Šišmiš - Jo Nesbo

Mlada Norvežanka, zvijezda televizijskih sapunica, koja je došla u Australiju kako bi radila kao konobarica, pronađena je mrtva na obali ocana. Svi tragovi upućuju na ubojstvo. Harry Hole, detektiv iz policijske uprave u Oslu, odlazi u Sydney da pomogne australskoj policiji u istrazi. Iako mu je namijenjena uloga promatrača, pasivnost Harryu nije u krvi: uključuje se u istragu, a na kraju je u slučaj umiješan i na osobnoj razini jer se zaljubljuje u Birgittu - prijateljicu ubijene djevojke. Njegovo fizičko i duhovno putovanje Australijom sve ga više poveuje s aboridžinskim mitom o čovjeku šišmišu koji za sobom vuče trag smrti. Šišmiš je prvi roman u serijalu o Harryu Holeu, detektivu koji je Nesboa učinio planetarno popularnim. 

Five Seven Five (The Boy with Words) (Volume 1) - C E Wilson

Take only what can be used. Take only what won’t be missed. The Creators are watching all of us. White Frost lives in a world cloaked in darkness and ignorance. While most people in her society are content to live in fearful peace, White’s cousin brings her words from the mysterious Unknown. Strange collections of written words that tease her that there may be more to the world than candlelight and dank hallways. But when tragedy strikes, White can no longer rely on the words to give her solace. She must discover what lies beyond the only world she’s ever known… no matter the cost. Eventually, White finds her way to the skies and there she discovers that the tantalizing clues of her words are only pale reflections of the massive and wondrous world above. Colors she never thought possible. Blinding light. And an impossible being who may or may not be the Creator of it all. But this information comes at a price White Frost is not sure she can pay. White’s hunger for knowledge proves to be her greatest strength and weakness as she strives to learn more. But as she learns, she has to wonder – is there such a thing as too much information? And what will happen as it brings her closer to a being who could destroy everything she’s ever known? Find out in Five Seven Five, the first book in a two part series entitled The Boy with Words.
