Die Knudsen/La Lotse-Serie

Schlenz K: Lieblingsleichen

Lieblingsleichen

Kriminalroman - Ein neuer Fall für Kommissar Knudsen und seinen Freund La Lotse

Spannend, brisant, mit norddeutschem Charme: Das Krimiduo Schlenz/Jepsen überzeugt mit aktuellen Themen und grandioser Hamburg-Atmosphäre.
 
 
 Kommissar Knudsen steht unter Druck: Ein Serienmörder tötet Menschen, die mit dem Hamburger Hafen zu tun haben, und verschwindet dann wieder in den Tiefen der Elbe. Das LKA Altona hat eine kleine Aktivistengruppe im Verdacht. Die kämpft seit Jahren gegen die umstrittene Elbvertiefung, die den großen Container-Riesen das Befahren des Flusses garantieren soll. Das Problem, wie so oft: Ökonomie vor Ökologie. Durch das tonnenweise Ausbaggern von Schlick hat sich das Ökosystem der Elbe längst dramatisch verändert. Doch sind der Umweltschutzgruppe auch Morde zuzutrauen? Kommissar Knudsen und seine Kollegin (und heimlicher Schwarm) Dörte kreisen den Täter immer mehr ein. In der Zwischenzeit wird Knudsens Freund Oke Andersen wegen Personalmangels kurzzeitig als Lotse reaktiviert - und muss an Bord eines gigantischen Containerschiffs versuchen, eine Katastrophe für die Hansestadt zu verhindern.

Kriminalroman

Schlick

Er ist eingewickelt wie eine Mumie: In seiner Wohnung in Hamburg-Altona wird ein Toter gefunden. Verdurstet, so hat es den Anschein. An der Zimmerwand eine kryptische Botschaft: "Das Andere der Vernunft". Was soll das? Kommissar Knudsen, leitender Ermittler des LKA in Altona, tappt im Dunkeln. Und schon bald werden weitere Leichen gefunden - erfroren, vergiftet, eingesperrt in einer dunklen Schreckens-Kammer. Und an den Wänden immer geheimnisvolle Botschaften, die nur schwer zu deuten sind. Gewiss ist nur eins: ein Serientäter treibt sein Unwesen. Doch wie ihn stoppen, wenn man sein Motiv nicht kennt? Mit Hilfe von Knudsens väterlichem Freund La Lotse, einem ehemaligen Hochseekapitän, finden die Beamten schließlich die ausschlaggebende Verbindung zwischen den Opfern. Die Spur führt in die Vergangenheit auf eine einsame Insel in der Elbe. In ein Gebäude, das seine ehemaligen Bewohner nur das kalte Haus nannten ...

Der Schattenmann

So einen exzentrisch exponierten Toten hat der Hamburger Kommissar Thies Knudsen, leitender Ermittler des LKA in Altona, noch nie gesehen: Die hölzerne Kunstfigur »Bojenmann«, die bei Övelgönne im Fluss auf einer Tonne steht, ist über Nacht abgesägt und ausgetauscht worden. Durch eine ähnlich aussehende, besonders makabre Leiche. Knudsen und sein Team, die toughe Dörte Eichhorn und die Forensikerin »Spusi« Diercks, sind ratlos. War hier ein Spinner am Werk? Oder steckt mehr dahinter? Schon bald ist klar: Ein Serientäter sucht Hamburg heim, denn weitere kunstvoll hergerichtete Opfer folgen. 
 
 Kommissar Knudsen tut schließlich das, was er immer tut, wenn er nicht weiter weiß: er fragt seinen alten Freund Oke La Lotse Andersen um Rat. Der ehemalige Lotse lebt direkt an der Elbe in Övelgönne, unweit vom Tatort, hat Elbwasser im Blut, kennt sich bestens aus im Hafen der Hansestadt, ist außerdem belesen und denkt scharf. Andersen bringt Knudsen und sein Team schließlich auf die richtige Spur. Sie führt zu einem Mann, der seit Jahren verschwunden ist - und einer internationalen Seemannsmission, dem Duckdalben. Hier laufen alle Fäden zusammen. Doch können sie den Mörder stoppen, bevor er erneut zuschlägt?

The characters are really well written, the story is excellent and the twists just kept on coming' 5***** reader review 'What an epic psychological thriller this is! I finished it in one day, that's how much I loved it. Twists, turns, red herrings, it has it all. The ending...just WOW' 5***** reader review ---- Natalie has spent ten years trying to get over the twin set of events which changed her life forever. The first: the moment her boss assaulted her. The second: the moment the jury declared him innocent - and her, a liar. The memories continue to haunt Natalie, and in her attempts to block out the past, she often wakes up with no memory of where she's been - or what she's done. So when her husband, Ryan, gets accused of the same crime, Natalie comes perilously close to the edge. Natalie wants to believe him. But when the body of the young woman who made the accusation is found in the woods near their house, Ryan becomes a prime suspect, and Natalie realises she can't trust anyone - herself included... ---- Why readers LOVE Believe 'A truly excellent debut.

Eine Kriminalnovelle

Der Nachtconcierge

Some nightmares don't just follow you.
 They hunt you.
For Maddie and Sandy, a simple road trip through the Arkansas wilderness becomes a descent into pure terror. What starts as a routine girls' vacation trip transforms into a calculated pursuit and a deadly game.
There's something in the rearview mirror.
 And it's getting closer.
A blue truck appears in the rearview mirror. Not by chance. Not by accident. With a precision that suggests something far more sinister than random road rage.
They're not just being followed.
 They're being hunted.
Trapped between an abandoned farmhouse and the dark Ozark woods, with a predator who seems to know their every move before they make it, Maddie and Sandy realize this is no ordinary pursuit. This is a game. And the rules are written in terror.
Some roads are not meant to be traveled.
 Some hunters don't just kill.
 They consume.
A heart-stopping thriller that will make you think twice about every car behind you.

Rearview Mirror

From the author of BBC Between the Covers pick The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou. 'Gripping and compelling.' LAURA MARSHALL 'A magnificent melodrama, full of glamour and grit.' THE TIMES THREE WOMEN. ONE SHOT AT REVENGE. Hollywood, 1954. At night, before we're strapped to our beds, the nurses let us watch a film. We're allowed a moment of make believe, as the faces of stars fill the screen. Tonight, though, I recognise the man on screen. His name is written large above the title on the opening credits. Everyone knows him. But I know him. I know that he likes his coffee strong and his women weak. I know that he owns the world yet is terrified of losing it. I know what happened on the night of the Oscars party. And it's time for me to get out of here and tell the world what he did. Following the story of three women in the orbit of the same insidious man, A Beautiful Way to Die is a true-crime-inspired thriller perfect for fans of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Bright Young Women and The Silent Patient. 'Deeply atmospheric... I couldn't put this down.' LOUISE HARE 'Dark and gripping.' NIKKI SMITH 'Evocative, tense, seductive.' TAMMY COHEN 'I was utterly gripped.' LESLEY KARA 'Both dazzling and devastating.' CLARE WHITFIELD

A Beautiful Way to Die

The addictive missing girl thriller where everyone has something to hide

Gone for Good

Gedichte, gespeist von einem großen europäischen Fluss&nbsp;Uwe Kolbe spricht in seinem neuen Gedichtband 'Das Alter der Elbe' von der Elbe und ihrem weit gefassten Einzugsgebiet. Die Gedichte folgen autobiographischen und zeitgeschichtlichen Spuren, vom 
Schleppkahn der Eltern im Interzonenverkehr zwischen Ost und West über die Verbrechen der NS-Zeit bis zu heutigen, realen Ufern. Poetische Momentaufnahmen wie die Zusammenschau von Wanderungen und Reisen entlang der Gewässer wechseln sich ab. Dabei strömen und mäandern die Gedichte wie die Gewässer selbst. Und natürlich führen sie uns auch zu den Quellen: zu den realen Quellen der Elbe im tschechischen Riesengebirge, vor allem aber zu den Mythen und Legenden, die die Elbe mit sich führt.

Kommunismus op Kölsch

For fans of Holly Jackson and Jessica Goodman, this high-stakes thriller is set in a virtual-reality paradise turned hellscape, where two ex-best friends enter into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. "An edge-of-your-seat thriller about friendship and ex-friendship, love, loss, and longing, and the need to belong that is as honest and relatable as it is spine-tingling. Don’t miss this one." —Jennifer Niven, #1 NY Times bestselling author of All the Bright Places At the start of each school year, Madison Pembroke, the most popular girl at Lincoln Academy, sends out invitations to her epic birthday party in the form of custom forged spiral keys. For that one night, a few lucky teens get to enter Ametrine, a virtual paradise that hosts the party of the year—a wild, unforgettable celebration that will secure their social status in the real world. As Madison’s hated ex-BFF, Bree Benson never receives a key. Until now. Despite warnings from her boyfriend, Bree sees the invite as an olive branch, the perfect opportunity to rekindle her once-amazing friendship with Madison. But as the party games begin to turn provocative and violent, Bree finds that Ametrine might not be the decadent wonderland she was promised. And that Madison may have let Bree enter Ametrine, but she has no intention of ever letting her leave . . . Kelsey Day’s gripping debut shows that while best friends know each other the best, ex–best friends know how to hurt each other the worst.
