Comme l'on sait, aucune artère parisienne ne porte le nom de Robespierre, passé à la postérité comme l'archétype du monstre. Sans l'absoudre ni l'accabler, mais en le suivant pas à pas à travers chacune de ses prises de position politiques, Jean-Clément Martin montre que cette réputation a été fabriquée par les Thermidoriens. Après avoir abattu le «tyran», ils voulurent en effet se dédouaner de leur propre recours à la violence d'État. Ainsi, les 10 et 11 thermidor, qui voient l'exécution de «l'Incorruptible» et d'une centaine de révolutionnaires, servent à imputer au premier la seule responsabilité de la «Terreur». Non seulement cette accusation a réécrit l'histoire de la Révolution, mais elle continue à s'imposer encore à nous. Une démonstration sans faille et un livre à l'image de Robespierre: éminemment politique. Jean-Clément Martin, Professeur émérite à l'université Paris 1, Panthéon-Sorbonne, ancien directeur de l'Institut d'histoire de la Révolution française, a notamment publié La Guerre de Vendée, La Machine à fantasmes et, chez Perrin, la Nouvelle Histoire de la Révolution française.

Joskus ystävyys on lakia vahvempi. Verivelka aloittaa uuden DELTA-sarjan. Arttu Tuominen kuvaa porilaista poliisiyksikköä ratkomassa rikostapauksia, jotka laittavat sen jäsenet punnitsemaan omia valintojaan ja arvojaan. Tuoreella tavalla kirjoitetussa sarjassa yhdistyy Tuomisen mestarillinen juonenkuljetus ja inhimillinen kosketus. Myöhäinen syksy. Porin Ahlaisissa tapahtuu raaka, mutta poliisin näkökulmasta tavanomainen surmatyö. Mökillä, jossa on koolla iso ryyppyporukka, puukotetaan mies. Tapauksella on useita silminnäkijöitä mutta vähän surijoita; uhrilla on poikkeuksellisen väkivaltainen rikostausta. Komisario Jari Paloviita, ylennyksen saanut perheenisä, hätkähtää kuullessaan Ahlaisten surmasta epäillyn miehen nimen: poikavuosina samainen puukottaja oli hänen paras ystävänsä, rikkonaisesta kodista tullut tinkimätön ja auttavainen toveri, joka puolusti häntä julmissa kiusaamistilanteissa. Paloviita on aina tuntenut olevansa elämänsä velkaa nykyisin syrjäytyneenä kulkevalle ystävälleen. Mitä loppujen lopuksi tarkoittaa ikuisen lojaalisuuden lupaus, verivala? Koskettava ja vetävä rikosromaani salaisuudesta ja syyllisyydestä. "Kerronnaltaan, tyyliltään, jännitysasteeltaan ja syvällisyydeltään Verivelka on paras Tuomisen tähänastisista romaaneista".

The New York Timesin best seller listalle noussut suomalaistrilleri! Suomen kärkitrilleristi Max Seeck vakuuttaa psykologisella jännitysromaanillaan, jossa rikoskirjailijan teokset muuttuvat karmivalla tavalla todeksi. Tämän kirjan käännösoikeudet on myyty 38 maahan! Hulppeasta merenrantatalosta löytyy kuollut nainen. Nainen on sonnustautunut mustaan iltapukuun, ja hänen kasvonsa ovat vääntyneet irvokkaaseen hymyyn. Rikosylikonstaapeli Jessica Niemi saa tapauksen tutkittavakseen, ja pian käy ilmi ettei juhlapukuinen nainen ole ainut uhri ja että lisää ruumiita on tiedossa. Joku nimittäin toteuttaa uskollisesti menestyskirjailijan romaanien äärimmäisen raakoja rikoksia. Max Seeck kirjoittaa tämän hetken vetävintä jännitystä. Uskollinen lukija tuo rikoksen iholle ja todistaa jälleen kerran, että Seeckillä on ilmiömäinen kyky luoda huikeita cliffhangereita ja yllättää lukijansa yhä uudestaan. Max Seeck (s. 1985) on helsinkiläinen myynnin ja markkinoinnin ammattilainen, jonka esikoisdekkarille Hammurabin enkelit myönnettiin Suomen Dekkariseuran Vuoden esikoisdekkari kunniakirja. Seeckin romaanien käännösoikeuksia on myyty neljään maahan. Uskollinen lukija on hänen neljäs romaaninsa.
