Cash Blackbear Mysteries

* WINNER OF THE PINCKLEY PRIZE FOR BEST DEBUT NOVEL * 'Beautifully written, with an appealing central character' - GUARDIAN 'A starkly beautiful piece of American noir' - TARIQ ASHKANANI Minnesota, 1971. Nineteen-year-old Renee 'Cash' Blackbear spends her days playing pool, drinking beer and driving trucks for the local wheat farmers. Bounced around foster homes like so many other Ojibwe children, Cash doesn't bother much with friends - except her guardian, Sheriff Wheaton, who's kept an eye out for her since she went into the system. When the body of a murdered Ojibwe man is found discarded in a cornfield, Wheaton asks Cash for help. The residents of the nearby Red Lake Reservation have good reason to distrust outsiders, and Cash may be the only one who can get them to talk. But racial tensions run deep along the Red River, and soon Cash isn't only searching for justice: she's fighting for her life. 'Oozes lyrical prose, an exquisite sense of place and truly authentic characters' - HEATHER CRITCHLOW 'With thoughtful writing that resonates and a great protagonist. Cash Blackbear is unforgettable' - CAROLINE HULSE

The inspiration for the Netflix original series starring Mia McKenna-Bruce, Helena Bonham Carter, and Martin Freeman!A practical joke goes chillingly, murderously wrong in Queen of Mystery Agatha Christie’s classic detective story, Seven Dials.Gerry Wade had proved himself to be a champion sleeper, so the other houseguests decided to play a practical joke on him. Eight alarm clocks were set to go off, one after the other, starting at 6:30 a.m. But when morning arrived, one clock was missing and the prank then backfired, with tragic consequences.For Jimmy Thesiger in particular, the words "Seven Dials" were to take on a new and chilling significance. . . .

The Dead

In this sequel to McMahon's electrifying series debut, Head Cases, Gardner Camden and the PAR team return to investigate potentially connected cases. FBI Agent Gardner Camden is an analytical genius with an affinity for puzzles. He and his squad of brilliant yet quirky agents make up the Patterns and Recognition (PAR) unit, the FBI's hidden edge, brought in for cases that no one else can solve. PAR's latest case involves a militia group stockpiling weapons. When their confidential informant in the case is killed, it quickly becomes clear that the militia did not kill him. As the squad looks into the evidence surrounding his murder, an unidentified man is caught on camera with their informant. This mystery man's picture is connected to another case at the FBI, an unsolved series of murdered women, buried in the ground in north Florida. Could they have uncovered a serial killer? And if so, what is his connection to their C.I.? As PAR juggles an investigation into both the dead women and the militia, they enroll a new informant, only to find the case escalating in dangerous ways. How will PAR handle a case that increasingly looks like a terrorist plot? And in the serial case, with no puzzles or witnesses, and few leads, how will a group set up to decode riddles be successful?

A Head Cases Novel

Inside Man

Perchtenrock ist eine Sammlung von drei Krimis, die alle im Almenland in der Steiermark spielen. Die Autorin hat in die drei Geschichten viel Lokalkolorit, eine Prise Humor und auch Romantik einfließen lassen. In allen drei Erzählungen stehen jeweils in der Steiermark
bekannte regionale Ereignisse im Vordergrund, die das Milieu für die Verbrechen
liefern. Im Perchtenrock spielen die furchterregenden Masken der
Perchten aus dem traditionellen Brauchtum eine Rolle bei den aufzuklärenden
Verbechen. Der Gasener Musi Kirtag liefert die Kulisse für den zweiten Krimi
und das Adventkonzert am 8. Dezember wird einem Mann zum Verhängnis, der
aus Habgier umgebracht wird. In allen drei Krimis klären die Inspektoren
Franz Möstl und Kathi Unger mit akribischer Genauigkeit und der steirischen
Geduld sowie viel Kaffee die Straftaten auf und überführen die Verbrecher.

Drei Almenland Krimis

Perchtenrock

Frau Appeldorn

Frau Appeldorn und ihrem Kulturverein ist es gelungen, die große Operndiva Constanze Wegemann zu einem Konzert in die Stadt zu holen. Doch als sie zum Auftritt auf die Bühne kommen soll, findet man sie tot in der Garderobe. Frau Appeldorn erkennt sofort: Es war Mord.

Gemeinsam mit ihrem Nachbarn Alican Büyüktürk macht sie sich daran, die Hintergründe zu ermitteln. Die Diva war als schwierig verschrien und hat sich im Laufe der langen Karriere viel Feinde gemacht. War vielleicht ihr Manager Helmut Lehnert genervt von ihren ständigen Allüren? Wieso erscheint überraschend der ehemalige Geliebte der Sängerin beim Konzert auf?

Je tiefer sie in die Geschehnisse eintauchen, desto mehr Fragen tauchen auf. Aber Frau Appeldorn lässt sich nicht beirren und taucht tief in das Leben der Diva ein. Dabei trägt sie stets ihren roten Hut.
