A third mystery for DCI Jude Satterthwaite to solve, in this gripping novel by best-seller Jo Allen.

Originally published in 1961, Christianity Among the Religions examines whether it is possible to learn from other religions without compromising on personal religious loyalties. It will appeal to all those with an interest in the history of Christianity and religious studies more generally.

An unbreakable cipher, a dead priest with expensive shoes, a hermit who converses with saints, an angry French girl, and much more might stop an ordinary fifteen-year-old safe-cracking genius, but not Percy St.-John.

Vlnka je prastarý příběh o delfíní samičce, inspirovaný touhou naplnit intelektuální sen, který změnil celý vesmír. Toto vědecky přesné a emocionálně nabité dílo vás zaujme. Děj se odehrává v dávném podmořském světě, kde delfíni žijí v rodinách a společenstvích, komunikují, vzdělávají se a čelí dravcům i nejisté budoucnosti. Román patří do kategorie alegorií o zvířatech, která touží po výjimečnosti, podobně jako Bachův Racek Jonathan Livingston. Inspirací pro příběh je delfíní mozek, schopný zpracovávat zvuky desetkrát lépe než lidský, a fakt, že delfíni byli plně rozvinuti už před dvaceti miliony lety. Příběh obsahuje silný konflikt, hrůzostrašná stvoření a smrt, ale hlavním motivem je milostná zápletka, která ukazuje, jak Vlnčina láska obohacuje náš život dodnes. Kniha se dotýká i hudby a ukazuje, jak vlastně vznikla. Autorka Tui Allen, která vyrostla v Aucklandu, se inspirovala svými zkušenostmi s kytovci během plavby přes Tichý oceán. Vlnka je jejím prvním románem pro dospělé a byla pozitivně srovnávána s dílem Richarda Bacha. Recenze ji označují za „báseň v próze, lyrickou píseň“. V roce 2012 byla vybrána na Frankfurtský knižní veletrh jako reprezentantka Novozélandské společnosti autorů. Dílo je obtížně zařaditelné, lze je označit za beletrii mysli, těla a duše nebo mořskou environmentální fantazii.
