Blind Detective

From the thrilling wartime mystery series, now in paperback

Koning C: Murder in Oxford

Murder in Oxford

The thrilling wartime mystery series

Paris, 1945. Frederick Rowlands arrives in a city riven by the political turmoil following the Liberation at the behest of MI5 agent, Iris Barnes. A young woman calling herself Clara Metzner has just been released from Ravensbrück concentration camp - and Rowlands, who last met her in Berlin in 1933, has been given the task of confirming whether she is who she says she is. This is far from easy, not only because of Rowlands' blindness, but because Clara's experiences have changed her almost out of recognition. But her evidence may be vital in assisting Iris to track down suspected collaborators in the upper echelons of French society. Then Clara - or the girl who is claiming to be her - is found dead, in circumstances that point to murder. Thrown into the unfamiliar world of Parisian high society, Rowlands must track down the killer, and prevent further deaths - including his own.

The gripping wartime mystery series

Murder in Paris

Spring, 1941. The struggle of the war continues with grim news of defeats abroad and relentless bombing raids at home. A breakthrough is needed at Bletchley Park where desperate efforts are being made to crack the German Enigma code. This endeavour is suddenly very close to home for Frederick Rowlands, blind veteran of the Great War, when his cryptographer daughter, Margaret, is arrested on suspicion of betraying secrets to the enemy. Then a young woman is found murdered and Rowlands is drawn into a deadly battle of wits where he must decode a series of clues that will lead him to the killer and enable him to discover the real traitor at Bletchley Park.

Murder at Bletchley Park

First published as Line of Sight under A. C. Koning. London, summer 1927. Frederick Rowlands, a First World War veteran who was blinded at Ypres, is working as a switchboard operator in the City when an over-heard telephone conversation draws him into a murder case. From then on, his safe and conventional life, painstakingly reconstructed after the horrors he experienced in the trenches, is shaken to its very foundation. As Fred is drawn deeper into a web of lies and half-truths, he must rely on his remaining senses, as well as his remarkable memory, to uncover the shocking truth about the murder which threatens to undermine everything he holds dear.

Dabei ist sie in den Neunzigerjahrenin einem Leipziger Plattenbauaufgewachsen - umgeben von Nachbarn, die immer noch vom 'Niebormachen' sprechen. Und ihrem Opa, einem weisen Mann im türkisfarbenen, raschelnden Trainingsanzug, der sein Frühstücksei beharrlich mit scharfem Senf isst. Vor allem aber gibt er seiner Enkelin die wohl wichtigste Lektion fürs Leben mit: 'Vom Lachen kriegste Falten, die sich lohnen!'Doch Tina glaubt zunächst, von alledem ganz weit weg zu müssen, um etwas aus sich zu machen. Und zwar was Besonderes. Es zieht sie in die USA, nach Oxford und nach Schweden. Als 'Undercover-Sächsin' jagt sie einer internationalen Wissenschaftskarriere hinterher. Denn wenn einem nach der Wendeangeblich alle Türen offenstehen, sollte man gefälligst durch möglichst viele davon gehen. Oder? Jahre später ist Tina zurück in Leipzigund stellt fest, dass der sorgfältig geplante Lebenslaufnicht mehr zum eigenen Leben passt. Ihr bleibt sprichwörtlich die Luft weg. Das beste Gegenmittel? Sie beginnt, Comedy zu machen. Ausgerechnet auf Sächsisch. Und plötzlich steht genau das im Mittelpunkt, was früher besser niemand merken sollte.Warmherzigund mit viel Humorerzählt Tina Goldschmidt vom Aufwachsenmit dem Nachwendegefühl, die eigene Herkunftbloß unauffällig verbergen zu müssen.

Schnappatmig

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER Tender at the Bone meets Finlay Donovan is Killing It in this hilarious, fast-paced mystery about a feisty food critic in 1970s NY who finds her chef friend murdered and realizes she might be the only one to find the killer. Nobody in Manhattan eats better than Bernice Black. It’s 1972, and she is the city’s busiest restaurant critic, juggling her fiance and his two young sons with demands of fine dining. Bernice talks fast, walks faster, has a razor-sharp wit and no patience for anything--or anyone--that gets in her way. When she stops by the famed restaurant of her favorite chef and mentor, Laurent Tirel, early one morning, she stumbles across a horrific scene in the kitchen: Laurent's severed head, perfectly preserved in a flawless mold of jellied aspic. Her meeting with the cops assigned to the case proves only one thing–they know nothing about food or the seedy underworld that BB Black has made her home. With layoffs looming, Bernice makes the gamble of her career—she promises her editor she can catch Laurent’s killer before the week is out.&nbsp; To Kill a Cook is a delicious, witty, fast-paced mystery with a lovable, unforgettable protagonist at it center.

The Selby Bigge Mysteries series

A gripping 1930s-set whodunnit and love letter to Golden Age crime, this sequel to A Queer Case features amateur sleuth Selby Bigge, who must solve a murder at Lady Malcolm's Servants' Ball in London's Royal Albert Hall. Perfect for fans of Nicola Upson's Josephine Tey novels. London 1930. Selby Bigge and his aristocratic sidekick Theodora Smythe are invited to dine with Doctor Hector Fortescue and his family. While the Victorians might have defined heterosexuality and homosexuality as perversions, the doctor believes the former can be redeemed and the latter cured. Later that evening Theodora becomes Theo and attends the Servants' Ball with Selby - a fancy-dress dance for servants, which attracts queers of all classes. There they meet the impossibly glamorous singer Lady Splendid and various members of the Fortescue household, including the doctor's handsome son, Lancelot. Before the night is out Selby and Theo will have another murder to solve. Digging deeper, the duo discover that secrets abound both above and below stairs in the Kensington home of the Fortescue family. And the stakes get even higher when Selby encounters policemen he's met before - ones who'd love to arrest him for being queer. Can Selby solve the crime or will this be his last dance?
