Time Noir

Just when Neil's life seems bleakest, his oldest friend, racehorse breeder Jason Keys, is murdered. And Neil becomes the prime suspect. To avenge his friend, clear his name, and rescue a missing championship thoroughbred, Neil infiltrates the dark underworld of horse theft and illegal breeding. Neil's friends - his attractive writing teacher, his cooking colleagues, and a freckle-faced teenage horsewoman - offer their support. But their cheers quickly turn to gasps when Neil becomes the hunted.

Interno notte. Le luci accese, la cena pronta, una tazza di latte rovesciata, forse nel corso di una colluttazione. Questa la scena che si presenta agli occhi di Emily Kane quando entra nell'appartamento di sua sorella Carrie. Della donna, invece, non c'è traccia. E insieme a lei sono scomparsi anche il marito e le due figlie. Un'intera famiglia cancellata, come non fosse mai esistita. I mesi successivi a quella maledetta notte vedono le indagini arrivare a un binario morto.

Londra, 16 dicembre. In una mattina apparentemente simile alle altre, Sam Wren sale sulla metropolitana, ma non fa più ritorno a casa. Nessuno lo ha visto e non è rimasta alcuna traccia del suo passaggio, nemmeno nei filmati delle telecamere di sicurezza. Dopo sei mesi di angoscia, la moglie Julia decide di rivolgersi a David Raker, che già in passato ha fatto luce su altri casi di scomparse misteriose.

These six sweet but raunchy sexual romps are just what you need before bed, or any other time of day for that matter. They tell the stories of women finding passion and excitement in the embrace of other men. They seek it because their marriages have become dull, because they need an encounter with an aggressive alpha male, because they want to get pregnant, because they need to feel what it’s like to have multiple strange men use them at the same time, and because their husbands know that a wife’s pleasure has to come first.

Guilty. One word on a beggar’s cardboard sign. Now, he is dead; stabbed in a wintry Copenhagen street, the second homeless victim in as many weeks. Dagbladet reporter Jensen, stumbling across the body on her way to work, calls her ex lover DI Henrik Jungersen. As, inevitably, old passions are rekindled, so are old regrets, and that is just the start of Jensen’s troubles. When a third body turns up, it seems certain that a serial killer is on the loose. With her teenage apprentice, Gustav, Jensen soon finds herself putting everything on the line to discover exactly who is guilty.

Grotesk, dunkel und bizarr. Definitiv ein Leckerbissen für Noir-Fans. Stanton Carlisle lernt die schmutzigen Tricks der Jahrmärkte und wird zum skrupellosen Gauner. Er gibt sich als spiritueller Guru aus, um die Reichen und Schwachen auszunehmen. Doch sein Spiel der Täuschungen und Lügen treibt ihn geradewegs in die Albtraumgasse... Mit effektiver Atmosphäre und außergewöhnlicher Prosa geschrieben, ist "Nightmare Alley" mehr als ein großes Drama: Stantons entschlossener Aufstieg und der unvermeidliche Sturz ins Verderben ist die röntgenscharfe Durchleuchtung des "american dream".

When ninety-year-old Irene Valborg is found brutally murdered in an affluent suburb of Copenhagen, her diamond necklace missing, it looks like a burglary gone wrong. When two more victims are attacked, the police lament a rise in violence against the elderly, but who is the young girl in the photo found by DI Henrik Jungersen on the scenes of crime? Impatient to claim her inheritance, Irene's daughter hires former Dagbladet reporter Jensen and her teenage apprentice Gustav to find the necklace.

San Francisco 1947: Es kommt nicht jeden Tag vor, dass eine rätselhafte, anmutige Blondine namens Stilton (ja, wie der Käse) in den verlotterten Laden kommt, in dem Sammy "Two Toes" Tiffin Gin ausschenkt. Es ist Liebe auf den ersten Blick. Aber bevor Sammy den ersten Schritt machen kann, betritt ein Air Force General mit einem eiligen Auftrag für ihn den Saloon. Doch Sammy hat eigentlich besseres zu tun: Er arbeitet an einer eigenen Geschäftsidee. Als aber an der Pazifikküste ein unbekanntes Flugobjekt gesichtet wird und Stilton plötzlich spurlos verschwindet, muss er sich seinen dunkelsten Geheimnissen stellen, um seinen Käse zu retten.
