Cień znad jeziora

Adam Zalewski

W walce z siłami nadprzyrodzonymi nigdy nie bądź pewny swojego zwycięstwa. Mieszkańcy Cedar Peak powoli wracają do normalności po serii tragicznych i nie do końca wyjaśnionych wydarzeń. Siły zamieszkujące pobliskie jezioro tylko na to czekają. Uśpiona czujność mieszkańców skłania je do kolejnego ataku. Czego oczekują wodne duchy? I czy jeśli dostaną to, czego pragną, przestaną gnębić niewinnych ludzi? Kontynuacja powieści "Biała wiedźma", z udziałem głównego bohatera "Rowerzysty". Pozycja obowiązkowa dla miłośników grozy budowanej przez Stephena Kinga.

Cierpliwość pająka

Andrea Camilleri

Mieszkańcami Vigaty wstrząsa wiadomość o uprowadzeniu pięknej studentki Susanny. Rzecz jest o tyle dziwna, że powszechnie wiadomo, iż jej rodzina nie będzie w stanie zebrać żądanego okupu. Sprawa staje się jeszcze dziwniejsza, gdy porywacze, zamiast starać się jak najdyskretniej kontaktować z ojcem porwanej dziewczyny, czynią to za pomocą telewizji. Komisarz Montalbano zaczyna dostrzegać w tej sprawie przemyślną, pełną fałszywych tropów intrygę utkaną przez cierpliwego pająka. Lecz nawet w konstrukcji tak na pozór doskonałej jak pajęcza sieć można znaleźć jeden słaby punkt.
