Genau die Institution, die uns zusammenhält und uns vor den Greys schützt, steht kurz vor dem Aus. Die großen Senatoren-Familien konkurrieren um schwindelnde Rest und nutzen jeden Trick in ihrem Arsenal, um einen Vorteil zu gewinnen. Der beste Freund von Inspektor Paul Grimm hat einen Mord angehangen bekommen, den er, technisch betrachtet, auch begangen hat. “I have been reading science fiction for 60 years and this is one of best books from a new author I have read in a long time. Mr. Claymore keeps the story moving and doesn’t feel the need d to fill it up with what I call filler words.” (Leser) (42 Rezensionen / 4,4 Sterne), 229 Seiten – noch gratis?

Death in Breslau
Historischer Thriller von Marek Krajewski
In Breslau 1933: the mutilated body of a young woman, an aristocrat, is found dead on a train. Scorpions writhe in her slashed stomach – a horrifying image that becomes crucial to the investigation. Inspector Eberhard Mock is called in to deal with the case, and is assigned an assistant, Herbert Anwaldt, an orphan.
Band 1 der Serie. “The city of Breslau is as much a character in this thriller as the parade of gothic loons that inhabit it…This addictive soup has an air of the burlesque about it.” (The Daily Telegraph) (29 Rezensionen / 3.6 Sterne), 257 Seiten noch günstig?

End of the World in Breslau
Historischer Thriller von Marek Krajewski
A man bound, gagged and sealed alive inside a wall to die. Another quartered, his fingers severed. One of the victims was a musician, the other a locksmith. The only detail that the killings have in common – apart from their abnormal savagery – is a page of a calendar with the day of the death marked in blood. To solve these bizarre murders, Criminal Councillor Eberhard Mock must search for answers in Breslau’s underworld, a decadent demi-monde he knows all too well.
Band 2 der Serie. „This is cleverly written, and brings to life a world that can seem quite exotic to us. The police still use torture to get confessions, whilst also turning their backs on certain activities, and drugs and sex result in orgies, as the rich live a different life to the rest of us.“ (Leser) (13 Rezensionen / 4,2 Sterne), 306 Seiten noch günstig?

Amy L. Bovaird ist durch Retinopathia pigmentosa blind geworden. Was sie freilich nicht davon abgehalten hat, behindert, aber weiterhin vergnügt durchs Leben zu laufen. „Amy Bovaird takes her readers from spa treatments beside palm-lined beaches in South India, to Arab palaces, Scottish highlands and up Mount Fuji. With self-deprecating humour, Amy recounts how local dialects, challenging physical terrain, and cultural differences filled her life as a language instructor. Her chosen profession and her sense of adventure has allowed her to have a life that is sensory, rich and full. A diagnosis of Retinitis Pigmentosa, affecting both her vision and her hearing, affected that life, but robbed her of litle. Did she once walk right through a famous person’s photo-shoot? Why yes she did. Did she once walk right off a stage because she couldn’t see the edge? Yes, she did that too. Does she jog regularly and climb mountains, both figuratively and literally? Yes. Amy laughs at herself, analyzes a situation inwardly and outwardly, and deftly uses her life to comment on the world the way she sees it.“ (Leserin) (18 Rezensionen / 4,8 Sterne), 164 Seiten – noch gratis?
