdőzést és a nyár minden örömét? Erre a meghökkentő felismerésre jut Agatha és hű asszisztense, Toni, amikor barátjuk, Bill Wong esküvőjére autózva egy anyaszült meztelen férfi rohan ki eléjük az úttestre. A rémült fiatalember nemcsak egy naturistaklub berkeibe vezeti el a sokat látott két nyomozót, de egy lehetséges bűntény hűlt helyéhez is. S bár épp a legfőbb bizonyítéka tűnt el annak, hogy valóban gyilkosság történt, Agatha Raisin csalhatatlan szimata működésbe lép, és elhiszi a fiatalembernek, milyen vérfagyasztó látványra bukkant ott, ahol a madár sem jár - és ahol most semmi sincs. Kivéve egy ősöreg követ, amelyen a legenda szerint egykor embereket áldoztak...
Ahogy puhatolózni kezdenek a furcsa ügy szereplőinél, a szálak összefonódni látszanak a magánnyomozó iroda egy másik esetével: egy elit gimnáziumban felüti a fejét a drog, de fogalma sincs senkinek, ki által szivároghat be az iskolai falai közé.
Agatha Raisin most sem retten vissza sem fenyegetéstől, sem halálos veszélytől, sem holmi erőszakos maffiózótól - de még attól sem, hogy ha muszáj, hát elvegyüljön egy nudistaklub tagjai között. Csak egyetlen dologgal nehéz zöld ágra vergődnie: a férfiakkal. Márpedig most a régiek mellett két új jelölt is felbukkan.
Agatha Raisin és a rossz lóra tett feleség
Agatha ugyan élete virágjában van, mégis érez némi féltékenységet fiatal, csinos beosztottja, Toni szemtelen fiatalsága okán. Ám messze nem ez a főgond.

Nincs mese, egybe kell kelnie az újgazdag, felkapaszkodott Brown-Field család ritka ellenszenves leányával. Agatha mégsem adja fel a reményt, hogy Charlest kimentse ebből a csávából. Közben egy fényes, jelmezes partin kegyetlen gyilkosság történik, és maga Agatha is a gyanúsítottak közé kerül. Ráadásul újra szikrázik a levegő exférje, James és közte. Meglesz-e végül tettes? Lehet-e Agathának és Jamesnek második esélye a szerelemre?

In sinu Jesu
V roku 2007 sa začali uprostred ticha adorácie srdcu jedného kňaza prihovárať Pán Ježiš a Panna Mária. Z týchto slov sa zrodila kniha In sinu Jesu, ktorej stránky sa priamo dotýkajú potrieb človeka našej doby a pomáhajú mu prehĺbiť vzťah s Bohom.
Na pozadí základného motívu, ktorým je klaňanie sa eucharistickému Ježišovi a prinášanie náhrady za tých, čo sa neklaňajú, sa tu otvárajú i ďalšie témy duchovného života: modlitba, odovzdanie sa Božej prozreteľnosti, nutnosť ticha, potreba sviatostí a posvätnej liturgie, tajomstvá svätej omše, podstata kňazstva a kľúč k jeho apoštolskej plodnosti, úloha Panny Márie a svätých v našich životoch, skúsenosť hriechu a vlastnej slabosti na ceste za Kristom, túžba po nebi a obnova cirkvi na zemi.
Táto kniha, ktorej učenie sa pevne opiera o Písmo a apoštolskú Tradíciu, vyšla s cirkevným schválením pôvodne v angličtine, bola preložená do mnohých jazykov a stala sa zdrojom obnovy vnútorného života mnohých kňazov, rehoľníkov i laikov po celom svete.
