The Tissue Trail Conspiracy
Thriller von Garth Gunston
Five female backpackers face certain execution after they unknowingly carry heroin into Singapore in the souvenirs of their Tissue Trail trek from Nepal. With time running out their situation seems hopeless, until a medical researcher takes video footage of a salt caravan on the Nepal/Tibet border and accidentally uncovers evidence that the women may be pawns in a politically explosive global conspiracy.
Garth Gunston hat ein abenteuerliches Leben geführt. Und bisher leider nur einen abenteuerlichen Thriller verfasst, der aber absolut lesenswert ist. “The description of a flight through a gorge in Nepal made me ready to reach for my parachute – the author’s love of that country comes through in his vivid descriptions.” (Leser) (17 Rezensionen / 4,9 Sterne), 403 Seiten – noch gratis?

Dominion
Alternativgeschichte von C. J. Sansom
1952. Twelve years have passed since Churchill lost to the appeasers and Britain surrendered to Nazi Germany after Dunkirk. As the long German war against Russia rages on in the east, the British people find themselves under dark authoritarian rule: the press, radio and television are controlled; the streets patrolled by violent auxiliary police and British Jews face ever greater constraints. There are terrible rumours too about what is happening in the basement of the German Embassy at Senate House.
Eine sehr interessante Vermischung der wahren Geschichte mit Alternativen. “Naturally, the weather is awful, and obliges with a choking, oily fog as our heroes battle against hideous odds to get to safety. But both as a historical novel and a thriller, Dominion is absorbing, mordant and written with a passionate persuasiveness . . . Bravo!” (Independent on Sunday) (1.364 Rezensionen / 3,9 Sterne), 604 Seiten noch günstig?
Rooftop Angels
Thriller von Tierney James
When Tessa Scott wakes with blood on her hands in a rat infested shack in Afghanistan, she discovers six orphan girls and the Undersecretary of State counting on her for protection. Confused at how she got there or why a smoldering Black Hawk helicopter has crashed outside the village, forces her into yet another adventure of cat and mouse with the Taliban who intend to kidnap them.
Tierney James, eine ehemalige Geografie-Lehrerin, schreibt heute faszinierende Bücher in unterschiedlichen Genres. „Taking us to a scary, but breathtakingly beautiful place in Afghanistan, Tierney James sets loose some more „unlikely heroes“ with a rogue tribesman, Kyrgyz, falling for Melanie, who turns out to be the spunky, housewife turned agent, Tessa Scott.“ (Leseri (23 Rezensionen / 4,9 Sterne), 291 Seiten – noch gratis?

In einer Welt, die von den Seelen der Toten beherrscht wird, begibt sich ein einzigartig verunstaltetes Mädchen auf eine dunkle Reise, die sie von einem Leben von erzwungener Einsamkeit in die Tiefen der menschlichen Verdorbenheit führt. “He takes reality and distorts it just to the point of abomination in a manner that is at once so terrifying and perversely fascinating that the reader cannot look away. He bloats and distorts normality just to the edges of ominous, and then reels us, the readers, back in with dizzying speed so that one begins to question one’s own sanity.” (Leserin) (9 Rezensionen / 5,0 Sterne), 318 Seiten – noch gratis?

Deep Waters
Krimi von Barbara Nadel
A man’s body, virtually decapitated, is found by the Bosphorus. His identity card names him as Rifat Berisha, an Albanian. The family is impenetrable but when Inspector Cetin Ikmen, whose mother was Albanian, consults his cousin, Samsun, he’s left in little doubt that Berisha’s death is likely to be the result of a fis, an implacable blood feud between rival Albanian families. Which means the blood already shed will have to be avenged. And if the Berishas or their enemies discover Ikmen is from a noted Albanian clan, some of the spilt blood might be his…

Petrified
Krimi von Barbara Nadel
Summer in Istanbul is hot. The kind of heat that can drive even the sanest people a little crazy… An elderly woman is found dead in a flat with the perfectly preserved body of a young man. In an ancient part of the Jewish quarter, two children are missing. Their father, an artist whose genius borders on insanity, only seems more driven in his work. And a raid on a Russian gangster yields nothing except the dead body of a girl he claims is his daughter. Could the connection to all cases lie in a macabre forgotten art?
Band 6 der Serie. “The author captures the religious [Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Yezidi] and nationalistic diversity of Turkey as well as its geographic location – part of the background involves the run-up to the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.“ (Leser) (11 Rezensionen / 4,3 Sterne), 356 Seiten noch günstig?
Dance with Death
Krimi von Barbara Nadel
A body is discovered in a cave in the remote region of Cappadocia, Turkey. The woman died of gunshot wounds, and her corpse has lain undisturbed for twenty years. Inspector Cetin Ikmen is summoned from Istanbul to investigate and discovers a complex web of intrigue. Was she killed by her boyfriend, driven mad by love, or her husband, believing she would never bear the son he wanted so badly? When it is revealed the girl was pregnant when she died, the whispers and accusations increase.
Band 8 der Serie. “Dance with Death was absolutely the right book for us! The book not only tells a great story, there is a list of characters–very important because there are more than one plot–one in Istanbul and one in Cappadocia, both places we were visiting. There is also a short glossary of Turkish words.“ (Leser) (90 Rezensionen / 4,0 Sterne), 388 Seiten noch günstig?
Breaking Sandcastles Liebesroman von Kirk BurrisSich in einen viel jüngeren Mann zu verlieben, kann zu jeder Zeit schwierig sein, aber in den frühen sechziger Jahren in Amerika galt es als verboten. Verflochten mit dem Verlangen eine erfolgreiche Karrierefrau zu sein, muss die Kunstlehrerin ihr Herz und ihr Gefühl bekämpfen, während sie sich mit einer unsicheren Zukunft plagt. “Within this story, there are two different storylines. There’s the present and in the meantime, the past is delicately woven in. This technique of writing can be tricky to write and an easy way to confuse readers. However, I am happy to say that Burris does a beautiful job in presenting both timelines in a smooth and clear way.” (Leserin) (9 Rezensionen / 5,0 Sterne), 365 Seiten – noch gratis?
