For most of the last hundred years, Biloxi was known for its beaches, resorts, and seafood industry. But it had a darker side. It was also notorious for corruption and vice, everything from gambling, prostitution, bootleg liquor, drugs . . . even contract killings. The vice was controlled by a small cabal of mobsters, many of them rumoured to be members of the Dixie Mafia. Keith Rudy and Hugh Malco grew up in Biloxi in the sixties and were childhood friends. But as teenagers, their lives took them in different directions. Keith's father became a legendary prosecutor, determined to 'clean up the Coast.' Hugh's father became the 'Boss' of Biloxi's criminal underground. Keith went to law school and followed in his father's footsteps. Hugh preferred the nightlife and worked in his father's clubs. The two families were headed for a showdown, one that would happen in a courtroom. Rich with history and with a large cast of unforgettable characters, The Boys from Biloxi is a sweeping saga of two sons of immigrant families who grow up as friends, but ultimately find themselves in a knife-edge legal confrontation in which life itself hangs in the balance. In this novel, Grisham takes his powerful storytelling to the next level, his trademark twists and turns will keep you tearing through the pages until the stunning conclusion.

Winter 1993. The same day, in unclear circumstances, teenage siblings die. The police classify both deaths as tragic, independent of each other Easter 2013. After seven years of work at the Institute of Investigative Psychology in Huddersfield, Sasha Załuska returns to the coast. Paweł "Buli" Bławicki, the owner of the music club in Sopot, reports to the profiler. He suspects that his accomplice - former singer and author of the hit Girl from the North - wants to kill him. Załuska is to provide him with evidence for this. The profiler is reluctant to get involved. However, when the shooting takes place, Załuska is forced to take up the challenge. It soon turns out that the club murder is connected with the events of 1993, and the murdered knew who was to blame for the death of his siblings. One of the keys to solving the puzzle may be a song from years ago.

If Stella Fortuna means ‘lucky star,’ then life must have a funny sense of humour. Everybody in the Fortuna family knows the story of how the beautiful, fiercely independent Stella, who refused to learn to cook and who swore she would never marry, has escaped death time and time again. From her childhood in Italy, to her adulthood in America, death has seemed to pursue Stella. She has been burned, eviscerated and bludgeoned; she has choked, nearly fallen out of a window, and on one occasion, her life was only saved by a typo. However, even the best-known stories still have secrets to reveal . . . and even after a century, Stella’s is no exception. No woman survives seven or eight deaths without a reason. So, how did she? In a tale which spans nine decades, two continents, and one family’s darkest, deepest-buried truths, the answer awaits.

Polski If Stella Fortuna means ‘lucky star,’ then life must have a funny sense of humour. Everybody in the Fortuna family knows the story of how the beautiful, fiercely independent Stella, who refused to learn to cook and who swore she would never marry, has escaped death time and time again. From her childhood in Italy, to her adulthood in America, death has seemed to pursue Stella. She has been burned, eviscerated and bludgeoned; she has choked, nearly fallen out of a window, and on one occasion, her life was only saved by a typo. However, even the best-known stories still have secrets to reveal . . . and even after a century, Stella’s is no exception. No woman survives seven or eight deaths without a reason. So, how did she? In a tale which spans nine decades, two continents, and one family’s darkest, deepest-buried truths, the answer awaits. Jeśli Stella Fortuna znaczy „szczęśliwa gwiazda”, wówczas życie musi mieć zabawne poczucie humoru. Wszyscy w rodzinie Fortuny znają historię tego, jak piękna, bardzo niezależna Stella, która odmówiła nauki gotowania i przysięgła, że nigdy nie wyjdzie za mąż, ucieka przed śmiercią raz po raz. Od dzieciństwa we Włoszech, aż do dorosłości w Ameryce, śmierć zdawała się ścigać Stellę. Została spalona, wypatroszona i zbita; zakrztusiła się, prawie wypadła z okna, a pewnego razu jej życie uratowała tylko literówka. Jednak nawet najbardziej znane historie wciąż mają sekrety do ujawnienia. . . a nawet po stuleciu Stella nie jest wyjątkiem. Żadna kobieta nie przeżyje siedmiu lub ośmiu zgonów bez powodu. Jak ona się czuje? W opowieści obejmującej dziewięć dekad, dwa kontynenty i najciemniejsze, najgłębiej ukryte prawdy jednej rodziny, odpowiedź czeka.

News people have a saying: 'If it bleeds, it leads'. And a bomb at Albert Macready Middle School is guaranteed to lead any bulletin. Holly Gibney of the Finders Keepers detective agency is working on the case of a missing dog - and on her own need to be more assertive - when she sees the footage on TV. But when she tunes in again, to the late-night report, she realises there is something not quite right about the correspondent who was first on the scene. So begins 'If It Bleeds', a stand-alone sequel to the No. 1 bestselling THE OUTSIDER featuring the incomparable Holly on her first solo case - and also the riveting title story in Stephen King's brilliant new collection. Dancing alongside are three more wonderful long stories from this 'formidably versatile author' (The Sunday Times) - 'Mr Harrigan's Phone', 'The Life of Chuck' and 'Rat'. All four display the richness of King's storytelling with grace, humour, horror and breathtaking suspense. A fascinating Author's Note gives us a wonderful insight into the origin of each story and the writer's unparalleled imagination

Misery Chastain is dead. Paul Sheldon has just killed her – with relief, with joy. Misery made him rich. She was the heroine of a string of bestsellers. And now he wants to get on to some real writing. That's when the car accident happens, and he wakes up in pain in a strange bed. But it isn't hospital. Annie Wilkes has pulled him from the wreck, brought him to her remote mountain home, splinted and set his mangled legs. The good news was that Annie was a nurse and has pain-killing drugs. The bad news was that she has long been Paul's Number One Fan. And when she finds out what Paul has done to Misery, she doesn't like it. She doesn't like it at all.

Olivia fled her abusive marriage to return to her hometown and take over the family beekeeping business when her son Asher was six. Now, impossibly, her baby is six feet tall and in his last year of high school, a kind, good-looking, popular ice hockey star with a tiny sprite of a new girlfriend. Lily also knows what it feels like to start over - when she and her mother relocated to New Hampshire it was all about a fresh start. She and Asher couldn't help falling for each other, and Lily feels happy for the first time. But can she trust him completely? Then Olivia gets a phone call - Lily is dead, and Asher is arrested on a charge of murder. As the case against him unfolds, she realises he has hidden more than he's shared with her. And Olivia knows firsthand that the secrets we keep reflect the past we want to leave behind... and that we rarely know the people we love well as we think we do.
