Beschreibung

A young man with an Oedipus complex in 1930s Dresden, Hermann Becht loses himself in the social and political motives of his time.
 
His father is in the SS, his mother is Belarusian, and his girlfriend is Jewish. After a brutal clash with his father, Hermann and his mother flee to Paris. Swept along by a maelstrom of events, Hermann ends up as a spy for the British in the Polish extermination camp Treblinka.
 
The trauma of what he sees in this realm of death intensifies his pessimistic outlook on humanity. In Switzerland, the famous psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung tries to free Hermann of his frightening schizophrenia, but fails to unravel the power of the young man’s emotions, especially his intense hate for his father.
 
What follows is a tragic chain of events, leading to Hermann’s ultimate revenge on his father: the apocalyptic bombing of Dresden.
 
THE LONG FAREWELL is an unforgettable exploration of fascism’s lure and the roots of the Holocaust. More than ever, the novel is a mirror for our modern times.

    A short satirical thriller from bestselling author Freida McFadden.  
    My husband is dead.  
    I attended his funeral. I watched his casket be lowered six feet into the ground. (Actually, it may have been only five feet, but that still seems like more than enough.) And then we ate an array of finger sandwiches and deviled eggs and miniature beef wellingtons that cost more than my first car.  
    My point is, Grant is gone. And so are all his many, many deep, dark secrets which I never really ever bothered to ask him about. He is never coming back.  
    So why do I still see his face everywhere I go?  
    The Widow's Husband's Secret Lie is an utterly addictive, unputdownable, nail-biting, absolutely gripping psychological thriller novella with a shocking, breathtaking, heartstopping, spine-chilling twist that you won't see coming, will leave you stunned, and will literally have you picking your jaw up off the floor and bringing it to the nearest hospital for major facial reconstructive surgery.

    In a shadow-drenched Los Angeles, 1968, Jack is a man caught between a deadly task and a ticking clock. As episode 22 of the gripping Solitaire Series unfolds, under the watchful eyes of unseen adversaries, Jack finds himself navigating the treacherous underbelly of the city under the pseudonym "Seven of Spades." 
    With sunset casting long shadows over the deserted Alpha Beta parking lot, Jack unearths unsettling secrets hidden within a seemingly ordinary van—an enigmatic signet ring and two decks filled only with Aces of Spades. As Jack strives to piece together the mystery under the threatening growl of his empty stomach, his reliance on experience and muscle memory is tested against the silent whispers of danger lurking at every corner. 
    Encountering a bizarre mix of fake lawmen and shadowy figures, Jack must discern ally from enemy as deception layers upon deception. A hidden bullet and a disturbing realization that his backup might not be what it seems force Jack to question the very ground he stands on. 
    Facing echoes of laughter that conceal deadly intentions and piercing eyes that hold secrets, Jack knows one misstep could silence him forever. As he immerses himself in an early morning dash for truth and survival, breakfast plans at Nick’s Cafe morph into a nerve-straining game of cat and mouse that could lead Jack deeper into the heart of darkness. 
    Prepare for a heady plunge into the noir world of trust and betrayal, where one man's quest for clarity becomes a twisted dance with fate, in *Seven of Spades - Part 2*, where nothing is as it seems and every shadow hides a story just waiting to be unmasked.

    In this new installment of Ken Bruen's beloved Jack Taylor series, the whiskey-swigging Irish detective investigates a series of violent attacks on the local convent's nuns. 
     
     
     
    Jack Taylor wakes up from a coma to discover that much of the world has changed since he last walked the streets of Galway. The pandemic had hit while he was under, devastating the lives of many in his beloved city and beyond. Now, as Jack tries to recover from the attack that put him in the hospital and absorb the incredible changes in the world around him, a woman approaches him with a distressing case: two local nuns have been bludgeoned by a mysterious man wielding a hammer, and more are sure to follow. As the police fail to act while the violence against the Sisters escalates, Jack seems like their only hope. 
     
     
     
    Initially wary of becoming involved in the investigation, Jack finds he cannot stay away from the mystery surrounding these vicious attacks. He also cannot shake a feeling of darkness that has haunted him since he awoke from his coma—a darkness that is far too close for comfort. Luckily an old friend is there to help see him through and there is always Jack's dark wit and a drink to help shore up his mood.
