Now Mark is caught between a legal system gone mad and a mob killer desperate to cover up his crime. And his only ally is a woman named Reggie Love, who has been a lawyer for all of four years. Prosecutors are willing to break all the rules to make Mark talk. The mob will stop at nothing to keep him quiet. And Reggie will do anything to protect her client--even take a last, desperate gamble that could win Mark his freedom . . . or cost them both their lives.

    • Publikace podává výklad k živnostenskému zákonu, který v minulosti prošel mnohačetnými novelizacemi a bere v potaz i změny, které přinesla rekodifikace soukromého práva. Dále obsahuje komentář i k zákonu o živnostenských úřadech a nastiňuje vzájemnou provázanost těchto dvou předpisů. Autoři stručně a komplexně komentují jednotlivá ustanovení, a to i včetně problematických pasáží, a snaží se navést praxi k ustálenému řešení možných nejasností, přičemž využívají svých dlouholetých zkušeností z odboru živností Ministerstva průmyslu a obchodu. S ohledem na velkou rozšířenost podnikání v režimu živnostenského zákona může tato publikace sloužit nejen pracovníkům živnostenských úřadů jako nesmírně užitečné vodítko při jejich práci, ale i širší odborné a podnikatelské veřejnosti, která je nucena zabývat se otázkami, o kterých je pojednáváno v tomto komentáři, v souvislosti se svou činností prakticky neustále.

      From the author of the international bestseller Tully comes an epic tale of passion, betrayal, and survival set in World War II Russia. In 1941 Leningrad, the city’s former grandeur contrasts sharply with the harsh realities of Stalin's regime. Sisters Tatiana and Dasha Metanov live in a cramped apartment with their family, but when Hitler invades, the siege transforms their already difficult lives into a fight for survival. Amidst this chaos, Tatiana encounters Alexander, a Red Army officer whose confidence and hidden past intrigue her. As relentless winter and the German blockade grip the city, the Metanovs face increasingly desperate circumstances. With bombs falling and food scarce, Tatiana and Alexander's love blossoms, threatening her family's stability and exposing his dangerous secret—one that could be as destructive as the war itself. Caught between two deadly forces, they navigate a tumultuous history that reshapes the modern world. Mesmerizing from the first page to the breathtaking conclusion, this story illuminates the indomitable spirits of two lovers whose profound connection endures amidst the devastation of war.

      Go back to where it all began for LAPD detective Harry Bosch, star of Amazon Prime's Bosch, in his first case The Black Echo - a gripping, action-packed thriller. LAPD detective Harry Bosch is a loner and a nighthawk. One Sunday he gets a call-out on his pager. A body has been found in a drainage tunnel off Mulholland Drive, Hollywood. At first sight, it looks like a routine drugs overdose case, but the one new puncture wound amid the scars of old tracks leaves Bosch unconvinced. To make matters worse, Harry Bosch recognises the victim. Billy Meadows was a fellow 'tunnel rat' in Vietnam, running against the VC and the fear they all used to call the Black Echo. Bosch believes he let down Billy Meadows once before, so now he is determined to bring the killer to justice.
