The Perfumer

What happens when a special ability allows someone to use a sense in their work that most people cannot? Gitta Kardos is a 40-year-old single businesswoman who lives for her work. As a perfumer, she designs personalised fragrances. But that's just the surface. Her work is much more complex, using her refined sense of smell to detect scents that no one else can. With the right concentration of scents, she can influence the behaviour of others without their awareness. She can put one party at an advantage in business negotiations. It can infer the current state of an athlete's body odour and thus determine his chances of winning for a bookmaker. She can tell whether a negotiating partner is scared, aroused or sexually motivated. And she can do all this by her smelling. Gitta Kardos is brought together with a new client in Budapest, whose order she fulfils without a second thought, putting her and the business she founded with her partners in danger. Before she knows it, she is being hunted by the police as a suspect of multiple murders, and if that wasn't enough, she is being pursued by several assassins. Can she prove his innocence in the murders? Can she outwit his pursuers? Will she find out who wanted her dead? And how can she use his wonderfully sensitive sense of smell to do it?

Death of Europe

By: Laszlo Reti

It is 2050. Hungary has gone through another parliamentary election and the Prime Minister has his work cut out. There are now nearly a million Muslims in the country, and nearly half of them are of Arab origin. The number of Hungarians has fallen below eight million. In the Arabian Peninsula mathematical models have been used for half a century to plan the future. Nothing can happen without foresight. It is time for the Dynasty to act. Something is going on in the background, but no one can see all the pieces of the puzzle. László Zsitvai, the newly appointed national security adviser is trying to steer the course so that everything works in his favour. Meanwhile, Mariann Siroki, a psychologist who has converted to Islam is putting forward a theory in Budapest that will fundamentally change the war on terror. But terrorists change tactics too, and she must find a second way. But in the actual theatre of the war on terror the streets are increasingly chaotic. Lieutenant Hamza is a police sniper. He does not work on principles and theories, but steps out into the harsh reality every day. And he has to pull the trigger. The geopolitical dilemmas are part of a couple's daily life and they have to decide at the level of the ordinary man: what to do next? Should they bow to power? Can global politics be changed? Or must they simply save their own lives? Because perhaps there is no other way...

Town of Tears

By: Laszlo Reti

Dozens of foreigners are murdered in Russia, seemingly for no reason. Some of them are historians, businessmen, tourists. Who will be next? A monster is kidnapping children and burying them alive, horrifying even the most hardened cops. Who will protect the next innocent? The police are disorganised, impotent, corrupt. The economic crisis and the moral nihilism of the past are soaking everything and everyone. The big dogs, it seems, are allowed to do anything. Who and what can those who are trying to prevent the next crime against the wind trust? Captain Adrian Varlamov and his rookie colleague are racing against time. And the moment comes that will test all their courage and endurance. And what can a girl do, who let her lover leave the Netherlands as a happy bride, only to experience the true, unrelenting horror of her country's deepest loss. For all of our worst nightmares are about to come to life.

Budapest Boulevard

By: Laszlo Reti

Hungary, at the beginning of the next decade. The government is preparing for elections, but they are becoming very uncomfortable with the new counter-terrorism unit, set up at a cost of billions of euros, but not doing anything of substance. But then an assassination attempt shakes Budapest, which has been living its peaceful days. The police gather strength and go after the terrorists. Meanwhile, the head of one of the district police stations, Péter Básti, who has been recruited from the countryside, is struggling with everyday life. The lazy detectives, the lack of money and the constant, self-serving checks by the top management are slowly eating away at his nerves. In this situation, it is just icing on the cake that his brother is also involved in a serious case. The Lieutenant Colonel has to play tactics to stay a policeman, but he can't leave his brother in the lurch. He starts his own investigation to see if he can lend a helping hand to his brother. The threads are winding up, and it's no longer clear who's on which side. Budapest has been in terror since the terrorist attack, the city is going mad, and there are bomb hoaxes all over the place. How does a former police officer end up on the side of crime? Why is an Iraqi student being murdered? And most importantly, will there be another bombing? László Réti's eleventh novel is more than just a crime thriller: it is both a political thriller and a social history.

Europe behind Walls

By: Laszlo Reti

Europe, 2033. The Wall is up. It protects the continent's southern and eastern borders against millions of migrants. It is six metres high. Watchtowers, machine guns, snipers. Fire order in force. Thousands die every year trying to cross The Wall. Europe had to choose between its old values and security. Europe chose security. Europe closed its doors. In this world Zsuzsa Radnai, an agent of the European Immigration Office, is trying to protect what is really important to her. Like the others: the young teacher at the University of Pest, the American investigative journalist, and the Muslim terrorist. Europe or Eurabia? Freedom or security? László Réti tackles the issues that are increasingly defining our daily lives and our future. The first edition of the novel was published in 2o15, the first year of the migrant crisis, under the title Behind the Walls. Since then, many of the events predicted in the novel have already happened.
