New in the series from New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels.

Lightning-struck sleuth Harper Connelly and her stepbrother Tolliver take a break from looking for the dead to visit the two little girls they both think of as sisters. But, as always happens when they travel to Texas, memories of their horrible childhood resurface.

To make matters worse, Tolliver learns from his older brother that their father is out of jail and trying to reestablish contact with other family members. Tolliver wants no part of the man- but he may not have a choice in the matter.

Soon, family secrets ensnare them both, as Harper finally discovers what happened to her missing sister, Cameron, so many years before.

And what she finds out will change her world forever.

After enduring torture and the loss of loved ones during the brief but deadly Faery War, Sookie Stackhouse is hurt and she's angry. Just about the only bright spot in her life is the love she thinks she feels for vampire Eric Northman. But he's under scrutiny by the new Vampire King because of their relationship. And as the political implications of the Shifters coming out are beginning to be felt, Sookie's connection to the Shreveport pack draws her into the debate. Worst of all, though the door to Faery has been closed, there are still some Fae on the human side-and one of them is angry at Sookie. Very, very angry…

Журналиста Диму Полуянова пригласили сыграть небольшую роль в фильме по мотивам его книги. Попав в киношную среду, даже Дима, многое повидавший в силу профессии, был удивлен свободой нравов и кипением страстей как на съемочной площадке, так и за ее пределами. Маститый режиссер Прокопенко крутил роман с исполнительницей главной роли Ольгой Волочковской, но в его номер захаживали и другие актрисы. А колоритный актер Никола Кряжин отчаянно ревновал Ольгу, легко променявшую его на более выгодную пассию… Убийство режиссера прямо в купе поезда, которым они возвращались со съемок в Питере, стало для всей группы настоящим шоком. Ведь убийца – один из них…

Эрик-Эмманюэль Шмитт – мировая знаменитость, пожалуй, самый читаемый и играемый на сцене французский автор. Это блестящий и вместе с тем глубокий писатель, которого волнуют фундаментальные вопросы морали и смысла жизни, темы смерти, религии. Вниманию читателя предлагается его роман «Евангелие от Пилата» в варианте, существенно переработанном автором. «Через несколько часов они придут за мной. Они уже готовятся… Плотник ласково поглаживает крест, на котором завтра мне суждено пролить кровь. Они думают захватить меня врасплох… а я их жду». Три дня спустя, пасхальным утром, Понтий Пилат начинает самое странное расследование в истории человечества. Он пытается установить, куда делось тело распятого Иешуа, ибо поверить, что труп бесследно исчез и люди видели покойного живым, невозможно.
