Special Agent Dale Conley is going out of his mind. He wants to catch this murderer so bad it hurts—because he’s never seen such gruesome crime scenes … As a serial killer continues his vicious slayings, Dale scrambles to uncover the connection between the victims. Dale discovers that the deaths are related to a controversial theory, one so astonishing that it threatens to undermine the foundations of society. If Dale is going to stop the bloodshed, he’ll have to confront not only a ruthless enemy but also explosive ideas that could tear the world apart.

River of Darkness
Historischer Krimi von Rennie Airth
It is 1921 and a terrible discovery has been made at a manor house in Surrey – the bloodied bodies of Colonel Fletcher, his wife and two of their staff. The victims have all been stabbed – and the lack of disturbance in the house suggests that the attack was once of terrifying speed. The Surrey police force seem ready to put the murders down to robbery with violence, but Detective Inspector Madden, from Scotland Yard, sees things slightly differently.

The Silence Krimi von Katharine Johnson
Dr. Abby Fenton hat eine verdienstvolle Karriere, eine liebevolle Familie, einen beneidenswerten Lebensstil – und ein Geheimnis, das alles zerstören könnte. Als im Boden eines idyllischen Ferienhauses in der Toskana menschliche Überreste entdeckt werden, ist sie gezwungen, sich den Erinnerungen zu stellen, die sie bisher unterdrückt hat und den Sommer 1992, den sie in der Villa verbracht hat, wieder zu erwecken. „The Tuscan setting was perfect for the story. It was masterfully described which brought a great atmosphere to the book and transported me right there. All of the characters were developed brilliantly throughout and each evolved as the story went along.“ (Leserin) (42 Rezensionen / 4,7 Sterne), 295 Seiten – noch gratis?
MEN AMONG SIRENS Literarischer Roman von Jennifer Olmstead
Die bevorstehende Heirat von Ruby Bohan mit ihrem Liebling aus Kindertagen hat märchenhafte Züge, aber eine schicksalhafte Entdeckung nur Tage vor der Hochzeit droht damit, niemanden aus ihrer Familie unversehrt zu lassen – inklusive ihrem hingebungsvollen Adoptiv-Onkel.“I really enjoyed how Ms. Olmstead periodically shows the reader a short scene, with dialogue, into the present, since much of the story is about the past. A very nice touch.“ (Leserin) (13 Rezensionen / 4,9 Sterne), 232 Seiten – noch gratis?

How The Irish Saved Civilization
Historisches Sachbuch von Thomas Cahill
Ireland played the central role in maintaining European culture when the dark ages settled on Europe in the fifth century: as Rome was sacked by Visigoths and its empire collapsed, Ireland became ‚the isle of saints and scholars‘ that enabled the classical and religious heritage to be saved. In his compelling and entertaining narrative, Thomas Cahill tells the story of how Irish monks and scrines copied the mauscripts of both pagan and Christian writers, including Homer and Aristotle, while libraries on the continent were lost forever. Bringing the past and its characters to life, Cahill captures the sensibility of the unsung Irish who relaunched civilisation.
Thomas Cahill ist ein amerikanischer Historiker und Autor. Mit seiner Buchserie „The Hinges of History“, geht er auf wichtige Ereignisse in der westlichen Zivilisation ein. “Lyrical, playful, penetrating and serious … an entirely engaging, delectable voyage into the distant past, a small treasure.” (Richard Bernstein in the New York Times) (635 Rezensionen / 4,3 Sterne), 272 Seiten noch günstig?
Supremacy’s Shadow
For Hayden Cross, a military investigator in the far future, whether his wife faked her death is the question that is probably going to get him killed. Having lost the only job that kept him sane, he has few resources and fewer leads. Oh, and a sadistic crime lord really wants to kill him. As he fights through an underworld of fanatical rebels, callous bounty hunters, and corrupt cops, each step takes him closer to the truth about his wife’s fate and the oppressive government he once loyally served. On the way he may even liberate a planet and stop a war … but only if he betrays everyone he loves.
T. Eric Bakutis entwirft Spiele und hat als Autor bisher Fantasy geschrieben, das ist sein erstes Science Fiction Buch. „This was a hilarity-filled, action packed, absolute joy of a sci-fi romp. From geriatric car chases to merciless insults – even in the worst of situations – Supremacy’s Shadow will make you laugh and cry (though the crying will likely be due to how hard you’re laughing).“ (Leser) (3 Rezensionen / 4,6 Sterne), 371Seiten – noch gratis?
Living the Best Day Ever Biografische Briefe von Sarah E. Mackaman
Nach vier Jahren der Umwerbung haben Edith Edwards und Wayne Mackaman am 15. November 1941 in Des Moines in Iowa geheiratet – ziemlich so weit vom Meer entfernt, wie Amerikaner sein können. Drei Wochen später kam Pearl Harbor. „The personal is indeed political. The personal is also historic. This weaving of a young couple’s love story with the sweeping events of WWII gives us a idea about how to make love last, and of how individuals carry on their private lives in the context of world-changing events.“ (Leser) (21 Rezensionen / 4,7 Sterne), 754 Seiten noch gratis?
