      INCLUDES A BONUS SHORT STORY BY LEE CHILD AND TESS GERRITSEN, STARRING JACK REACHER AND THE ENIGMATIC MAGGIE BIRD. The Summer Guests is a thrilling new mystery from a Sunday Times bestselling author. Maggie Bird's 'book group' consists of retired spies living quietly in the seaside town of Purity. This summer, they plan to indulge in reading and birdwatching, but trouble looms as summer guests arrive. Acting Police Chief Jo Thibodeau faces her own challenges with packed streets, bar brawls, and petty theft, compounded by the disappearance of a teenager near the lake. When a close friend becomes a prime suspect, Maggie and her Martini Club must set aside their leisurely pursuits to help. Jo grapples with a powerful family seeking answers and a meddlesome group of retirees. Together, can they navigate the complexities of the case and uncover one of the deadliest scandals their town has ever faced? This gripping tale has been described as 'The Thursday Murder Club on steroids.' Praised for her storytelling, the author captivates readers with an immersive and compelling narrative.

      Jana Melcerová vo svojej formálne výborne zvládnutej a myšlienkovo bohatej poézii akoby otvárala pred čitateľom či celým svetom tajomné izbietky ženskej duše, plné obáv, sklamaní či poznania, ale aj čistej radosti z malých i veľkých vecí života. Žmúri do tmy, no vidí v nej svetlo na križovatkách. Ako keď zatvoríme oči, pomyselne odstrihneme rušivé momenty a zameriame sa na vnútorný monológ. Inokedy zasa len necháme na seba pôsobiť rôzne vnemy a pýtame sa, čo to s nami robí, čo sa to v nás pohlo. Nie vždy to zistíme na prvý raz, ale jedným sme si istí - vidíme jasnejšie. Poéziu Jany Melcerovej, jej hľadanie a nachádzanie odľahčené jemným humorom i nešetrnou sebairóniou, dopĺňajú inšpiratívne čiernobiele fotografie Renáty Černayovej.
