Niekas nebūtų nustebęs, pamatęs gražų bronzinį Arlenos Stiuart kūną, gulintį paplūdimyje kniūbsčią. Bet šį kartą saulės nebuvo... Ir Arlena gulėjo pasmaugta. Nuo pat Arlenos atvykimo į kurortą, Erkiulis Puaro pajuto pajūrio ore tvyrant seksualinę įtampą. Bet ar galėjo šis "nusikaltimas dėl aistros" būti iš anksto suplanuotas ir slėpti kažką žymiai blogesnio?

Aleksandrs Čakovskis Blokāde - pirmā grāmata Aleksandra Čakovska romāns «Blokāde» ir plašs, episks stāstījums par Lielo Tēvijas karu, un tā galvenais varonis ir Ļeņingrada un ļeņingradieši. Stāstījums sākas ar pirmskara laiku. Militāro darbinieku apspriede Kremlī, Somijas kampaņas novērtēšana no militāra viedokļa, Staļina runa. Hitleriskās Vācijas gatavošanās karam pret Padomju Savienību. Molotova vizīte Berlīnē, un Hitlera iecere šis vizītes laikā ar priekšlikumiem par kopīgu pasaules pārdalīšanu iemidzināt Padomju Savienības modrību. Aizvien trauksmaināks stāvoklis uz robežas. Un liktenīgais 1941. gada 22. jūnija rīts. Staļina apmulsums un mokošās pārdomas: kā tas varēja notikt? Kas vainīgs? Ar katru nodaļu situācija kļūst spriegāka un dramatiskāka. Darbība notiek te Ļeņingradā, te Maskavā, te Berlīnē, te atkal Ļeņingradā vai tās pievārtē. Jau pašā sākumā lasītāju simpātijas iegūst majors Zvjagincevs — mazliet neapvaldīts, bet gudrs un drosmīgs cilvēks, kas ar sirdi un dvēseli uzticīgs savam karavīra pienākumam. Aizkustinoša ir Veras meitenigā, dziļi nesav t'gā mīlestība pret Anatoliju. Pārsteidzošs un satriecošs ir pašpārliecinātā Anatolija vājums, kas parādās pārbaudījuma brīdī. Ļoti atšķirīgs bijis strādnieka Koroļova un arhitekta akadēmiķa Vaļicka mūžs. Tāpat atšķirīga ir arī viņu attieksme pret dzīvi.

Aleksandrs Čakovskis Blokāde Romāns II grāmata Aleksandra Čakovska «Blokādes» otrā grāmata turpina plašo, episko stāstījumu par Ļeņingradu Liela Tēvijas kara dienās, Ļeņina pilsētas likteni, tās varonīgo pretošanos rādot ciešā kopsakarā ar visu otrā pasaules kara norisi un ši laika posma starptautiskajiem notikumiem. Grāmatā mēs atkal sastopamies ar Padomju Savienības un citu lielvalstu vadītājiem, ar visā pasaulē pazīstamiem politiskiem un militāriem darbiniekiem. Ī sam liecinieki tam, kā sāk veidoties antihitleriskā koalīcija, un ari tam, kā hitleriskās Vācijas vadībā mostas pirmās šaubas par kara plānu pareizrunu un zibenskara izdošanos un kā Hitlers visiem līdzekļiem pūlas šis šaubas izkliedēt. Līdzas sižeta līnijai, kas attēlo reālus notikumus un vēsturiskas personas, tālāk risinās stāstījums par «vēstures ierindniekiem», ar kuriem esam jau iepazinušies «Blokādes» pirmajā grāmatā. Savas «ugunskristības» piedzīvo majors Zvjagincevs, un lasītāja sirds ne vienreiz vien sažņaudzas bailēs un gaidās — kas notiks ar šo drosmīgo, reizē skarbo un maigo cilvēku? Grūti ir ceļi, kurus izstaigā vecais arhitekts Vaļickis, kas lasītājam kļūst aizvien simpātiskāks. Par Veru mēs uzzinām, ka viņa .. . Nē, tas lai paliek nepateikts — būs interesantāk lasīt grāmatu. Tāpat nekā nebildīsim par turpmākajām Anatolija gaitām. Romāna pirmajā grāmatā mēs iepazināmies ar Hitlera adjutantu Danvicu. Kara sākuma dienās redzējām viņu kopā ar savu vienību drāžamies uz priekšu — aizvien tuvāk Ļeņingradai. Viņu iedvesmoja nešaubīga ticība Vācijas zibenīgajai uzvarai un Hitlera stratēģijas ģenialitātei... Tagad Danvics ir ievainots, fiziski nevarīgs un morāli nomākts. Cīņā ar daudz vājāk apbruņoto Zvjaginceva sapieru bataljonu viņa tankisti cietuši sakāvi. Ļeņingrada joprojām ir reizē tuvu un tomēr ... ļoti tālu. Vai tiešām fīrers kaut ko nebūtu paredzējis, kaut kur būtu kļūdījies? Danvicam tā ir drausmīga doma, bet to atvairīt kļūst aizvien grūtāk. Jāpiebilst, ka «Blokādes» otrajai grāmatai vēl sekos trešā un ceturtā. Trešā grāmata jau iznākusi, un pašreiz top tās tulkojums latviešu valodā. Ceturtās grāmatas žurnāla variants, domājams, krievu valoda tiks publicēts nākamā gada pirmajā pusē.

Aleksandrs Čakovskis Blokāde Romāns IV grāmata Aleksandra Čakovska romāna «Blokāde» ceturtajā grāmatā, tāpat kā pirmajās trijās, lasītājam paveras plaša notikumu panorāma. Ļeņingradiešu varonību vienā no blokādes visgrūtākajiem posmiem autors parāda kopsakarā ar visas padomju tautas varonīgo cīņu pret fašistiskajiem iebrucējiem. Ceturtā grāmata atspoguļo notikumus laikā no 1941. gada 29. septembra līdz 20. novembrim. Lasītājs atkal tiekas gan ar romāna galvenajiem literārajiem varoņiem, kas tieši piedalās Ļeņingra-das aizsardzībā, gan ar tā laika ievērojamākajiem padomju politiskajiem un militārajiem darbiniekiem. Viņš arī uzzina to, kas tajās dienās notika Hitlera mītnē, ar ko bija nodarbināts pats fīrers un viņa tuvākie palīgi. Ceturtā grāmata bija iecerēta kā pēdējā. Taču romāna tapšanas norisē autoram kļuva skaidrs, ka četrās samērā nelielās grāmatās viņš nespēj ietvert visu to notikumu panorāmu, ko viņš sācis radīt lasītājam. 1974. gada beigās žurnāls «Znamja» sāka publicēt «Blokādes» piektās grāmatas pirmo daļu. Šogad periodikā gaidāma otrā daļa. izdevniecība «Liesma» Riga 1975 Александр Борисович Чаковский БЛОКАДА Роман, книга четвертая Советский писатель Москва 1973 No krievu valodas tulkojusi Anna Mūkina Mākslinieks Georgijs Kiuloļs © Tulkojums latviešu valodā, «Liesma», 1975

Vācu militāristi kaldina plānus, kā ātrāk pakļaut Padomju zemi un iznīcināt padomju tautu.

Redzam, kā pamazām zūd vācu armijas kareivju un komandieru pārliecība, ka hitleriskā Vācija nav neuzvarama. Blokādes lokā ieslēgtā Ļeņingrada, šķiet lemta bojāejai. Ar pārcilvēciskām pūlēm un milzīgu gribasspēku līdz nāvei pārmocītie ļeņingradieši cīnās par savu pilsētu, pret fašistiskajiem iebrucējiem, līdz izdodas salauzt blokādes loku.

Blondes’ Requiem is a thriller with a surprise, by a writer who can always hold the suspense to the end. When Marc Spewack, private investigator, arrives in Cranville, he is aware of the terror, violence and sudden death that are to come. He has been engaged by Lewes Wolf, Czar of Cranville, to investigate a series of mysterious disappearances. No less than five young girls have vanished without trace, and the panic-stricken citizens of Cranville are demanding immediate action to find the girls and bring their kidnapper to justice. Wolf is determined to be elected mayor of Cranville and he has only hired Spewack to gain favour with the voters. The two other candidates for the election, Esslinger, the City’s mortician, and Starkey, a gambler, also make plans to find the missing girls. It soon becomes obvious that whoever is the first to solve these mysterious disappearances will become mayor. Esslinger engages Audrey Sheridan, a woman investigator, and Starkey relies on the crooked police chief to find the missing girts. The case is complicated enough by itself without rival investigators stealing each other’s clues and double-crossing each other at every turn of the game. Despite these handicaps, Marc Spewack succeeds in breaking the case. The story is full of fast dramatic action, grotesque situations and weird characters who will leave the reader with an eerie sensation he will not soon forget

This killer dreams in shades of death… In each of her New York Times bestselling novels, critically acclaimed author Kay Hooper has led readers to unforgettably chilling encounters with fear and evil. Now, in her latest thriller, she takes us on a terrifying manhunt for a serial killer no ordinary cops can stop – a psychopath who seems to step out of a living nightmare. He's the kind of killer we instinctively fear the most. A killer without boundaries, without conscience, without any fear of being caught. And his latest victim is terrifying proof that no one is safe: the daughter of a powerful U.S. senator. Now, with the national media calling for justice and a grief-stricken father seeking vengeance, Bishop and his FBI Special Crimes Unit find themselves in a unique situation. This time even psychic cops aren't enough to stop evil. Aid comes in the form of a fledgling civilian organization of unorthodox crime stoppers. Operating outside of any government oversight, without sanction or official authority, they are comprised of a membership every bit as talented and eccentric as Bishop's SCU – if not more so. And that is no coincidence. For Bishop helped launch this organization barely two years before. Dani Justice knows all about monsters. They haunt her nightmares – and her life. But she never expected to find herself doggedly on the trail of a real flesh-and-blood predator so cunning, he's eluded the best law enforcement could send up against him; so deadly, he doesn't hesitate to kill even a senator's daughter. Or a cop. Dani doesn't want to hunt this killer. She doesn't want to risk the life she's made for herself, or her hard-won peace. But she doesn't have a choice. Because his bloody rampage has hit far too close to home. Because Dani alone commands a weapon powerful enough to destroy him. And because Dani knows something even Bishop doesn't. Dani knows how the hunt ends. It ends in fire. And blood. And death. What she doesn't know is who will survive
