От автора: Вы держите в руках самую искреннюю книгу. Каждая её страничка – душевный стриптиз. Но не пытайтесь отделить реальность от домысла – бесполезно. Роман «33» символичен, потому что последняя страница рукописи отпечатана как раз в день моего 33-летия. Рассказы и повесть написаны чуть позже. В 37 я решила-таки издать книгу. Зачем? Чтобы оставить после себя что-то, кроме постов-репостов, статусов, фоточек в соцсетях. Читайте, возможно, Вам даже понравится |

Short story. A Death tells the story of Jim Trusdale, not the sharpest tool in the shed, who is accused of killing 10-year-old Rebecca Cline on her birthday and stealing her silver dollar. The story is set in 1889 in the Dakotas, before it became part of the United States, as referenced in the story. It’s not a scary story, but one can be filled with horror at the thought of how justice worked in the Old West |

The writing team that delivered the bestselling Faithful, about the 2004 Red Sox championship season, takes readers to the ballpark again, and to a world beyond, in an eBook original to be published on August 21, 2012. Dean Evers, an elderly widower, sits in front of the television with nothing better to do than waste his leftover evenings watching baseball. It’s Rays/Mariners, and David Price is breezing through the line-up. Suddenly, in a seat a few rows up beyond the batter, Evers sees the face of someone from decades past, someone who shouldn’t be at the ballgame, shouldn’t be on the planet. And so begins a parade of people from Evers’s past, all of them occupying that seat behind home plate. Until one day Dean Evers sees someone even eerier… |

First on time his financial caper — NOT A PENNY MORE, NOT A PENNY LESS. Then a political thriller — SHALL WE TELL THE PRESIDENT? Then, in the autumn of 1979, KANE AND ABEL, the saga of two men from totally different backgrounds that topped the bestseller charts all round the world. Now Jeffrey Archer has taken up a new challenge with this first collection of short stories. The locations move from New York and London to Mexico and Nigeria, while the subjects are equally varied. In “One Night Stand” two friends fall under the spell of a New York beauty and decide between themselves which one will try to seduce her — with unexpected results. In “The Chinese Statue” a high-ranking British diplomat visits the workplace of a leading Chinese sculptor and finds that an off-hand remark is taken with total seriousness, and that he becomes the possessor of a priceless work of art. Different again in tone and subject, “Broken Routine” traces the journey home of an insurance claims advisor, one Septimus Horatio Cornwallace, and his encounter with a punk rocker on the 5.27 to Sevenoaks. In the final Story, “Old Love”, Jeffrey Archer gives us probably his finest piece of writing to date, with an account of two young undergraduates at Oxford in the thirties, whose biller rivalry turns to intense love, with an ending that will haunt you. Each of these tales shows Jeffrey Archer’s talents as a short story teller, and, as befits the form, Archer uses the stories to build up a small cast of characters and then shock the reader with an unexpected final twist. Few people will guess the endings to any of the tales, and everyone will have his own favourite; while one may safely prophecy that with this archer each story unerringly hits its mark |

A man decides to visit his mistress. But on arrival, he sees her embracing another man. He waits for the interloper to leave, then goes in, starts an argument with the woman, strikes her and it results in her death. Having left the flat without being seen, he tips off the police about the interloper, who is charged. Has he achieved The perfect Murder? This is just the first of the tantalising to be asked in twelve superb works of fiction by the greatest of modern storytellers, Jeffrey Archer. A game of chess with a sexy stranger; a violent argument in a golf club bar; a wine expert challenged to a tasting with a bizarre difference are some of the other intriguing starting-points for a set of cunningly constructed and marvellously entertaining stories from the author of such classic novels as A MATTER OF HONOUR, KANE AND ABEL and NOT PENNY MORE, NOT A PENNY LESS. Told with wit and sophistication, nerve-tingling suspense and champagne style, here are a dozen mysterious adventures that keep the pages turning at breakneck speed |

From America’s greatest chronicler of life lived at its extremes and the bestselling author of “The Perfect Storm,” “War,” and “A Death in Belmont” comes a rare work of fiction, an intimate, brutal account of a young American journalist trying to survive his latest assignment. Daniel wanted to escape the Midwest and its small-town newspapers, but he didn’t sign up for this: a war-torn West African city strung in barbed wire, its embassies abandoned, child soldiers brandishing guns in the streets. Andre, the veteran photographer Daniel is paired with, is conversant in all of it—the jungle, the locals, and especially the attendant risks of covering war—and pushes them to go deeper into the conflict, to get to the front lines. Yet in a battle like this, there are no reliable lines of safety. Western rules do not apply, and atrocity is color-blind. Just when Daniel thinks he’s convinced his fearless partner to retreat, they arrive at what could be the end of the road for both of them. This powerful short story, at once modern and timeless, combines the best elements of classic war literature and psychological horror. Junger’s unforgettable journey into the heart of darkness confronts man’s unrelenting savagery and his unpredictable capacity for cowardice—and courage. “Junger’s great eye and honesty about the gamut of emotions that come into play in combat leave one swerving between highs, lows and the surreal.” “Those seeking insight into war’s innards will appreciate the details Mr. Junger so sharply and respectfully delivers.” |

Какое горе? – Я не признаю это горем: у ней есть сын, очень молодой человек, и этот молодой человек на далеком севере. Мало ли молодых людей на далеком севере!.. А между тем она мне надрывает душу своими стенаниями и тем рассеянным и тяжелым взглядом своим, который не сводит по целым часам с его писем, с его фотографии, с его наивных игрушек, уцелевших от мирного детства…» |

The sexes battle, the mind feuds with emotions it cannot control and crime extorts and strikes and kills but it does not pay in this collection of stories by Rex Stout at the outset of his celebrated career in mystery and suspense. Again and again in these tales taken from the pages of pulps that originally published him — from popular magazines like All Story Weekly, the Black Cat and the Smart Set — the creator of the immortal Nero Wolfe proves himself to be the master of the sudden reversal and unexpected revelation as he probes the thwarted heart, the wounded soul and the criminal intelligence |
