Vengeance

HAYMON TASCHENBUCH

Am Ende des Regenbogens ist nicht alles Gold, was glänzt: Patsy Logan stürzt sich auf Irland in eine Vergangenheit, die nie wirklich ruhen konnte. 

Wenn der irische Segen bricht ... 
St. Patrick's Day 1989 wurde nicht nur in Irland standesgemäß gefeiert, wenige Tage später wurde auch im bayrischen Freilassing auf die grüne Insel angestoßen - zumindest bei der deutsch-irischen Familie Logan. Ein rauschendes Grillfest im Garten, das schnell in ein kollektives Fantasieren über große Zukunftsvisionen und ehrgeizige Businessideen mündete. Im Zentrum des whiskeygeschwängerten Pläneschmiedens: die drei Freunde Fergal, Mannix und Arthur und dazwischen die kleine Patsy. Ein Foto hält den Moment für die Ewigkeit fest - und wird Jahrzehnte später zum Beweisstück eines Verbrechens. Denn Fergal Massey, mittlerweile Pub-Betreiber in München, wird beim Besuch seiner alten Heimat Dublin erschossen. 

Wer im Dunkeln tappt, könnte unverhofft über die Wahrheit stolpern
Schon vor einiger Zeit hat Kriminalkommissarin Patsy Logan ihren Alltag in München hinter sich gelassen - für eine, zugegeben, schon längere Auszeit in Irland. Doch die Lesung eines Kollegen führt sie zurück in die bayerische Hauptstadt. Kaum angekommen, holt sie mit dem Mordfall an Fergal ein Teil ihrer eigenen Vergangenheit ein. Fergal und Patsys Vater Arthur verband nach dem verhängnisvollen Feiertag 1989 mehr als Freundschaft. Zusammen mit Mannix bauten sie ein Transportunternehmen auf, das mit besonderer Fracht rasch lukrative Geschäfte machen konnte. Als Patsy für Fergals Gedenkfeier zurück nach Dublin reist, droht sie sich in einem Labyrinth aus ungebrochener Loyalität, ungesühnten Verbrechen und persönlichen Abgründen zu verirren. Schon bald geht es nicht mehr nur um die Aufklärung eines Mordes, sondern auch um die Wahrheit hinter dem rätselhaften Selbstmord von Patsys Vater, der sie seit Jahren nicht loslässt.

Ellen Dunne zündet ein sprachliches Feuerwerk über Dublin
An der Hand von Patsy Logan drängen wir uns durch die engen Gassen Dublins, nippen im traditionellen Pub an der Ecke an einem Guinness und spüren auf den stürmischen Klippen der Halbinsel Howth den Wind in den Haaren. Ellen Dunne, die seit 20 Jahren in Irland lebt, schreibt uns Wort für Wort ins wahre Dublin - fernab von Touristenströmen und Postkartenidylle. Was ist schon eine Fahrt im Hop-on-Hop-off Bus, wenn wir stattdessen durch die lebendige und ungeschönte Stadt ziehen können? Dunne weckt für uns schlafende Hunde, gibt einen Einblick in Irlands dramatische Vergangenheit und reißt uns mit ihrer kraftvollen Sprache, die ihr bereits mehrere Krimipreise einbringen konnte, mit.

The Kyiv Mysteries

"Ukraine's greatest living writer" The Times "Andrey Kurkov is often called Ukraine's greatest living writer, and it is a gift for crime fiction fans that he writes in this genre" New York Times Fresh from a case that has shattered his belief in the regime he works for, Samson Kolechko is confronted with a mystery that borders on the impossible. A troop of Red Army soldiers has disappeared without a trace while visiting the Halytska bathhouse, their abandoned boots and uniforms the only proof that they ever existed. Faced with such a fantastical conundrum, Samson must resort to a fantastical investigation method: stitching his operative severed ear into a bathhouse worker's jacket, he is able to eavesdrop on his every move. But he discovers far more than he bargained for, and matters are further complicated by the human remains found in the stoves and the presence of a sinister religious cult in the city. With his quick-witted new wife Nadezhda at his side, Samson must not only solve the case but navigate the political turmoil that still grips Kyiv as civil war looms and trust between neighbours and comrades is eroded day by day. In the third of his Kyiv Mysteries, Andrey Kurkov, Ukraine's greatest living novelist, vividly depicts a city filled with political turbulence and eccentric characters - and draws ominous parallels with the present day. Translated from the Russian by Boris Dralyuk

The Trad Wife

Die beiden Beamten Christian Henning und Tanja Sievers werden in die Kieler Universität gerufen. Was zunächst lediglich nach Randale am Campus klingt, entpuppt sich schnell als handfester Mordfall. Je weiter die Beamten ermitteln, desto mehr tun sich Abgründe hinter den Beteiligten auf und aus einem zunächst simpel erscheinenden Mord erwächst ein Fall mit großer Tragweite. Nicht genug damit entwickelt sich die bisher auf der Polizeiwache geheimgehaltene Beziehung zwischen Tanja und Christian immer mehr zu einer Situation, die für Probleme sorgt ... 
Akribisch recherchiert und mit einem geschulten Blick für den Polizeialltag in der Landeshauptstadt erweckt die Kieler Zeichnerin Vanessa Drossel ihre Figuren zum Leben und mit einer Prise Drama und Liebesbeziehung rundet sie Grundkurs Mord gekonnt zu einer ganz persönlichen Geschichte ab, die von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite fesselt.
