Kočky umí získat koláče bez práce, přístřeší bez ztráty svobody a lásku bez trestů. Bůh stvořil kočku, aby lidé mohli mít potěšení z hladění tygra. V Egyptě byly kočky mumifikovány stejně jako lidé, přičemž některým byly do hrobů přidávány mumifikované myši, aby měly co jíst i po smrti. Kdyby se kočka dala křížit s člověkem, prospělo by to člověku, ale kočka by tím utrpěla. Pes má v životě jediný cíl - věnovat vám své srdce. Mezi fascinujícími zvířaty se nachází nosorožík kapucínek z kostarických deštných pralesů, oficiálně uznávaný jako nejsilnější zvíře na světě, schopný zvednout náklad desetinásobku své hmotnosti. Blecha má neuvěřitelné skokanské schopnosti, dokáže skočit 60 cm, což by odpovídalo 400 metrům pro člověka, kdybychom to porovnali podle váhy. Tyto příběhy a fakta ukazují, jak jsou zvířata fascinující a jak se s nimi pojí různé mýty a skutečnosti.

PŘED PŮLNOCÍ Přestože je to génius, Nero Wolfe nemá práci příliš v lásce… Neochotně bere úkol s vražedným termínem a navíc související s nejskvělejší reklamní kampaní století propagující parfém Pour Amour. Jeho klienti tvrdí, že ten případ je naléhavější než vražda. Wolfe je brzy hluboce ponořen do změti intrik a důkazů, zvládá to ale jen tak tak a dokonce i Archie Goodwin je v rozpacích… GAMBIT V exkluzivním a přísně výběrovém šachovém klubu by nikdo nečekal vraždu. Jerin byl jeden z těch géniů, kteří dokáží svůj mozek využít jen u simultánní šachové partie. Naopak Blount je rozmarný milionář, který mu chce drobnou radost překazit. I za cenu vraždy? O tom je přesvědčena policie. Jerina najde otráveného arzénovým koktejlem. Do případu vstoupí lehkým krokem Archie Goodwin a za ním Nero Wolfe. RODINNÁ ZÁLEŽITOST Bombu, která rozmetala ložnici pro hosty ve Wolfově domě, si Pierre Ducos sice přinesl s sebou, ale o sebevraždě nemůže být ani řeč… S tak drzým způsobem vraždy se Nero Wolfe ještě nesetkal. Jeho osobní host, pozvaný do jeho domu, zahyne v pokoji jen pár metrů od velkého detektiva! Pierre Ducos byl číšník z jednoho z nejlepších restaurantů v New Yorku, který Wolfa nesčetněkrát obsluhoval. Vyšetřit tuto vraždu se stane pro proslulého gurmána věcí osobní cti.

Kniha přináší soubor kázání irského dominikána, teologa a filosofa Herberta McCabea OP (1926–2001), který proslul jako mimořádný kazatel, stylem připomínající Chestertona. Jeho promluvy jsou plné otázek, argumentů a solidního intelektuálního obsahu jak filosofického, tak teologického. Jsou pevně zakotveny v Písmu a inspirovány naukou Tomáše Akvinského. Boří námi vytvořené hloupé, děsivé či triviální modely, abychom se mohli stát sami sebou ve světle a moci samotného Boha. Nezatajují praktické a intelektuální zádrhele, jsou věrné ústřednímu tajemství víry, které sice stimuluje myšlenky bez konce, ale vyhýbá se úplnému ovládnutí. Vyjadřují vděk za milost a jsou vynikajícím průvodcem po křesťanské a v nejplnějším smyslu slova katolické realitě, který je dostupný prakticky každému čtenáři.

Spisovatelovým úkolem je proměňovat své nejhorší zážitky na peníze. Tak zní nové motto Jacka Henryho, a je-li na něm něco pravdy, bude Jack neuvěřitelně zazobaný ještě před tím, než dokončí školní docházku. Jeho život je totiž nabit těmi nejhoršími zážitky, jaké si jen dokážete představit. V průběhu šesti měsíců, které zachycuje tato kniha, je Jack napaden uprchlým vězněm v plavkách, potupen nádhernou akvabelou, zpacká test inteligence, nechá si potetovat palec u nohy, málem propadne z dílen a svého mrtvého psa musí vykopat ne jednou, ale dokonce dvakrát. A to není zdaleka všechno. Stále však platí slova recenze první knihy Jacka Henryho převzaté z časopisu School Library Journal: "Jack je 'ten, kdo přežil', obyčejný kluk, který sice žije v šíleném světě, ale jeho srdce a hlava jsou v naprostém pořádku." Jack se sice na konci knihy netopí v penězích, ale zato poznává, že v životě se nejedná jen o peníze, a že všechno zlé je k něčemu dobré. Spisovatel se při popisování tragikomických příhod Jacka Henryho inspiroval svými vlastními zážitky z mládí, které prožil na Floridě a na karibském ostrově Barbados. Nyní žije se svou ženou a dcerou v Albuquerque v Novém Mexiku. (Oficiální anotace)

Příběhy šesťáka Jacka začínají toho dne, kdy si na mamince ,,vyvztekal" stejný deník, jaký dostala jeho starší sestra Betsy.

Brent Stevens nedělal v Central Parku to, co tam dělá většina návštěvníků - neprojížděl se v kočáru taženém koňmi ani se neprocházel po Strawberry Fields. Ležel tam na dlažbě tváří k zemi a snažil se zjistit ty nejzákladnější věci: kdo vlastně je, kde se právě nachází a kdo se ho snaží zabít. Sám není schopen najít odpověď na žádnou z otázek - dokud mu nepodá pomocnou ruku Tina Ruffová, soukromá cvičitelka aerobiku s citlivým srdcem. Tina, která se ochotně ujala cizího člověka, je v New Yorku tak trochu výjimkou. Ale dobře oblečený, atraktivní Brent je také svým způsobem mimořádný, stejně jako jeho stav: po ráně do zátylku si nemůže vzpomenout na absolutně nic. Nemá ani ponětí o tom, co by se dalo odemknout klíčem, který má v kapse, natož aby tušil, jaké nástrahy mu hrozí... S vracející se pamětí začíná Brent hledat spojení mezi svou osobou, záhadným člověkem žijícím v newyorském bytě v budově zvané Dakota, ženou, od níž obdržel značný obnos a o níž ví jen to, že se jmenuje Lisa, a konečně slavným manželským hereckým párem, který v současné době zajišťuje Holywoodu vyprodané pokladny kin. S Tinou po boku se mu podaří narazit na některá nebezpečná tajemství a odhalí temnou i hrozivou pravdu, která je všechny spojuje...a současně smrtelně ohrožuje.
