Tomasz Wilusz Ordre des livres (chronologique)

Když policie v Buckeye City obdrží dopis od šílence, který vyhrožuje zavražděním třinácti nevinných a jednoho vinného, aby pomstil nespravedlivou smrt, vyšetřovatelka Izzy Jaynesová neví, jestli tomu má věřit. Brzy se ale ukáže, že to pisatel myslí naprosto vážně, a Izzy se musí s prosbou o pomoc obrátit na svou dobrou kamarádku Holly Gibneyovou. Kdo je nebezpečnější: vrah, který se stal na zabíjení závislým, nebo ten, kdo je přesvědčen, že jeho činy schvaluje sám Bůh? Mistr vypravěč Stephen King zručně splétá nitky příběhu až k napínavému finále, ve kterém se vrah chystá splnit svůj nejstrašnější slib. A zdá se, že Holly je jediná, kdo tomu může zabránit…

Holly Gibney, one of Stephen King’s most compelling characters, returns to solve the gruesome truth behind multiple disappearances in a midwestern town. Having evolved from a shy recluse to a savvy private detective, Holly now faces a daunting challenge alone. When Penny Dahl reaches out to the Finders Keepers detective agency for help in locating her missing daughter, Holly is hesitant. With her partner Pete sidelined by Covid and her complicated family situation weighing on her, she contemplates taking a leave. However, Penny’s desperate plea compels her to accept the case. Just blocks from where Bonnie Dahl vanished, Professors Rodney and Emily Harris appear to be the epitome of respectable, devoted octogenarians. Yet, beneath their polished exterior lies a dark secret hidden in the basement of their book-lined home, potentially linked to Bonnie’s disappearance. The professors are cunning, patient, and ruthless, making it nearly impossible for Holly to uncover their sinister activities. To confront these twisted adversaries, Holly must harness all her formidable skills in this chilling new masterwork from King.

All around the world, something is happening to women when they fall asleep; they become shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze. If awakened, if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed, the women become feral and spectacularly violent ... In the small town of Dooling, West Virginia, the virus is spreading through a women's prison, affecting all the inmates except one. Soon, word spreads about the mysterious Evie, who seems able to sleep, and wake. Is she a medical anomaly or a demon to be slain? The abandoned men, left to their increasingly primal devices, are fighting each other, while Dooling's Sheriff, Lila Norcross, is just fighting to stay awake. And the sleeping women are about to open their eyes to a new world altogether ...

Un matin d'automne, la petite ville de Chester Mill, dans le Maine, est inexplicablement et brutalement isolée du reste du monde par un champ de force invisible. Personne ne comprend ce qu'est ce dôme transparent, d'où il vient et quand - ou si - il partira. L'armée semble impuissante à ouvrir un passage tandis que les ressources à l'intérieur de Chester Mill se raréfient. Jim Rennie, premier adjoint de Chester Mill, voit tout de suite le bénéfice qu'il peut tirer de la situation, lui qui a toujours rêvé de mettre la ville sous sa coupe. Un nouvel ordre social régi par la terreur s'installe et la résistance s'organise autour de Dale Barbara, vétéran d'Irak et chef cuistot fraîchement débarqué en ville.
