Stealing Power
Thriller von Bo Brennan
Detective Chief Inspector AJ Colt lives his life in the limelight. The charismatic star of New Scotland Yard is public relations gold. Everyone loves him. Well, almost everyone. For three years a vicious serial rapist has been taunting and tormenting him, sending him recordings of every sickening crime he commits. But with no DNA from the devastated victims the trail is stone cold dead, until a familiar landmark leads Colt back to his hometown – the last place on earth he wants to be.
Bo Brennan schreibt spannende Thriller, glücklicherweise können die in jeder beliebigen Reihenfolge gelesen werden. “A very enjoyable read. With all it’s horror it could have been uncomfortable if not for the lighter, human interaction. You could follow along with the case and try to solve the clues yourself.” (Leser) (60 Rezensionen / 4,3 Sterne), 375 Seiten – noch gratis?

Belfast Central
Historischer Thriller von A.K. Amherst
Belfast 1993: A nocturnal ambulance service at the Belfast Central Station almost turns deadly for the young paramedic Ryan. In the crosshairs of the IRA, he is badly wounded and wakes up in the hospital with muddled memories. The police close the case fast, leaving too many burning questions unanswered. Most importantly, who was that old man who appeared at the scene out of nowhere and saved Ryan’s life?
Vor zwölf Jahren hat A.K. Amherst angefangen, diesen Thriller zu schreiben. Und anstatt, wie leider viele Autoren, ein halbgares Werk zu veröffentlichen, hat sie geduldig weitergearbeitet. Jetzt ist es vor wenigen Tagen erschienen und nach meinem Eindruck sehr lesenswert. – noch gratis?
Barry war geduldig, aber nachdem er siebenundzwanzig Jahre lang für Menschen, die er hasst, die Hecken beschnitten hat, hat er genug. Alles was er machen will, ist seinen vermissten Vater finden und seinen inneren Ninja finden. „A little rough around the edges perhaps, if you’re not a typical reader of this type of comedy, but well worth the read and a definite recommend! Just the right amount of laughs and eyebrow-raising unexpected plot twists.“ (Leser) (27 Rezensionen / 4,3 Sterne), 122 Seiten – noch gratis?

The Secret Life of Bletchley Park
Historisches Sachbuch von Sinclair McKay
Bletchley Park was where one of the war’s most famous – and crucial – achievements was made: the cracking of Germany’ s “Enigma” code in which its most important military communications were couched. This country house in the Buckinghamshire countryside was home to Britain’ s most brilliant mathematical brains, like Alan Turing, and the scene of immense advances in technology – indeed, the birth of modern computing. The military codes deciphered there were instrumental in turning both the Battle of the Atlantic and the war in North Africa.
Sinclair McKay ist ein britischer Literaturkritiker bei Zeitungen und der Autor unterschiedlicher Sachbücher. “KeMcKay’s book is an eloquent tribute to a quite remarkable group of men and women, whose like we will not see again.” (Mail On Sunday) (529 Rezensionen / 4,3 Sterne), 372 Seiten noch günstig?

The Bletchley Girls
Historisches Sachbuch von Tessa Dunlop
A refugee from Belgium, a Scottish debutante, a Jewish 14-year-old, and a factory worker from Northamptonshire – the Bletchley Girls confound stereotypes. But they all have one common bond, the war and their highly confidential part in it. In the middle of the night, hunched over meaningless pieces of paper, tending mind-blowing machines, sitting listening for hours on end, theirs was invariably confusing, monotonous and meticulous work, about which they could not breathe a word.By meeting and talking to these fascinating female secret-keepers who are still alive today, Tessa Dunlop captures their extraordinary journeys into an adult world of war, secrecy, love and loss.
Tessa Dunlop ist eine britische Historikerin mit Beiträgen im Fernsehen, Radio und Zeitungen und historischen Sachbüchern. “Dunlop is engaging in her personal approach. Her obvious feminine empathy with the venerable ladies she spoke to gives her book an immediacy and intimacy.” (Daily Mail) (118 Rezensionen / 4,2 Sterne), 352 Seiten noch günstig?

Alan Turing: The Enigma Man
Biografie von Nigel Cawthorne
According to Winston Churchill, Alan Turing made the single biggest contribution to the Allied victory over Nazi Germany with his code-breaking machine. The world is also indebted to Turing’s genius for the modern computer. It was clear that Turing had a remarkable mind from an early age. He taught himself to read in just three weeks. At his first school, the headmistress said, ‚I have had clever and hardworking boys, but Alan has genius.‘ In 1954, he was found dead, poisoned by an apple laced with cyanide.
Nigel Cawthorne ist ein überaus umtriebiger britischer Autor von Sachbüchern und Romanen. “This is a well written book that provides a detailed account of Turing’s life and accomplishments. It provides detailed, but understandable, descriptions of the operation of the Enigma machine and the ingenious means employed to break it.

Early to Bed
Literarischer Roman von Anne Piper
Jenny never realised she was beautiful until the fascinating Jack told her so, and kept painting her, and made life altogether brighter and merrier. He was not the only man who wanted to look after her (though she was perfectly capable of looking after herself)—a Welshman marries her, a French sailor woos her, a Commander, a Colonel—but not so very many really, and after all Jenny is a lot better than a good few people you meet, and not always in books. It’s easy to see why people grow fond of Jenny.
Anne Piper war eine britische Autorin, die in diesem Jahr im Alter von 96 Jahren verstorben ist. „She continued to write and blog energetically and held magnificent parties for her family and friends on the lawns by the Seacourt stream, at which she danced with great vigour.“ (Nachruf ihrer Tochter in The Guardian), 212 Seiten – noch gratis?
