Antique Hunter's Series

Miller C: The Antique Hunter's Death on
the Red Sea

The Antique Hunter's Death on the Red Sea

A Novel

The third novel in the “delightful, page-turning” (Tom Ryan, USA TODAY bestselling author) Antique Hunter Series finds Freya, Aunt Carole, and friends searching for a missing colleague in picturesque Scotland. Hot on the heels of an art forger, a member of the Lockwood Antique Hunter’s Agency disappears while investigating an isolated castle deep in Scottish countryside. Freya and Aunt Carole race to her last known location and arrive in the wintry, snow-covered Scottish Borders. At the castle, they discover that a murdered laird in the vegetable garden and his priceless collection of silverware has been stolen. Local police believe Freya’s missing team member was involved with the robbery and murder...but where is she now? As a snowstorm descends on the castle, Freya and Carole call in back-up to help uncover what happened that fateful night. As each question is met with more mystery, the clock is ticking to find their friend and the murderer before they are cut off from the outside world. Another delightfully gripping and endearing mystery, the Antique Hunter’s Series provides “great characters, great story, and you’re always eager for the next one” (Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants).

The Antique Hunter's Murder at the Castle

Zwischen Wunderwaffe und Wirtschaftswunder erzählt der Roman 'Wunder Bunker' vom Bau des größten Bunkers Deutschlands mit seinen Konzentrations- und Arbeitslagern als Chiffre deutscher und europäischer Geschichte im Übergang von den vierziger zu den fünfziger Jahren. Als historischer Roman deckt er die Kontinuitäten in dieser Geschichte auf, als literarische Parabel und Tierfabel entfaltet er aus der Perspektive einer Silbermöwe humorvoll die Abgründe menschlichen Daseins, als biographische Skizze beleuchtet er unterschiedliche Figuren, von Lagerinsassen aus ganz Europa, von Architekten und Ingenieuren, von Wachmannschaften und scheinbar unbeteiligten Nachbarn als Psychogramm der Zeit, als Thriller entfaltet er die Spannungen zwischen brutaler Gewalt und ästhetischem Widerstand.

Wunder Bunker

Sie nennen ihn den Polaroid-Killer. Wenn sie die Überreste seiner Opfer finden, stecken die Fotos in ihren Mündern. Ihren Augenhöhlen. Tief in ihren Eingeweiden. Ein Sadismus, der über den Tod hinausgeht.
Noch bevor die Mordserie beginnt, stoßen Student Luca und seine Mitbewohnerin Maja online auf verstörende Videos eines Tierquälers. Fest entschlossen, dem Uploader das Handwerk zu legen, schließen sie sich einer Gruppe von Internet-Hobbydetektiven an. Schon bald sind sie sicher, dass die menschliche Bestie zu größerer Beute übergegangen ist und mittlerweile als Polaroid-Killer auf Menschenjagd geht. Aber als sie zu tief graben, fallen sie in ein blutgetränktes Rabbithole. Was sie am tiefsten Punkt entdecken, übersteigt jegliche Vorstellungskraft.

Dark Slide

Kamal Shair's book is a classic rags to riches story: the village boy, who with determination and education, achieves business success, wealth, more wealth, and then influence and power. What makes it unusual is that it emanates from the Arab world. Rarely among Arabs have individuals from thoroughly modest backgrounds, with no access to links, networks or connections become truly global commercial players. Shair was born in a small town in what was then Transjordan and dragged himself through school (his mother was illiterate), moved to college in Beirut, then sailed off to America (Michigan and Yale) and returned to the Middle East to create a multinational corporate empire engaged in trade, construction and manufacturing. Dar al Handasah - Arabic for House of Engineers - was founded in a small flat in Beirut and today, spans the globe with offices in 37 countries. In its early years, Dar al Handasah fought off competition from established western consultancies to win contracts for prestige engineering throughout the Middle East. Eventually, its activities extended further to Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. By not following the usual pattern of patronage and favours, Kamal Shair applied a fresh kind of ethic in an environment with a loosely-structured business ethic. In the process, he lived through and witnessed at first hand and at close quarters some of the most dramatic events of the modern Arab world. This is quite an extraordinary tale and a very original prism through which to read the turbulent post-World War II history of the Middle East. At the same time we see the growth, despite all the odds, of one of the world's great engineering and business enterprises in a narrative of epic and inspirational proportions.

The Emergence of an Arab Global Business

Out of the Middle East

An in-depth exploration of the network of agencies involved in policing child pornography—and what the future of security and care looks like. Facing the Child investigates the technocratic expertise in the policing of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Mitali Thakor argues that CSAM has come to be framed as primarily a digital problem, to be resolved digitally, thereby unleashing a new form of corporatized policing helmed by global technology companies. Ambitious in scope, this multi-sited global ethnography draws on 4 years of original fieldwork and interviews with technology companies in the US, the United Nations in Bangkok, Thai and Dutch NGOs, and law enforcement in the US and the Netherlands. The book argues that in the 2010s, a network of technology companies, NGOs, and law enforcement created the notion of a “virtual child” in need of techno-solutionist saving to justify a vast expansion of surveillance technologies. The book examines how pervasive myths of child abuse online were exploited to serve the aims of seemingly disparate groups, from Christian neo-abolitionists to NGOs conducting virtual sting operations. It is this complex relationship between the care and securitization needed to fix the child victim as an object of data, concern, and rescue that the book explores.

Facing the Child

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.

DELUXE EDITION-a beautiful hardcover edition featuring sprayed edges, a designed case stamp, and fully illustrated color endpapers. From New York Times bestselling author Olivie Blake comes a tantalizing story of power, seduction, and the omens you'll ignore when everything you've dreamed of feels just within reach. The headlines are calling it the "summer of exsanguination" in LA-girls are being murdered, the Santa Ana winds are blowing a strange energy into the city, and all signs point to fire season. More pressing for Anya Morris, though, is the drudgery of living at home, working part time at the family store, and contending with her mother's disdain for the acting career Anya knows she's destined for but that feels more impossible by the day. It's in this suffocating late summer heat that Anya receives a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an invitation to work for the de Witt family, one of LA's most influential film dynasties. Soon, she's spending her days and nights at their strange villa high in the Hollywood Hills, where she meets Jude, a recluse who is both the family's heir apparent and its most closely guarded secret. There's a magnetism to Jude that Anya cannot resist, despite warning signs that scream like sirens in the night. Because the villa holds generations of bloodstained history, and an occult family curse may even live within its walls-or within Jude himself. In this city, everyone cuts a deal with the devil. When Anya comes face to face with a devil of her own, she'll learn just how far she's willing to go to get everything she's ever wanted.

In the 19th century, artistic engagement with medieval architecture was closely connected to its academic study. Alongside art historians, architects and painters also played a key role in collecting, organizing, and communicating knowledge about architectural history. This publication shows that not only objective documentation, but above all the creative transformation of historical buildings was a particular strength of research in architectural history. Starting from a transnational comparison of architectural paintings, museum installations, garden spaces, and projects for the preservation of monuments, cross-genre strategies for dealing with historical designs are analyzed and re-evaluated as creative contributions to the emerging discipline of architectural history.<ul> <li>Transnational perspective on European images of the Middle Ages during the 19th century </li><li>Design-based research practice in the 19th century: Part of the current debate on research by design</li> <li>Artistic design presented as an instrument for developing and communicating knowledge </li></ul>

Die Washingtoner Prinzipien von 1998, fordern die Signatarstaaten zu "gerechten und fairen Lösungen" im Umgang mit "NS-Raubkunst" auf. Das Vereinigte Königreich setzte diesen Appell im Jahr 2000 mit Einrichtung des "Spoliation Advisory Panel" (SAP) um, das seither einen Streitbeilegungsmechanismus bietet, um auf die Ansprüche Berechtigter zu reagieren. Dieser Band nimmt die 22 Empfehlungen in den Blick, die das Panel bislang ausgesprochen hat. Die Entscheidungen werden vor dem Hintergrund der englischen Rechtstradition und -praxis sowie der historischen Rolle des Vereinigten Königreichs analysiert, systematisiert und einem abstrakten Regelwerk zugeführt. Die so sichtbar gemachte Entscheidungslinie des SAP kann als Diskussions- und Vergleichsgrundlage für die Restitutionspraxen anderer Staaten herangezogen werden.
