Chillen, grillen, Bierchen killen! Kripobeamter Hubsi freut sich auf Campingurlaub mit seiner Familie - bis eine Leiche im See die Idylle zerstört. Der Tote? Ein Bauer. Der zuständige Ermittler? Überfordert. Hubsi und Kollegin Adele müssen übernehmen, während Ehefrau Melli und die Kinder auf eigene Faust ermitteln. Ein Hacker, aktivistische Kühe, eine blutige Axt und ein korrupter Bürgermeister sorgen für Chaos. Jeder hat ein Motiv - doch plötzlich gerät Hubsi selbst ins Visier ...

Kriminalroman

Schnitzel, Mord & Tunke - Kommissar Hubsis erster Fall

A fresh interpretation of the Enlightenment that reshapes our understanding of political economy and its intellectual foundations.The origins of political economy are often told as a story of increasing certainty, rationality, and scientific progress. But what if its earliest thinkers were instead preoccupied with uncertainty? In Doubtful Knowledge, Richard Adelman offers a striking new interpretation of eighteenth-century political economy by tracing its roots to the skeptical philosophy of the European Enlightenment.Moving between Scotland and France, Adelman reveals how figures including David Hume, Adam Smith, Denis Diderot, Jean Le Rond d'Alembert, François Quesnay, and the Physiocrats developed a shared understanding of the limits of human knowledge. Rather than presenting markets or societies as systems that could be fully understood or controlled, they emphasized the complexity of the social world, the fallibility of human judgment, and the need for intellectual humility. Through close readings of major philosophical and political-economic texts, Adelman demonstrates that skepticism was not peripheral to early political economy but fundamental to its emergence. Challenging long-held assumptions about the history of economics and Enlightenment thought, Doubtful Knowledge reframes debates about commerce, governance, progress, and human nature.By bringing together intellectual history, literary studies, philosophy, and the history of political economy, Adelman offers a compelling account of how eighteenth-century thinkers understood knowledge itself--and why their questions remain relevant to contemporary discussions about economics, politics, and the limits of expertise.

Write Your Own Fan Fiction

A spellbinding novel about sisters separated by centuries, but bound together by the sea, from the author of the runaway New York Times bestseller Weyward

The Sirens

This landmark collection provides new insights, concepts and techniques to understand and respond to tort claims based on illegal conduct. It is the first comparative study of this difficult field, which has remained contested despite numerous decisions of the highest courts in the common law world. The collection draws on scholars from common law and civilian jurisdictions spanning Argentina, Australia, Brazil, England and Wales, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Scotland, Singapore, Spain, South Africa and Sweden. Together they set out fact patterns, and justifications for tort liability to illustrate the coherence and unity that exists when courts address such claims. While common law legal systems have developed a specific defence of illegality for some of those fact patterns, civilian jurisdictions tend to see illegality operating, if at all, through the existing components of tort liability. The book explains how these different approaches have been reached, how they work, and what they reveal about reasoning in tort.

Comparative Lessons on Legal Reasoning

Understanding Tort Claims and Illegality

Exposes the anatomy of organizational harm and how to save institutions from toxic culture While we often read about corporate scandals, we are left wondering: why do organizations keep causing harm? Benjamin van Rooij and Nicholas Lord argue that to truly understand and address the impacts of dysfunctional organizations we must look beyond senior executives and leaders and understand the deeper problems in the organization itself. To do so, Toxic uses dozens of in-depth case studies to connect the dots between various scandals and illustrate the deeper toxic patterns within organizations that lead to them. Each chapter recounts compelling stories of individuals caught within these toxic systems and addresses urgent societal challenges such as environmental degradation, the opioid epidemic, the harms of social media, and police abuse. Stories include:<ul><li>Boeing focusing so much on its day-to-day share price that it lost sight of ensuring the long-term safety of its 737 MAX airplanes.</li><li>Volkswagen experimenting with monkeys locked in cages breathing exhaust fumes in a desperate attempt to deny the harm of its “clean diesel” engines.</li><li>How the Oakland Police Department taught its rookies to engage in racist and abusive policing practices, resisting decades-long attempts to reform the department.</li></ul>Revealing, accessible, and engaging, Toxic, breaks down the core characteristics of toxic organizations and shows readers how to recognize and address toxicity in their everyday lives.

How Organizations Go Bad

Toxic

Drei unterhaltsame Tierkrimis von Enid Kilbar in einem Band. Lady Jane und Sir Walter ermitteln.

Eine Leiche ohne Sarg

Im beschaulichen Dorf Marnhull im Süden Englands wird der betagte Mr Wornickle zu Grabe getragen. Doch in der frisch ausgehobenen Grube liegt bereits die notdürftig verscharrte Leiche einer ermordeten Frau. Keine Frage, dass Lady Jane, die neugierige Tigerkatze und ihr treuer Begleiter, der Mischlingshund Sir Walter, sich der Aufklärung dieses ominösen Mordfalles annehmen.


Tod im Arc Inn

Aus dem alten und ehedem baufälligen Herrenhaus, in dem die Tigerkatze Lady Jane und ihr Freund, der Mischlingshund Sir Walter leben, macht ihr Herrchen Onkel Tom kurzerhand ein Tierhotel. Die begeisterten Gäste sind Menschen, die sich selbst keine Haustiere halten können und sich während ihres Aufenthaltes um Findelkatzen und herrenlose Hunde kümmern dürfen. Doch unter den Gästen befindet sich ein Mörder. Natürlich sind Lady Jane und Sir Walter diesem bereits auf der Spur.


Eine Hochzeit und zwei Todesfälle

Das Herrchen von Lady Jane und Sir Walter hat mit knapp 60 Jahren die Frau seines Lebens gefunden und auch geheiratet. Doch die Hochzeit von Onkel Tom wird von einem grausigen Fund in einem Geheimgang des Familiensitzes überschattet. Und es bleibt auch nicht bei der einen Leiche. Die neugierige Tigerkatze und ihr treuer Begleiter, der Mischlingshund, legen sich mächtig ins Zeug, um die Morde aufzuklären.

Drei spannende Tierkrimis

Hund, Katze, Mord - Eine Leiche ohne Sarg

A small-town occult horror for fans of Mona Awad’s Bunny and Grady Hendrix’s The Final Girl Support Group, blending ritual magic, toxic friendship, and queer terror in the New England. Witchcraft was just a game. Until the bodies started piling up. Cinnamon Christine Carmichael doesn’t remember the killings. Not at first. But the blood on her hands, the whispers in her head, and the smile on her best friend Hedda’s face say enough. Something has been unleashed—and it’s using them to grow. Two teenagers are burned alive in a corn maze as the crowd watches, paralyzed, filming every second. It’s the latest in a string of ritualistic murders that defy explanation. Sheriff Henry McGinty has seen a lot in his time—but nothing like this. So he calls in Sister Eve. Eve sees what others can’t: echoes of the dead, glimpses of the future. But this time, the visions are fragmented. Wrong. As if something is blocking her sight. Something old. Something evil. Something wearing the face of her mother, reincarnated in the body of a teenage girl. As Halloween nears, Cinnamon’s coven races to complete a ritual that could bring the Devil himself to earth—and Eve, Henry, and irreverent deputy Fink may be the last line of defense between our world and utter damnation. Once the spell begins, it can't be undone. And Hell is already watching.

The Quiet Resurrection of Sister Evelida Livingston

Andersheit - Fremdheit - Ungleichheit

Setzt man sich mit Kriminalliteratur auseinander, befasst man sich meistens mit Kriminalfiktion(en), mit literarischen Verbrechen, die zwar Bezüge zur ¿wirklichen Wirklichkeit¿ und somit auch zur wahren Kriminalität aufweisen können, die aber letztendlich stets als etwas Fiktives bzw. Fiktionales empfunden werden. Dabei machte die Kriminalliteratur immer wieder Anleihen beim realen Verbrechen, indem sie entweder vor dem Hintergrund realer Tatverläufe Geschichten erzählte oder dieselben realen Tatverläufe reportagemäßig dokumentierte. Ein ähnlich differentes Verhältnis lässt sich auch in anderen medialen Feldern finden, die u.a. das Verbrechen, die Ermittlung und die Bestrafung zum Thema haben, wie in Film oder Fernsehen. Die Beiträge in diesem Sammelband widmen sich dem Problem von (medial, literarisch) erzählter und (politisch, gesellschaftlich) erlebter Kriminalität, um auf diesem Wege auch der Frage nach (nicht?) bestehenden Synergien zwischen ihnen nachzugehen.

When engaging with crime literature, one is usually dealing with crime fiction(s), with literary crimes that, although they may have connections to 'actual reality' and thus to real criminality, are ultimately always perceived as something fictional. In this context crime literature has repeatedly drawn on real crimes, either telling stories against the backdrop of real criminal events, or documenting the same real events in a journalistic manner. A similar yet distinct relationship between criminal reality and criminal fictionality can also be found in other media fields that focus on crime, investigation, and punishment, such as film or television. The contributions in this anthology address the problem of crime narrated (in film, media, or literature) and crime experienced (in political and societal contexts), in order to explore the question of whether or not there are synergies between them.

Kriminalität in Literatur, Fernsehen und Wirklichkeit

Ästhetiken des Grauens

In einer streng kontrollierten Gesellschaft bestimmt das Nordland über Beruf, Wohnort und Heirat der Bevölkerung des Südens.

Während das Turnier beginnt und die Aufmerksamkeit der Großmächte auf einem einzigen Ergebnis ruht, muss sie entscheiden, wie weit sie für Freiheit und Gerechtigkeit gehen will.
