Nakonec přijde smrt

SWEET POISON

Spisovatel: Roberts D., Robinson 2002
Katalogové číslo: D8049

Death comes to dinner at the Duke of Mersham's, and so does a confidant of the new German chancellor Adolf Hitler, in this ingeniously crafted mystery novel set against the background of Anglo-German relations in the summer of 1935. Among the other guests at the duke's influential table are a pacifist bishop, a womanizing politician, a Canadian press lord and his troublesome daughter, and one of the duke's oldest friends-a man vehemently opposed to any accommodation on the part of the English to Hitler's regime-General Sir Alistair Craig VC. It is over the duke's excellent port that death strikes first, when the general may have mistaken a cyanide pill for his medication. The mystery behind the general's unanticipated death intrigues and challenges both Lord Edward Corinth, the duke's younger brother, and Verity Brown, a resourceful young journalist who has come to interview the duchess supposedly for Country Life but in reality for the communist Daily Worker. An unlikely pair, this scion of the aristocracy and young woman passionately committed to social justice cross their class lines and combine their considerable resources to uncover the cause of Sir Alistair's death-only to discover that virtually every guest, and the duke himself, had reason to want the general dead. Death meanwhile strikes again. And again. And this shrewd whodunit will keep readers guessing to the very end....brožovaná, výborný stav, v angličtine, 277 strán

Nakoniec príde smrť

Spisovatel: Christie Agatha, Mladé letá 1986
Katalogové číslo: J7717

Dej sa odohráva okolo roku 2000 pred n.l. v starovekom Egypte. Aj vtedy sa ľudia milovali a nenávideli, závideli si moc a bohatstvo a vedeli sa preň zabíjať. Neexistovali síce policajní inšpektori a nikto neskúmal odtlačky prstov, Agatha Christie sa však bez moderných kriminalistických postupov zaobíde. Vie do hĺbky vypracovať psychologickú motiváciu konania svojich postáv a pritom majstrovsky vykresliť atmosféru strachu, kde každý každého podozrieva a každý každého sa bojí. Takáto atmosféra panuje v rodine zádušného kňaza Imhotepa, ktorému umiera jeden člen rodiny za druhým a vždy to vyzerá ako nešťastná náhoda, prirodzená smrť alebo pomsta zo záhrobia... brožovaná, 215 strán, ilustroval František Hubel, pre čitateľov od 13 rokov,
