      Buried Lies
    • 2015

      Jonas Jonasson's picaresque tale of how one person's actions can have far-reaching--even global--consequences, written with the same light-hearted satirical voice as his bestselling debut novel, The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared. On June 14th, 2007, the King and Prime Minister of Sweden went missing from a gala banquet at the Royal Castle. Later it was said that both had fallen ill: the truth is different. The real story starts much earlier, in 1961, with the birth of Nombeko Mayeki in a shack in Soweto. Nombeko was fated to grow up fast and die early in her poverty-stricken township. But Nombeko takes a different path. She finds work as a housecleaner and eventually makes her way up to the position of chief advisor, at the helm of one of the world's most secret projects. Here is where the story merges with, then diverges from reality. South Africa developed six nuclear missiles in the 1980s, then voluntarily dismantled them in 1994. This is a story about the seventh missile . . . the one that was never supposed to have existed. Nombeko Mayeki knows too much about it, and now she's on the run from both the South African justice and the most terrifying secret service in the world. She ends up in Sweden, which has transformed into a nuclear nation, and the fate of the world now lies in Nombeko's hands.

      Zvláštní souborná edice dvou knižních hitů u příležitosti 100 000 prodaných knih Jonase Jonassona v Česku. Stoletý stařík, který vylezl z okna a zmizel: Allan Karlsson má narozeniny. Je mu sto let. Vlastně důvod k oslavě. Starosta i místní tisk se připravují na velkolepou oslavu, stoletý stařík má však docela jiné plány; jednoduše zmizí - a brzy je celé Švédsko kvůli jeho útěku vzhůru nohama. Jenže s podobnými věcmi už má Allan své zkušenosti - v mládí koneckonců uvedl do zmatku celý svět. Jonas Jonasson ve svém románu vypráví o jednom veselém útěku a také o šíleném životním příběhu svéhlavého muže, který se sice nikdy nezajímal o politiku, ale přesto byl vždy nějak zapleten do velkých historických událostí 20. století. Analfabetka, která uměla počítat: Nombeko začala pracovat v pěti letech jako vynašečka latrín na předměstí Johannesburgu, v deseti letech osiřela. Nic nenasvědčovalo tomu, že by neměla prožít svůj život v jedné z chatrčí největší chudinské čtvrti světa a pak tu předčasně umřít, nikým nepostrádaná. To by ale nebyla Nombeko - analfabetka, která uměla počítat. Osud i její talent ji zavedou až do mezinárodní politiky, na druhou stranu zeměkoule, ke dvěma identickým a zároveň velmi odlišným bratrům. Během jejího dobrodružného putování se jí podaří zamotat hlavu agentům nejobávanější tajné služby nebo být unesená ve špinavém náklaďáku na převoz brambor. A tím to zdaleka nekončí...

      "HOSTAGE: Shortly after a crowded New York-bound Boeing 747 takes off from Stockholm, a bomb threat is found in one of the aircraft's lavatories. The demands are directed at both the Swedish and US governments. Police Superintendent Alex Recht teams up with the energetic -- and often abrasive -- Eden Lundell from the security service's counter-terrorism unit to deal with the hijacking. Fredrika Bergman, who is currently working at the Justice Department, returns to the police force to act as a liaison between the government and the police. The investigation team soon realizes that the plot behind the hijacking is far more complex than they initially thought. As the hours pass, Fredrika, Alex and Eden are running out of possibilities to save the plane and its passengers. The race against time also becomes a battle against the US government's fear of a new terrorist attack. And the plane is running out of fuel"--
