PERRI O’SHAUGHNESSY – DREAMS OF THE DEAD
In a spellbinding new thriller, New York Times bestselling author Perri O’Shaughnessy plunges the audacious yet all-too-human Nina Reilly back into the center of a murderous family game and reawakens a very real nightmare she had every reason to believe was dead…and buried.
In addition to coping with her demanding, sometimes creepy clients, Nina Reilly is dealing with prickly personal issues involving her sixteen-year-old son, Bob, his estranged father, and her investigator, confidante, and sometimes lover, Paul van Wagoner.
Then, in walks disaster. The millionaire owner of a Tahoe ski resort, Philip Strong, is the father of Jim Strong: a sociopath who devastated many innocent lives, including Nina’s when she defended Jim again charges of murder two years earlier.
He shattered her life, then vanished. Paul van Wagoner made sure of that.
Now in negotiations to sell his ski resort, Philip has received a letter purportedly from his fugitive son in extradition-free Brazil, demanding his share of the profits. Nina is certain it’s a con, but to prove that means exposing the secrets of someone very close to her. But when two local women are murdered, Nina begins to question their links to her client and the truth about Jim Strong’s sudden disappearance.
As Nina’s worst fears flood back, with time running out, she’s about to discover that the dreams of the dead can still destroy the living. With its breakneck pace, pulsing human drama, and serpentine twists, Dreams of the Dead once again establishes why O’Shaughnessy has been hailed as “a master of the legal thriller” (Vincent Bugliosi).

Petar I: Kralj oslobodilac
Dušan M. Babac
Monografska publikacija Petar I: Kralj oslobodilac autora Dušana M. Bapca predstavlja političko-istorijsku analizu okolnosti koje su pratile život i vladavinu jedne od najistaknutijih i najsvetlijih figura srpske istorije, kralja Petra Prvog Karađorđevića. Autor polazi od zaključka da je, o čoveku koji je ostavio dubok trag u novijoj istoriji Srbije, relativno malo pisano. Oslanjajući se na pouzdanu arhivsku građu i radove uglednih domaćih autora, i pre svega na objektivno i činjenično sagledavanje istorijskog konteksta, autor nastoji da stvori pouzdanu sliku o njegovom detinjstvu i mladosti, školovanju, životu u emigraciji, materijalnom položaju, duhovnim težnjama, političkim shvatanjima.
U našoj savremenoj istoriji jedini je kralj Petar bio ustavotvorni parlamentarni monarh i demokrata u pravom smislu te reči, i bez obzira na činjenicu da je vladao pre više od 100 godina, njegov primer može biti veoma inspirativan i uzor i u današnje vreme, naročito kada se uzme u obzir i njegova lična skromnost koja se graničila sa asketizmom.
U životu kralja Petra jasno se izdvajaju tri celine: život u izgnanstvu, u otadžbini i rat i poslednje godine. Petar I: Kralj oslobodilac vredan je doprinos istoriografiji i dragocena istorijska biografija, koja kod objektivnog i dobronamernog čitaoca podstiče otrežnjenje i buđenje zdrave nacionalne svesti, jer se ne zasniva na štetnim euforičnim mitovima, već na zrelom i odmerenom sagledavanju i uvažavanju nacionalne istorije. Činjenica da je monografska publikacija štampana kao dvojezično izdanje na srpskom i engleskom jeziku, i omogućuje da najsvetlije stranice naše savremene istorije postanu dostupne čitaocima širom sveta.
Poseban doprinos pomenute monografije je vizuelni materijal koji je prati, tim pre što nikada do sada nije objavljena ni jedna ilustrovana monografija o kralju Petru. Preko 300 fotografija iz epohe, mahom nepoznatih široj javnosti, predstavljaju istorijski izvor prvog reda. Takođe, za potrebe izrade pomenute monografije, prikupljeni su portreti Petra Karađorđevića koji se čuvaju u svim muzejima u Republici Srbiji i Republici Srpskoj, ali i na širem prostoru bivše Jugoslavije, kao i u privatnim zbirkama. Na taj način će čitaocima knjige biti omogućeno da vide portrete čiji autori su bili Arsenije Petrović, Uroš Predić, Vlaho Bukovac, Nikola Milojević, Špiro Bocarić, Vsevold Guljevič, Vladimir Becić, Bogosav Vojnović – Pelikan, Frensis Oven Selsburi, Valdo Berbe i drugi. Najveći deo pomenutog materijala do sada nije bio publikovan.
U zasebnom poglavlju monografije prikazani su spomenici kralju Petru, dela najistaknutijih domaćih vajara toga vremena, koji su bili podignuti posle njegove smrti i koji su najvećim delom uništeni za vreme Drugog svetskog rata ili neposredno po njegovom završetku.
Naposletku, treba napomenuti da u monografiji po prvi put imamo publikovane fotografije nekih ličnih predmeta kralja Petra, poput venčanih kruna kneza Petra i kneginje Zorke sa Cetinja iz 1883, triptih ikona koju je kralj Petar dobio na poklon od ruskog cara Nikolaja II i koju je svuda nosio sa sobom, i u povlačenju preko Albanije, dva molitvena krsta koja je poklonio manastiru Hilandar prilikom posete 1910, prvi rendgenski snimak u Srbiji iz 1905. godine, na kome se vidi šaka kralja Petra sa zaostalim kuršumom iz francusko-pruskog rata, knjiga episkopa žičkog Save Dečanca „Vladalac i narod – krunisanje i miropomazanje vladaoca i dužnosti njegove i narodne”, sa posvetom kralju Petru, dvorski meniji, pozivnica za slavu, eks librisi, naravno i krunidbene insignije iz 1904. godine i još mnogo toga.
Petar Kočić – JAZAVAC PRED SUDOM PRIPOVETKE
Petar Kočić rođen je u bosanskom selu Stričići, na Zmijanju i u svom delu daje potpunu sliku krajiških pejzaža i teškog života bosanskog seljaka. On je ujedno pesnik sirovog života i ljubavi koja je u njegovom delu glavna pokretačka snaga ali i zla kob. U drami Jazavac pred sudom u liku prkosnog seljaka Davida Štrpca opevani su svi poniženi i ugnjeteni koji uzalud traže pravdu. Iako u humorističkom okviru, ova drama je u stvari oštra satira i kritika vlasti.

PETE DEXTER – THE PAPERBOY
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“An eerie and beautiful novel . . . Its secrets continue to reveal themselves long after the book has been finished.”—The New York Times Book Review
The sun is rising over Moat County, Florida, when Sheriff Thurmond Call is found on the highway, gutted like an alligator. A local redneck is tried, sentenced, and set to fry. Then Ward James, hotshot investigative reporter for the Miami Times, returns to his rural hometown with a death row femme fatale who promises him the story of the decade. She’s armed with explosive evidence, aiming to free—and meet—her convicted “fiancé.” With Ward’s disillusioned younger brother Jack as their driver, they barrel down Florida’s back roads and seamy places in search of The Story, racing flat out into a shocking head-on collision between character and fate as truth takes a back seat to headline news.
Now a major motion picture directed by Lee Daniels starring Matthew McConaughey, Zac Efron, David Oyelowo, and Macy Gray, with John Cusack and Nicole Kidman
