Stephen Booth Libri

S přesvědčením, že překladatel má sloužit autorovi (a že to v českém básnickém překladatelství bývá příliš často naopak), předkládá Miloslav Uličný veřejnosti své verze 154 Shakespearových Sonetů, v nichž se snaží najít cestu mezi adekvátností (věrností originálu) a přijatelností (českým územ). Občas užije archaismus - vždyť autor ty své cukrové znělky napsal před více než čtyřmi sty lety -, ale nikdy nechce lacině aktualizovat, přidávat na expresivitě či histriónsky dramatizovat nebo naopak šedivě nivelizovat styl génia. V jeho službách chce být i služebníkem českého čtenáře, který má zajisté právo poznat kteréhokoliv cizojazyčného autora nikoli v přestrojení, nýbrž v šatu, jaký měl na sobě ve chvíli, kdy promlouval svou mateřštinou.

Packed with nerve-jangling suspense and moody atmosphere, and featuring two of the most appealing heroes in modern crime fiction, The Devil's Edge is a thriller to rival the very best of Peter Robinson and Peter James

For fans of Broadchurch, Louise Penny, and Peter Robinson comes a spellbinding new novel from internationally bestselling author Stephen Booth Residents of the Peak District are used to tourists descending on its soaring hills and brooding valleys. However, this summer brings a different kind of visitor to the idyllic landscape, leaving behind bodies and secrets. A series of suicides throughout the Peaks throws Detective Inspector Ben Cooper and his team in Derbyshire’s E Division into a race against time to find a connection to these seemingly random acts — with no way of predicting where the next body will turn up. Meanwhile, in Nottingham Detective Sergeant Diane Fry finds a key witness has vanished . . . But what are the mysterious Secrets of Death? And is there one victim whose fate wasn’t suicide at all?

Detectives Fry and Cooper return in another supremely atmospheric Peak District thriller, perfect for fans of Peter Robinson and Reginald Hill.

An atmospheric new Fry and Cooper thriller for fans of Peter Robinson and Reginald Hill.

Detectives Ben Cooper and Diane Fry struggle to unravel a bizarre mystery involving the death of a young female cyclist, whose body is found in a remote region of England in the middle of a prehistoric ring of stones called the Nine Virgins.

'The sun had dropped over the edge of Irontongue Hill so that the snow-covered moor was in shadow ... but Marie Tennent would never see the dawn.' Marie's was not the only body lying undiscovered under the Peak District snow that January morning – nor the first. In 1945, the wreckage of a bomber, full of dead crewmen, was found on Irontongue Hill. The missing pilot was declared responsible, but why would a decorated hero desert? His granddaughter is now determined to uncover the truth and DC Ben Cooper is sufficiently intrigued to offer to help. To his boss Diane Fry, investigating two frozen bodies found on the moors, her colleague's interest is entirely unprofessional. But the past has a way of influencing the present and before either knows it, a long-cold trail in the dead of winter has grown dangerously hot…

A death in the family-from-hell bring Detectives Fry and Cooper to a remote and unfriendly rural community in their fourth psychological thriller.

DS Ben Cooper comes closer to death than he ever has before in the new Cooper/Fry case
