Rogue Wave
Thriller von David F. Berens
Troy Clint Bodean had long ago traded in his sidearm for a fishing rod. But the discovery of a plumed cowboy hat throws his little slice of South Carolina paradise into a tailspin. Turns out, the hat’s last owner kicked the bucket… and the killer has unfinished business. After one too many close shaves with death, Troy wonders if his favorite new fishing hat could throw him overboard. With his style at stake, Troy must team up with the dead man’s kin to bring the killer to justice. While the murderer’s on the loose, he’ll never be safe, and he’ll never know why anyone would want to kill him for an old straw hat.
David F. Berens lebt mitten in Tennessee, aber weil er die amerikanische Ostküste so liebt, spielen seine Thriller da. “Berens takes us on an adventure that while it does deal with murder, it also gives us wink/nudge humor that keeps you entertained, and interested in the story.” (Rezensent) (67 Rezensionen / 4,1 Sterne), 306 Seiten – noch gratis?

Mistaken
Literarischer Roman von Neil Jordan
Kevin Thunder grew up with a double – a boy so uncannily like him that they were mistaken for each other at every turn. As children in 1960s Dublin, one lived next to Bram Stoker’s house, haunted by an imagined Dracula, the other in the more refined spaces of Palmerston Park. Though divided, like the city itself, by background and class, they shared the same smell, the same looks, and perhaps, as he comes to realize, the same soul. They exchange identities when it suits them, as their lives take them to England and America, and find that taking on another’s personality can lead to darker places than either had imagined.
Neil Jordan (* 25. Februar 1950 im County Sligo, Irland) ist ein irischer Filmregisseur, Drehbuchautor, Produzent und Schriftsteller. „A powerfully atmospheric book which turns Dublin into a murky maze of madness and melancholy.“ (Daily Mail) (40 Rezensionen / 3,7 Sterne), 332 Seiten noch günstig?
Crimes of the Levee
Historischer Krimi von John Sturgeon
It is 1905 and Chicago is an open town. The most open part of town is the Levee District. It is an area of the city that’s hard to tell the crooks from the cops. There are brothels, madams, opium dens, gambling joints and plenty of alcohol, but it all comes at a price in the Levee, and the two Ward Aldermen get their share of every vice’s dollar. With the hanging of serial killer, Simon Kluge, police Detective Patrick Moses is suddenly without a case. Before Moses can relax he is approached by an aging retail mogul who asks him to investigate the mysterious shooting death of his son.
John Sturgeon verfasst spannende historische Romane, die im berüchtigten Rotlichtbezirk im Süden von Chicago angesiedelt sind. “I loved this book. It really gives you a glimpse into the seedy underworld of Chicago and the mobsters and crooked Alderman that ran the city for so many years. It is very well researched and well written.” (Rezensentin) (7 Rezensionen / 4,4 Sterne), 252 Seiten – noch gratis?
Die Jugend als Marsianer, die auf der Erde aufgewachsen ist, hat Jas Harrington einsam gelassen, hitzig und ohne jede Toleranz für Dummköpfe. Alles Vorteile, als sie als Sicherheitsoffizierin an Bord von Ausschau haltenden Raumschiffen arbeitet.“The story has a strong female protagonist trying to save the crew and at the same time battling her ship’s captain. I like the book a lot. It is not razzle dazzle Sci-Fi but it is a good story and it is well written.“ (Leser) (66 Rezensionen / 4,4 Sterne), 255 Seiten – noch gratis?

Red Station
Thriller von Adrian Magson
Having been made the scapegoat for a botched drugs intercept operation, MI5 officer Harry Tate is dispatched to ‚Red Station‘, a remote outpost in the Balkans, ostensibly to avoid press scrutiny, but where in effect the security services send ‚problem‘ agents they’d like to be rid of. But the outpost is thrust into the international spotlight when troops begin massing in the area; and, as the situation becomes increasingly dangerous, Tate discovers the real, truly shocking, purpose behind ‚Red Station‘ – and decides to fight back …

Historischer Roman von Kimberly Fish
Lane Mercer, sent to Longview, Texas in July, 1942 is part of a select group of women working undercover for the fledging federal agency, the Office of Strategic Services. Assigned to protect the man carrying out President Roosevelt’s initiative to build the nation’s first overland pipeline to hurry East Texas crude to the troops, she discovers there’s more to Longview than the dossiers implied. There’s intrigue, mayhem, and danger.
Kimberly Fish schreibt zeitgenössische und historische Romane, die fest in ihrer Heimat Texas verankert sind. „Fish does an excellent job of dropping small one-liners that give away a world of information, and just when readers think they are catching sentimentality in Lane, they’re hit with her practicality and career-mindedness.“ (Leserin) (12 Rezensionen / 4,7 Sterne), 344 Seiten – noch gratis?
