Новинки Джейсона Рекулика

Jason Rekulak, kelle varasem teos „Piltidesse peidetud“ osutus tõeliseks menukiks, on kirjutanud uue vapustava põneviku.
Frank Szatowski on üllatunud, kui tütar Maggie talle helistab – esimest korda kolme aasta jooksul. Veelgi suurem uudis on see, et Maggie abiellub ja kutsub isa pulma. Frank on vaimustuses ja loodab viimaks kõik heastada.
Kui isa ja tütar viimase nooblis korteris kohtuvad, selgub, et Maggie väljavalitu on kuulsa tehnoloogiamiljardäri poeg Aidan Gardner. Juba teel uhkesse peopaika saab Frank vihje, et tema tulevane väimees võib olla mõrvar, kuid kohapeal püüab ta siiski Maggiega suhteid parandada ja tütre uut perekonda tundma õppida. See osutub aga keeruliseks: Aidan on tõrjuv ja napisõnaline, Maggie ise pidevalt hõivatud ning mõned kohalikud suhtuvad Gardneritesse jahmatava vaenulikkusega. Frank hakkab uurima, millise perega tema tütar ennast seob, aga kui ta läheb liiga kaugele, võib ta Maggie igaveseks kaotada.

Jason Rekulak on kirjutanud raamatu „The Impossible Fortress“, mida on tõlgitud kaheteistkümnesse keelde ning mis on Edgari auhinna nominent. Aastaid oli Rekulak kirjastaja Quirk Booksis, kus tema leitud käsikirjadest mitmed on saanud New York Timesi bestselleriks. Ta elab koos perega Philadelphias.

Frank Szatowski hasn't seen his daughter Maggie in years, and it breaks his heart every day. So when she calls him out of the blue, to tell him that she's getting married and he's invited, Frank is overjoyed.

Maggie is marrying into one of the richest families in the country, and Frank finds himself overwhelmed by the social circle she now moves in. He'll do anything to reconnect, though, and arrives at their New Hampshire estate ready to bond however he can with Maggie's in-laws.

But as the wedding weekend gets underway, it becomes clear to Frank that although they have spared no expense, there's something strange about Maggie's fiancé. And maybe Frank shouldn't be celebrating just yet...

Frank Szatowski is shocked when his daughter, Maggie, calls him for the first time in three years. He was convinced that their estrangement would become permanent. He's even more surprised when she invites him to her upcoming wedding in New Hampshire. Frank is ecstatic, and determined to finally make things right.

He arrives to find that the wedding is at a private estate--very secluded, very luxurious, very much out of his league. It seems that Maggie failed to mention that she's marrying Aidan Gardner, the son of a famous tech billionaire. Feeling desperately out of place, Frank focuses on reconnecting with Maggie and getting to know her new family. But it's difficult: Aidan is withdrawn and evasive; Maggie doesn't seem to have time for him; and he finds that the locals are disturbingly hostile to the Gardners. Frank needs to know more about this family his daughter is marrying into, but if he pushes too hard, he could lose Maggie forever.

В захолустном городке Фрэнк Шатовски добросовестно трудится водителем службы доставки и только себя винит в разрыве с дочерью, которая теперь живет в Бостоне.

И вот наконец, после трехлетнего молчания, звонок от Мэгги. И ошеломляющее предложение: приехать к ней на свадьбу и провести ее к алтарю.

Отец безмерно рад такой возможности восстановить отношения с дочерью. Но перед самым отъездом он получает анонимное письмо с фотоснимком, на котором жених, сын владельца крупной фирмы, где работает Мэгги, стоит в обнимку с другой девушкой. А в письме одна-единственная фраза: «Где Дон Таггарт»?

Фрэнк отправляется в путь, но тревожные сведения о будущем зяте заставляют его задуматься: уж не совершает ли его дочь роковую ошибку?

Un matrimonio perfetto con l'uomo perfetto, questo è tutto ciò che Maggie ha sempre desiderato. E ora che sta per sposare Aidan Gardner la realtà sembra superare ogni aspettativa. Il futuro marito, infatti, non è solo un artista molto dotato ma anche il rampollo di una delle più grandi aziende degli Stati Uniti.
Affinché il quadro sia completo manca solo Frank, suo padre. Sono passati tre anni dall'ultima volta che si sono visti ed è finalmente arrivato il momento di riconciliarsi. Lui, dal canto suo, è deciso a non ripetere gli errori del passato ed è pronto a fare qualsiasi cosa per tornare a far parte della vita di Maggie. Una vita fatta di lusso estremo ma anche di lavoro h24… E non importa se a pagare le spese della cerimonia saranno i Gardner, o se Aidan è scostante con il suocero e nasconde dei segreti: Frank non può rovinare tutto. Non questa volta.
Eppure qualcuno sta cercando di incriminare lo sposo per la scomparsa di una ragazza. Forse Maggie sta per compiere un irreparabile errore?
Nel corso di un fine settimana epocale, padre e figlia saranno costretti a fare i conti con le loro differenze e ad ammettere verità inconfessabili, anche a costo… della loro vita.

Un thriller che sconfina nel paranormale e che, grazie alla forza espressiva delle illustrazioni, vi sorprenderà, pagina dopo pagina, in un inquietante crescendo, fino all’imprevedibile colpo di scena finale.
Teddy è un dolce bambino di cinque anni, intelligente e curioso, che ama disegnare qualsiasi cosa: gli alberi, gli animali, i genitori e, occasionalmente, anche la sua amica immaginaria, Anya, che dorme sotto il suo letto e gioca con lui quando è da solo. Ma ora a occuparsi di lui per tutta l’estate c’è Mallory, la nuova babysitter. I due si sono piaciuti fin dal primo incontro, tanto che il signor Maxwell non ha potuto opporsi all’assunzione della ragazza, che nonostante la giovane età ha dei difficili trascorsi con la droga.
All’apparenza tutto è perfetto: i Maxwell sono gentili e comprensivi, la loro casa sembra uscita direttamente dalla copertina di una rivista e le giornate sono scandite da una routine serena, che comprende giochi, pisolini e bagni in piscina. Fino a quando i disegni di Teddy cominciano a cambiare, diventano sempre più strani, cupi, quasi macabri e rivelano un tratto decisamente troppo complesso per un bambino di quell’età.
Che cosa sta succedendo? Per Teddy è colpa di Anya, è lei a dirgli cosa rappresentare e a guidare la sua mano. Qualcosa non va e, anche se può sembrare una follia, solo Mallory può scoprire la verità prima che sia troppo tardi.

Меллорі Квінн виходить з реабілітаційного центру та влаштовується нянею в родину Максвеллів. Вона задоволена своєю роботою, нарешті відновлює фізичну форму й досягає стабільності в житті. Дівчина має доглядати за п’ятирічним сором’язливим хлопчиком Тедді. Він завжди носить із собою олівці та альбом для малювання, де зображує дерева, кроликів, повітряні кульки. Але одного разу в альбомі хлопчика з’являється моторошний сюжет. Темний ліс і чоловік, який тягне тіло мертвої жінки. Малюнки Тедді стають дедалі зловіснішими. Де п’ятирічна дитина могла бачити такі криваві картини? Меллорі здогадується, що хлопчик став свідком чогось жахливого. Усе…

Когда твое прошлое — груда развалин и ты, чудом выкарабкавшись из-под них, даже не представляешь себе, как жить дальше, едва ли стоит рассчитывать на то, что судьба преподнесет тебе роскошный подарок. Однако с Мэллори Куин случилось именно это. Молодая спортсменка после тяжелейшей жизненной катастрофы получает идеальную возможность начать жизнь с чистого листа. Она теперь нянька при пятилетнем ребенке в красивом, тихом, уютном городке. Тедди — славный малыш, явно талантливый; он очень любит рисовать. Но с его рисунками происходит нечто мистическое: они становятся все более жуткими и сложными, и вот уже среди них сцена, изображенная как будто совсем не детской рукой: в лесу мужчина куда-то тащит безжизненное тело женщины. Что хотят сказать все эти картинки? Кто разговаривает через них? Заинтригованная и встревоженная, Мэллори пытается разгадать зловещую тайну…

From Jason Rekulak, Edgar-nominated author of The Impossible Fortress, comes a wildly inventive spin on the classic horror story in Hidden Pictures, a creepy and warm-hearted mystery about a woman working as a nanny for a young boy with strange and disturbing secrets.

Fresh out of rehab, Mallory Quinn takes a job in the affluent suburb of Spring Brook, New Jersey as a babysitter for Ted and Caroline Maxwell. She is to look after their five-year-old son, Teddy.

Mallory immediately loves this new job. She lives in the Maxwell’s pool house, goes out for nightly runs, and has the stability she craves. And she sincerely bonds with Teddy, a sweet, shy boy who is never without his sketchbook and pencil. His drawings are the usual fare: trees, rabbits, balloons. But one day, he draws something different: a man in a forest, dragging a woman’s lifeless body.

As the days pass, Teddy’s artwork becomes more and more sinister, and his stick figures steadily evolve into more detailed, complex, and lifelike sketches well beyond the ability of any five-year-old. Mallory begins to suspect these are glimpses of an unsolved murder from long ago, perhaps relayed by a supernatural force lingering in the forest behind the Maxwell’s house.

With help from a handsome landscaper and an eccentric neighbor, Mallory sets out to decipher the images and save Teddy—while coming to terms with a tragedy in her own past—before it’s too late.
