Edgar Wallace: The Law of the Four Just
Men

The Law of the Four Just Men

Blumen sind im Laufe der Jahrhunderte zu Metaphern geworden: Rote Rosen stehen für Liebe, weiße Blumen symbolisieren Reinheit und Trauer, gelbe Blüten Freundschaft und Rosa Zärtlichkeit. Gerbera bedeuten Lebensfreude, Chrysanthemen Dankbarkeit und Vergissmeinnicht Treue. Sie sind mehr als nur Blumen - die Erwähnung einer jeden Pflanze öffnet auch ein Spek­trum an Emotionen und Assoziationen. Das vorliegende Buch ist ein literarisches Herbarium. Jeder Text kann als feinfühlige Kartografie innerer und äußerer Naturen verstanden werden. Möglicherweise offenbart es sich als kleine, aber feine Textsammlung, die verschiedene Essenzen menschlicher Erfahrung aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven präsentiert.

Tom Gates 24: Pesky Pets and Parties (Book 24)

Die Ich-Erzählerin wird süchtig bei der Beobachtung von chats zwischen ihrem Freund im fernen Irkutsk (Sibirien) und vermutlich einer weiblichen Person. Da sie die Inhalte dieser Konversationen nicht erkennen kann steigert sie sich mehr und mehr in bizarre Fantasie-Vorstellungen, gerät immer tiefer in Abhängigkeit und Verzweiflung. Sie reist sogar nach Irkutsk zur heimlichen Beobachtung und wird vollends zur Stalkerin. Nachdem sie dort zusätzlich ein Detektivbüro beauftragt hat mit zweifelhaften Ergebnissen entschließt sie sich zu einer perfiden Vergeltung.

Chronologie einer Besessenheit

Auf der Lauer

'Poignant, thought-provoking and very funny' JOANNA CANNON 'Darkly comic and deeply felt' GRACE FLAHIVE Full of wit, heart and charm, Ghost Month asks a timeless question: do we only value life when we are reminded that it will end? Perhaps you've already noticed little things, strange details. A shadow not attached to anything. A face in a window which might be a trick of the light. They come at dusk. Today. Every September, the spirits of the dead return before vanishing four weeks later in a puff of green ash. The haunting has become a holiday - part Christmas, part Halloween, full of annual reckonings with the past. The ghosts aren't real in any way that can hurt you, so it's hard to tell the silent spectres from ashen commuters: they linger on train platforms, they crowd buses, they take up space on your sofa. The proper term these days is 'people without pulses'. This year, four strangers prepare for a visit from their dearly departed. The season forces them to confront all the things that haunt them, not just their dead. As suppressed truths emerge from the shadows, each of them will end Ghost Month changed in ways they never imagined. Happy Haunting. Readers loved Ghost Month: 'Eerie and tender, playful and profound, it lingers like a whisper long after the final page' 'Astounding . . . This is a book is going to stay with me for a very long time to come' 'Brilliant! A touching story of helping one another through life and death' 'Atmospheric and beautifully written, it's haunting in more ways than one' 'I genuinely didn't want to put it down'

Ghost Month

Anna Brenner bucht die Wohnung für drei Monate. Vier Quadratmeter Terrasse, zwei Plastikstühle, Meerblick. Eigentlich wollte sie nur weg - aus Zürich, aus der Ehe, aus einer Erschöpfung, die sich nicht benennen ließ.

Vor der Haustür sitzt ein Hund. Er heißt Brio, ist alt, und weicht nicht.

Sein Besitzer ist Luca Ferretti, Fischhändler, verwitwet seit zwei Jahren. Er braucht nicht viele Sätze. Die, die er sagt, meint er.

Vernazza ist ein Dorf, in dem nichts vergessen wird: Die Boote tragen die Namen der Toten. Die Häuser stehen, wo sie immer standen. Und ein Hund weiß genau, wo er schläft.

Anna hatte geplant zurückzugehen. Dann rief Zürich an, und sie sagte zu. Dann rief Vernazza zurück - nicht laut, nicht dramatisch. Einfach: da.

*Das Meer vergisst nichts* ist eine Liebesgeschichte ohne Pathos. Über zwei Menschen, die sich nicht suchen. Über einen Hund, der weiß, was er tut. Und über die Frage, ob ein Leben, das man nicht geplant hat, trotzdem das richtige sein kann.

Das Meer vergisst nichts

Some of David's stories are like fascinating travelogues; others appear to be domestic dramas, except that they metamorphose into something altogether darker, or even unequivocally strange. All of them display a keen imagination and prove David's ability to make what he imagined come to life on the page. These are the stories (and a few poems) that David selected himself before his passing at the end of 2025.

Strawberries and Cream

Ich begann mein Leben nicht in Geborgenheit - sondern in Angst.

Als in ihrer Heimat der Krieg ausbrach, war Karmen Schulmeister noch ein Kind. Was folgte, waren Flucht, Entbehrung und ein Leben voller Neuanfänge.

Schon früh lernte sie, auf sich selbst gestellt zu sein. Sie kämpfte sich durch Armut, Ablehnung und Unsicherheit - und hielt an einem Versprechen fest: sich ein besseres Leben aufzubauen.

Diese wahre Geschichte zeigt, wie viel ein Mensch ertragen kann - und wie stark man werden kann, wenn man niemals aufgibt.

Meine wahre Geschichte

Aus den Trümmern eines Flüchtlingskindes

Schicksalshafte Begegnungen über Leben und Tod hinaus

Wenn Seelen sich wiedererkennen

'A writer to keep a close eye on' The New York Times 'Quiet and beautifully written, Discipline plays masterfully' Buzz Magazine When two people fall apart, who gets to tell their story? Christine is a young writer touring her debut novel - a thinly disguised tale of the affair she had with her professor ten years earlier. He was magnetic, domineering, both the sponsor of her early promise and its destroyer. But he surely forgot her long ago, and the temptation to exorcise her past was overwhelming. Then, between hotel rooms and bookstores, formal dinners and road-trip hook-ups, she receives a series of sly, unsettling emails and finally an invitation to visit the professor's isolated house on an island off the coast of Maine. Against her better judgement, Christine is drawn back into his orbit, risking forever losing control of the narrative she's worked so hard to create. Taut and provocative, Discipline walks the lines between creativity and control, truth and memory, coercion and desire. READER REVIEWS: 'If you enjoyed Outline by Rachel Cusk or Mona by Pola Oloixarac, I think you will really like Discipline' 'The best book I read in 2025' 'Pham's writing completely held me. Each page left me wanting more' 'A provocative and intriguing debut, masterfully executed' 'Discipline is a storm on the horizon, a prismatic and haunting story'

One of the Most Anticipated Debuts of the Year

Discipline

This is the story of two Englishmen who become neighbours in a Swiss city, their lives unexpectedly entwined despite the generational divide between them. One is a Generation Z young man, born at the turn of the millennium; the other, a Boomer, shaped by the mid-twentieth century. As their differences surface, tensions grow - especially when sexual conflict enters the equation.

The women in their lives - an ex-lover of the younger man and a long-standing friend of the older - become catalysts for an emotional reckoning. What begins as a connection built on common ground unravels into confrontation, ultimately leading to the breakdown of their relationship.

A thought-provoking exploration of generational contrasts, personal identity, and the fragile nature of human connection.

The Wednesday Friend

Longlisted for the 2026 PEN / Hemingway Award for Debut Novel Winner of the 2025 Barnes &amp; Noble Discover Prize. A New York Times Book of the Year.

ALISON ESPACH, author of The Wedding People'One of the most delightful debuts I've read in a long time.' The New York TimesA man and a woman walk into a restaurant. The woman hopes they will order the best wine on the menu. Instead, her husband tells her he is having an affair with a woman called Maggie.When her chest starts to ache, the woman goes to a doctor who tells her the pain in her breast isn't just heartbreak - but - cancer. She decides to call the tumour Maggie and begins to strike up a conversation with it.In turns wildly funny and devastatingly tender, Maggie takes place during a pause -between divorce and marriage, sickness and health, the unknown and the status quo. In reaction to the unfolding chaos, the heartbroken woman creates 'A Guide to My Husband: A User's Manual' filled with a thousand facts for the real Maggie about the man they both love.
