Clint Wolf Mystery Trilogy
Krimis von BJ Bourg
BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Embattled former detective Clint Wolf is the newly appointed police chief for Mechant Loup, a small swampy town in southeast Louisiana. Usually a quiet town, the tranquility of the place is shattered when a human arm is found in the jowls of an alligator. BUT NOT FORGIVEN When a woman is found dead on her doorsteps—shot through the heart with an arrow—Clint Wolf and Susan Wilson go to work trying to track down the sadistic killer. BUT NOT FORSAKEN No one knows why the district attorney is gunning for Susan Wilson, but Clint Wolf is determined to find out—even if it’ll get him in trouble.
BJ Bourg ist ein amerikanischer Polizeiermittler – und ein Autor fesselnder Kriminalromane. „This is a good set of connected mysteries. Continuity was excellent, action great and twisted enough for the most demanding reader.“ (Leser) (95 Rezensionen / 4,5 Sterne), 738 Seiten- noch gratis?

The Silence of the Sea
Krimi von Yrsa Sigurðardóttir
A luxury yacht arrives in Reykjavik harbour with nobody on board. What has happened to the crew, and to the family who were on board when it left Lisbon? Thora Gudmundsdottir is hired by the young father’s parents to investigate, and is soon drawn deeper into the mystery. What should she make of the rumours saying that the vessel was cursed, especially given that when she boards the yacht she thinks she sees one of the missing twins? Where is Karitas, the glamorous young wife of the yacht’s former owner? And whose is the body that has washed up further along the shore?
Band 6 der Thora Gudmundsdottir Krimis. „Reading about a mystery whilst at the same time knowing more than the investigators is a familiar device, but the author handles it very well here, ratcheting up the tension as the story switches from Iceland to the yacht, and back again.“ (Leser) (139 Rezensionen / 3,8 Sterne), 433 Seiten noch günstig?

Rafferty’s Rules
Thriller von W. Glenn Duncan
Rafferty’s Rule 23: You show me a man who always fights fair and I’ll show you a man who loses too often. Fifteen years ago, Rafferty saved Vivian Mollison from a crazed junkie who tried to blow her head off. A lot has changed since then. Rafferty’s no longer a cop, and Vivian’s now twenty five, studying sociology at SMU, with a father who made a fortune in computers. So when Rafferty gets summoned to the Mollison estate and told to chase down the five outlaw bikers who kidnapped Vivian and put her into a drug-induced twilight zone, it’s mixed emotions.

Ein Schüler der sechsten Klasse ertrinkt, scheinbar in einem Unfall, auf dem Land in Norfolk. Als Routinefall, oder so scheint es, landet der Fall auf dem Schreibtisch von Detective Sergeant Smith, der vor kurzem nach einer internen Ermittlung zurückgekehrt ist. „Small things make the background plausible, the river, the fence, the houses people live in and with my imagination I can see it all. No film is needed. The part that pleased me the most was the description of the immigrants. They were lifted from the usual squalor of poverty and crime into pillars of the community.“ (Leser) (356 Rezensionen / 4,5 Sterne), 251 Seiten – noch gratis?

The Graveyard of the Hesperides
Historischer Krimi von Lindsey Davis
Albia is a remarkable woman in what is very much a man’s world: young, widowed and fiercely independent, she lives alone on the Aventine Hill in Rome and makes a good living as a hired investigator. An outsider in more ways than one, Albia has unique insight into life in ancient Rome, and she puts it to good use going places no man could go, and asking questions no man could ask.
Band 4 der Serie “This excellent Roman mystery, enriched by Davis’s characteristic wit and thorough understanding of the period, takes a darker turn as Flavia delves into Rome’s poorest streets, rife with prostitution, exploitation, thuggery and murder.” (Sunday Express) (101 Rezensionen / 4,6 Sterne), 336 Seiten noch günstig?

The Ides of April
Historischer Krimi von Lindsey Davis
Flavia Albia is the adopted daughter of a famous investigating family. In defiance of tradition, she lives alone on the colourful Aventine Hill, and battles out a solo career in a male-dominated world. As a woman and an outsider, Albia has special insight into the best, and worst, of life in ancient Rome. A female client dies in mysterious circumstances. Albia investigates and discovers there have been many other strange deaths all over the city, yet she is warned off by the authorities. The vigils are incompetent. The local magistrate is otherwise engaged, organising the Games of Ceres, notorious for its ancient fox-burning ritual.

Während Sicherheit und Frieden Geburtsrechte sein sollten, werden einige von uns in Situationen geboren, die alle diese Feinheiten einfach nicht erlauben. Mit einem Vater, der Drogen verkauft hat und einer Mutter, die davon abhängig war, hatte Mathew Chase alles andere, als eine Welt, in der er sich sicher gefühlt hat. „I was captivated with the story and the writing from start to finish and really admire the author for what he went through and how things have turned out for him. One of the best parts about the book is that this is not just a recounting of an adventure, but Mathew Chase has some really great insight into the events that he participated in, and those that occurred in others‘ lives who he had met and been acquainted with – from his hometown to his military service, and his life on his own, away from these benchmarks.“ (Leser) (18 Rezensionen / 4,8 Sterne), 100 Seiten – noch gratis?
