The Man Who Died Twice
The second novel in the record-breaking number one bestselling Thursday Murder Club series from the biggest debut novelist in recent history.
The second novel in the number one Sunday Times bestselling Thursday Murder Club series featuring the old (but far from past-it) team as they pursue a brand new mystery.
It's the following Thursday, and Elizabeth has just had a visit from a man she thought was dead. It's (one of) her ex-husbands, and he's being hunted. His story involves some diamonds, some spies, and a very angry mobster.
Elizabeth puts it down to his normal grandstanding, but then the bodies start piling up. So she enlists Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron in the hunt for the killer. If they find the diamonds - well, that's just a bonus...
But this time the murderer isn't some small-time criminal, and it soon becomes terrifying clear that they wouldn't bat an eyelid at killing four septuagenarians. Can our team find the killer before the killer finds them?

The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea
Don't chase fate. Let fate chase you.
For generations, deadly storms have ravaged Mina's homeland. Her people believe the Sea God, once their protector, now curse them with death and despair. To appease him, each year a maiden is thrown into the sea, in the hopes that one day the 'true bride' will be chosen and end the suffering.
Many believe Shim Cheong - Mina's brother's beloved - to be the legendary true bride. But on the night Cheong is sacrificed, Mina's brother follows her, even knowing that to interfere is a death sentence. To save her brother, Mina throws herself into the water in Cheong's stead.
Swept away to the Spirit Realm, a magical city of lesser gods and mythical beasts, Mina finds the Sea God, trapped in an enchanted sleep. With the help of a mysterious young man and a motley crew of demons, gods and spirits, Mina sets out to wake him and bring an end to the storms once and for all.
But she doesn't have much time: a human cannot live long in the land of the spirits. And there are those who would do anything to keep the Sea God from waking...
The Cat Who Saved Books
The Cat Who Saved Books is a heart-warming story about finding courage, caring for others – and the tremendous power of books.
Grandpa used to say it all the time: 'books have tremendous power'. But what is that power really?
Natsuki Books was a tiny second-hand bookshop on the edge of town. Inside, towering shelves reached the ceiling, every one crammed full of wonderful books. Rintaro Natsuki loved this space that his grandfather had created. He spent many happy hours there, reading whatever he liked. It was the perfect refuge for a boy who tended to be something of a recluse.
After the death of his grandfather, Rintaro is devastated and alone. It seems he will have to close the shop. Then, a talking tabby cat called Tiger appears and asks Rintaro for help. The cat needs a book lover to join him on a mission. This odd couple will go on three magical adventures to save books from people who have imprisoned, mistreated and betrayed them. Finally, there is one last rescue that Rintaro must attempt alone . . .
Sosuke Natsukawa's international bestseller, translated from Japanese by Louise Heal Kawai, is a story for those for whom books are so much more than words on paper.
Bowie David - Metrobolist (Aka The Man Who Sold The World) CD
KDO: Jedna z největších osobnostní světové hudby, proslulý hudební chameleon a průkopník hned několika hudebních směrů. Za svůj život vydal tento britský umělec rovných dvacet pět alb, z nichž velká část se zařadila do zlatého fondu populární hudby a ovlivnila hned několik generací hudebníků z několika hudebních žánrů. Své poslední album Black Star David Bowie vydal 8. ledna 2016 v den svých šedesátých devátých narozenin a pouhé dva dny před svou smrtí.
CO: Připomínka padesátého výročí vydání Bowieho alba The Man Who Sold The World. Nové mixy devíti skladeb, za nimiž stojí Toni Visconti, jsou v původně připraveném grafickém provedení k dispozici na CD nebo LP. Plánovaný název alba zněl Metrobolis, ten byl ale doslova v poslední minutě před vydáním změněn. V době nahrávání byl Bowie zaujat spíš svou novou manželkou Angie než albem samotným a tak byly všechny skladby naaranžovány jeho spolupracovníky - kytaristou Mickem Ronsonem a producentem Tony Viscontim. Díky jejich práci dostalo album drsnější, až heavy metalový zvuk, který jej odlišuje od svého předchůdce Space Oddity. Album vyšlo v několika různých obalech. Americká verze alba měla na obalu komiksový obrázek cowboye zobrazeného před nemocnicí Cane Hill, kde byl umístěný Bowieho nevlastní bratr Terry. Britská verze měla na obalu kontroverzní fotografii Davida v šatech ležícího na pohovce. Později, v roce 1972, byl tento obal nahrazen fotografií Bowieho jako Ziggy Stardusta z koncertního vystoupení. Tento obal se zachoval i v reedici americké společnosti Rykodisc v roce 1990. Původní fotka se vrátila na obal alba až v roce 1999. Titulní skladba byla zpopularizována v 90. letech díky americké skupině Nirvana, která ji zařadila do svého vystoupení MTV Unplugged v roce 1994.

Who, The - Who's Next (50th Anniversary) CD
"The Who" je anglická rocková skupina založená v Londýne v roku 1964. Jej základnú zostavu tvorili hlavný spevák Roger Daltrey, gitarista Pete Townshend, basgitarista John Entwistle a bubeník Keith Moon. Sú považovaní za jednu z najvplyvnejších rockových kapiel 20. storočia a celosvetovo predali viac ako 100 miliónov nahrávok. Medzi ich prínosy k rockovej hudbe patrí vývoj Marshall stack, veľké systémy ozvučenia, použitie syntetizátorov, Entwistle a Moon vplyvné štýly hry, Townshendova spätná väzba a power akord gitarovej techniky a vývoj rockovej opery. Sú citovaní ako vplyv mnohých hard rockových, punkových, power popových a modových kapiel. The Who boli uvedení do Rokenrolovej siene slávy v roku 1990.
"Who's Next" je piaty štúdiový album anglickej rockovej skupiny, pôvodne vydaný v roku 1971. Album bol vyvinutý zo zrušeného projektu Lifehouse', multimediálnej rockovej opery, ktorú napísal gitarista a skladateľ Pete Townshend ako pokračovanie albumu z roku 1969. album „Tommy“. Album obsahuje klasické Who singles ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’, ‘Baba O’Riley’ a ‘Behind Blue Eyes’ a je všeobecne považovaný za najlepšiu nahrávku kapely.

The Accidental Further Adventures of the Hundred-Year-Old Man
The sequel to Jonas Jonasson's international bestseller The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared
It all begins with a hot air balloon trip and three bottles of champagne. Allan and Julius are ready for some spectacular views, but they're not expecting to land in the sea and be rescued by a North Korean ship, and they could never have imagined that the captain of the ship would be harbouring a suitcase full of contraband uranium, on a nuclear weapons mission for Kim Jong-un ...
Soon Allan and Julius are at the centre of a complex diplomatic crisis involving world figures from the Swedish foreign minister to Angela Merkel and President Trump. Things are about to get very complicated ...
Praise for The Hundred-Year-Old Man:
`A mordantly funny and loopily freewheeling debut novel about ageing disgracefully' Sunday Times
`Imaginative, laugh-out-loud . . . a brilliant satire on the foibles of mankind' Daily Telegraph
