Her Perfect Escape

Smoke and Embers

Ist die Hansestadt noch zu retten? In der Senatorenrunde wird gekifft, dass sich die Koggen biegen - die Bewerbung um Olympia 2036 soll Penunzen in die klammen Kassen spülen - und dann kündigt sich auch noch ein Diktator an, auf der Domsheide zu seinen Anhängern sprechen zu wollen.

Der Erste Bürger ist überfordert: Er soll die Brandmauer gegen rechts stützen - seine Töchter schützen - und alles im Kampf gegen biedere Schlafmützen ...

J.B. Cool im Dauereinsatz, an seiner Seite der Hundegigant Waldemar, dessen Wortbeiträge in den Senatssitzungen sehr karg ausfallen. Nö, sagt er gerne. Aber man sollte ihn niemals unterschätzen.

Nach 'J.B. Cool - Revisited' folgt nun ein tollkühnes Finale. Sollte das wirklich der letzte Auftritt der stets bekifften Detektive J.B. Cool und Theo Zenker sein? Wer's glaubt, hat schon verloren.

Everybody must get stoned - singen sie schon wieder im Bob-Dylan-Chor.

Murder Below Deck

Station Eleven meets Leave the World Behind in this family drama at the end of the world about a crumbling household’s attempts to find their way back to each other amidst a cataclysmic event. "Our father had imagined the end of the world so often that, for a while, he believed that he summoned it." The Minton family is in crisis. After losing his job, Marcus begins stockpiling cans, running evacuation drills and digging a doomsday bunker in the back garden. At the same time, his daughters are unravelling in their own ways – Chantale is being haunted by dreams of disaster, and Briar’s obsession with a missing classmate draws her deeper into the seductive world of a UFO cult. Meanwhile, no one is aware of the diagnosis their mother has been trying to keep hidden. When, on the morning of the eldest daughter’s wedding, an extinction-level event tears the world apart, the Mintons must fight their way through a devastated city—back to safety, survival, and each other.

Walter Nash began a journey down a dark path of seemingly no return, and now he &nbsp;finds himself questioning everything that got him there in this thrilling sequel to Nash Falls from #1&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author David Baldacci. Walter Nash, working under the alias of Dillon Hope, is on the road to revenge after becoming an informant for the FBI against a global criminal operation headed up by Victoria Steers. Steers has ripped everything Nash held dear away from him. He has nothing left to lose and with long, rigorous training under his belt the gentle and sensitive Nash has transformed into something he never thought he’d be: a physically imposing man with lethal skills. And now he has only goal left in life: taking down Victoria Steers. In order to succeed, he’s going to need to cross enemy lines and work the job from the inside. But Steers is shrewd and only brings those she trusts completely into her inner circle. Nash must rely on every ounce of his hard-earned skills in order to prove himself an ally to Steers if he’s ever going to get close enough to decimate her criminal empire. Yet, despite hating the woman for destroying his life, Nash finds himself oddly drawn to Steers in ways that he never could’ve imagined. And what he ultimately discovers will turn all he believed upside down, forcing Nash to do something truly unfathomable. So, will the truth set Nash free? Or end him?

We Were Never Friends

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.
