Die Spuren René Benkos sind unübersehbar: Paläste wie das KaDeWe in Berlin oder das Goldene Quartier in Wien, Bauruinen wie der Elbtower in Hamburg oder die Alte Akademie in München, geschlossene Filialen der Warenhauskette Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof. Keiner stieg so schnell auf wie der österreichische Unternehmer, und selbst sein Untergang wurde zum Superlativ: Die Pleite seiner Signa-Unternehmensgruppe ist die größte, die Österreich je erlebte. Margret Hucko und Martin Noé kennen René Benko von vielen Treffen. Sie schilderten seinen Expansionsdrang, sie beschrieben früh die Risiken und sie waren die ersten Journalist*innen im Oktober 2023, die die Pleite voraussagten. In diesem Buch entschlüsseln die Autor*innen Benkos Methoden sowie die Gründe für den Zusammenbruch der Signa, und zwar so treffsicher und kenntnisreich, dass die beiden als Expert*innen in die Produktion des Dokudramas Benko - Size does matter eingebunden wurden. Die nun aktualisierte, erweiterte und als Taschenbuch erhältliche Neuausgabe bietet zusätzliche Hintergrundinformationen und Einblicke in die Geschichte des ungemein erfolgreichen Blenders. Wer sie gelesen hat, versteht, warum sich Personen aus Wirtschaft, Politik und von Pensionskassen so gerne von ihm überzeugen ließen, wer von ihm profitierte und was nun auf Benko zukommt.

Größenwahn auf Kredit: Der Aufstieg und Absturz des René Benko

Benkos Luftschloss

From James B. Stewart, the New York Times bestselling co-author of Unscripted and winner of the Pulitzer Prize, a deeply reported investigation into Harvard University, what happened when the Trump administration declared war on it, and the epic battle between the old guard and new money for control over a fabled institution Harvard University, a symbol of excellence and prestige for nearly 400 years, has been under attack. The assault, by no means limited to the right-wing attacks on DEI, or the lawsuits brought by the Trump administration over billions of dollars in Federal funding, has exposed deep fault lines within academia and American society at large. The Harvard presidency is arguably the most powerful and influential position in academia, not least because it comes with huge sway over the university’s vast $68 billion endowment. Beginning with the controversial tenure of Lawrence Summers as president of Harvard, James Stewart goes behind the scenes with power brokers and students alike to reveal how Summers’s abrupt departure set the stage for a progressive backlash when Drew Faust was hired as his replacement, and for the choice of Claudine Gay as the university’s first Black president. After Hamas attacked Israel, Republican Congresswoman and Harvard graduate Elise Stefanik led a Congressional inquiry into antisemitism on campus. As the controversy intensified, Gay was accused of plagiarism and forced to resign. But these events were only the preamble to the multiple lawsuits the second Trump administration would file against Harvard in the years to come, forcing Harvard into the impossible position of trying to defend academic freedom at the risk of losing crucial funding. A propulsive, character-driven narrative, replete with bold-faced names, combining deep investigative reporting and breaking news, this will be the definitive account of an institution on the brink. Using Harvard as the prism, Stewart confronts some of the most entrenched and sensitive fault lines of our polarized age, as the countervailing forces of meritocracy, elitism, identity politics, and tradition bear down on higher education from all sides. At stake is not only the future of Harvard, America’s preeminent university, but the very idea of education itself, and the unending struggle for the soul of the nation.

Ivory Tower

13 Days of Silence is the true story of the thirteen days between a mother's last contact with her son and the moment she learned he was the body found in a burned vehicle.What begins with a calm phone call from law enforcement quickly becomes something far more unsettling. Investigators say they are looking for her son about a car and reassure her that he is not in trouble. As the days pass, the questions begin to change. Messages go unanswered. Information comes slowly, in fragments. Then comes a request no parent ever expects. Dental records.For thirteen days, hope and dread live side by side.Told by a mother who spent decades working inside crisis as a paramedic, firefighter, and corrections officer, 13 Days of Silence offers a rare perspective from someone who understood emergencies and investigations long before she was forced to experience them from the other side.What follows is not only grief but a difficult journey through the realities of the criminal justice system. In the courtroom, testimony conflicts, timelines blur, and the narrative presented does not always match what was expected. The legal process moves forward, but many questions remain unanswered, including the most painful one of all. Why.Written with restraint and grounded in lived experience, 13 Days of Silence is not a sensational true crime story. It is a mother's account of waiting, of loss, and of what it feels like when the search for justice does not always bring clarity.The thirteen days ended. The silence did not.

Getting Away

Gone Rogue is a riveting narrative that unravels a web of financial fraud, political manipulation, and personal sacrifice. Written by Michael Arnold, this compelling nonfiction work blends real-life events with dramatic storytelling to explore the high stakes of integrity, accountability, and the price of exposing corruption.

The story follows Marcus, a former compliance professional in the global financial sector, who seeks a quieter life in a picturesque coastal town. However, his peaceful new beginning is soon disrupted when he uncovers a complex scheme of investor fraud tied to municipal bonds. As he delves deeper into the city's financial dealings, Marcus finds himself facing an entrenched system of corruption that threatens to unravel everything he holds dear.

From the moment Marcus begins questioning the legitimacy of the city's financial transactions, he is drawn into a world of deceit and danger. As a whistleblower, Marcus takes on powerful individuals with deep political ties, navigating a series of moral and professional dilemmas that force him to confront the limits of his own integrity.

Gone Rogue is more than a story of financial fraud it's a tale of a man forced to choose between personal safety and moral duty, between silence and speaking out. As Marcus exposes the depth of corruption, he must contend with retaliation, threats, and the personal toll of standing up for what's right. With every discovery, the stakes grow higher, and Marcus realizes that the forces he's up against are far more powerful and far-reaching than he ever imagined.

A must-read for anyone interested in financial crime, whistle blowing, and the inner workings of political and corporate corruption, Gone Rogue is a masterclass in the delicate balance between personal integrity and the dangerous pursuit of truth. This book is essential for readers who appreciate real-world thrillers, true crime, and the relentless pursuit of justice in a world that often bends to the will of the powerful.

In 1873, four young Americans nearly walked off with the Bank of England's fortune. This is the confidence man's own story.No tunnel. No pistol. Just good tailoring, a false name, and a devastating understanding of how Victorian banking ran on trust.

The Man Who Robbed the Bank of England

"Lázár is an exquisite and masterly pronouncement that a gifted young writer walks among us" Patti Smith "A truly great writer steps onto the stage" Daniel Kehlmann"Propulsive, twisting and spell-binding. Lázár is a bold, intricate accomplishment" Lucy SteedsThe snow of the dying century still lay on the edge of the dark forest when Lajos von Lázár, the translucent child with water-blue eyes, first glimpsed the man he would believe to be his father for his whole life and beyond. The Lázárs have ruled their Hungarian lands for generations. In their ancient castle by the edge of a forest that compels all who enter it to madness, they succumb to every vice and live only to satiate their desires. But the old order is crumbling, and the days of the Habsburg Monarchy are numbered. When Lajos von Lázár inherits, they at last have a baron who can reignite the old splendours, but not even his abilities are proof against the ravages of war and occupation. It will fall to his children - a boy who talks to shadows and a girl who eschews her blue blood - to find a way to stand against oppression and take the first faltering steps towards freedom.A sweeping epic, taking the reader from the beginning of the twentieth century to the Hungarian National Uprising of 1956, Lázár would be a phenomenal achievement for a writer of any age. With its air of timeless wisdom, it reads like rediscovered classic, making it all the more remarkable that it was written when the author was just twenty-one years old.Translated from the German by Jamie Bulloch

'Chris Kraus reinvents the true-crime novel' The New Yorker
'A writer whose antennae are attuned to subtle connections and strange cross-currents' Colm Tóibín
'This is Chris Kraus's masterpiece' Constance Debré
On the Iron Range of northern Minnesota, at the end of the last decade, three teenagers shot and killed an older acquaintance after spending the day with him. In a cold, rundown town, the three young people were quickly arrested and imprisoned. No one knows why they did it.
At the time of the murder, Catt Greene and her husband, Paul Garcia, are living nearby in a house they'd bought years earlier as a summer escape from Los Angeles. Undergoing a period of personal turmoil, moving between LA and Minnesota - between the urban art world and the rural poverty of the icy Iron Range - Catt turns away from her own life and towards the murder case, which soon becomes an obsession. In her attempt to pierce through the mystery surrounding the murder and to understand the teenagers' lives, Catt also finds herself travelling back through the idiosyncratic, aspirational lives of her parents in the working-class Bronx and small-town, blue-collar Milford, Connecticut. 
Written in three linked parts, The Four Spent the Day Together explores the histories of three generations of American lives and the patterns that repeat over lifetimes, and is piercing commentary on the pressures of lives lived on the edge.
