Fra 79,00 kr. Marts. April. Maj. I begyndelsen af hver måned findes en ung kvinde dræbt, men hvorfor? Tre uforklarlige mord på så kort tid er mildt sagt bekymrende. Samtidig bliver et byrådsmedlem stadig mere overbevist om, at nogen er efter ham. Hans sommerhus er brændt ned til jorden, et lig dukker op under hans veranda, og til sidst bliver hans fly aflyst efter en flyinspektion. Er nogen virkelig ude efter ham, eller er det bare tilfældigheder?Advokat Inga Lisa Östergren er overbevist om, at de mange hændelser langt fra er tilfældige. Men for at finde ud af om der er en forbindelse mellem drabene, må både hun og kriminalkommissær Krister Strömbom grave dybt.Staffan Westerlund (1942-2012) var en svensk forfatter, jurist og professor i miljøret.

56,99 kr. Za każdą prawdą stoją dwa kłamstwa.Podczas uroczystości otwarcia Jarmarku św. Dominika w Gdańsku przypadkowy turysta znajduje w jednej z bram zwłoki młodego chłopaka. Zabezpieczająca miejsce zbrodni, świeżo upieczona policjantka Melania Spałek, prywatnie córka prezydenta Sopotu, od początku ma złe przeczucia w tej sprawie. I słusznie – będzie to dla niej bowiem początek serii wyjątkowo niefortunnych wydarzeń, w które zostanie wplątana za sprawą romansu ze znanym w trójmiejskim półświatku biznesmenem Mariuszem Kowalskim. Wkrótce okaże się, że ten sprytny mafioso ma wobec niej własny, zaskakujący plan. Plan, który może mu pozwolić na zrealizowanie bardzo dochodowej inwestycji...„Hipodrom" to wciągający kryminał, w którym główne role grają kłamstwo, układy i wielowarstwowa korupcja. A w tle – znany nadmorski kurort, niewygodne koligacje rodzinne oraz szokująca śmierć prezydenta.Tłum gapiów skupił się wzdłuż Długiego Targu. Wielki, karmazynowy kogut zapiał doniosłym głosem, po czym odtrąbiono rozpoczęcie Jarmarku św. Dominika. Zgodnie z siedemsetpięćdziesięcioośmioletnią tradycją gdańską starówkę zalała melodia ratuszowego karylionu, porywając do tańca zgraję klaunów, cyrkowców i średniowiecznych kupców. Oczy dzieci uśmiechały się do lizaków rozdawanych garściami, a barwne postacie na szczudłach zrzucały na rozbawioną gawiedź deszcz konfetti.W tym gwarze nikt spośród rozbawionego tłumu nie usłyszał okrzyku przerażenia dochodzącego z bocznej uliczki. Wiedziony ciekawością turysta natknął się w bramie na ciało młodego mężczyzny. Sparaliżowany widokiem krwi przez dłuższą chwilę nie mógł oderwać oczu od przerażającej sceny.Marta Girtler-Motyka - polska pisarka, autorka „Hipodromu". Autorka powieści bardzo ceni sobie swoją prywatność i pragnie, by informacje na jej temat pozostały tajemnicą...
