Sinossi

We’ve assembled an amazing selection of stories for readers who love variety. First up, five mystery stories: an original set in the glamorous world of film by Elizabeth Elwood (thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken), a gripping pulp thriller by Richard Deming, a moonshine-drenched tale from David Heska Wanbli Weiden (thanks to Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman), and a dark crime story by Donald A. Ranard. And, of course, no issue would be complete without a new solve-it-yourself puzzler by Hal Charles.
 
We also have a heavier than usual focus on fantasy, with dark tales by Gary Battershell and John S. Glasby, a comedy-adventure in Monty Python style from Henry Herz, and a legendary fantasy novel by E.R. Eddison. We haven’t completely forgotten science fiction lovers, though. Here’s the next adventure of E.C. Tubb’s “Space Hobo”—this time on Venus.

    Minnie Harper isn't used to putting herself first. Not after she moved away from England only to be left raising two children alone on the Greek Island of Corfu following her husband's unexpected death. But with her daughter begging to be sent to school abroad and her son grasping at his own independence, Minnie realizes she must prepare for the next stage of her life. 
     
     
     
    When famous mystery author Stephen Dorian settles into a neighboring villa to escape writer's block and hidden scandals, she is intrigued at first by the handsome Londoner—until he proves to be nothing more than a boorish grump. Determined to avoid the man as much as possible, Minnie is shocked when he offers her a well-paid job as his typist. 
     
     
     
    But before Minnie can fully regret her decision to take the job, she makes a horrifying discovery that changes everything. A young maid has been murdered, and local authorities aren't moving fast enough to bring justice to the terrible crime. Unwilling to allow the death to fade into obscurity like so many other women, Minnie launches an investigation of her own—and reluctantly accepts Stephen's help. As she embarks on a dangerous search for answers that reveals another side of Corfu, unsettling questions take shape about her employer-turned-confidant and the culprit who just might do whatever it takes to strike again . . .

    Diese Aufnahme wurde von Kate Bold, unter Lizenz mit Hilfe einer synthetisierten Stimme eines Audiobucherzählers digital produziert. Als ein Zeuge im Zeugenschutzprogramm ermordet wird, vermutet U.S. Marshal Alexa Chase zunächst einen Zusammenhang mit dem laufenden Fall. Doch je tiefer sie in die Ermittlungen eintaucht und je verzwickter das Rätsel wird, desto klarer wird ihr, dass möglicherweise ein Serienmörder am Werk ist. Wie sieht sein Muster aus? Kann sie die Puzzleteile rechtzeitig zusammensetzen?
    
    "Ein Pageturner par excellence  ... Fangen Sie besser nicht an zu lesen, wenn Sie am nächsten Morgen früh raus müssen!”
    – Leserrezension zu “The Killing Game”
    
    EIN MÖRDERISCHER ORT (Ein Alexa Chase-Thriller – Buch 6) ist der sechste Band einer neuen Reihe der Krimi- und Thrillerautorin Kate Bold, die mit “THE KILLING GAME” (Buch 1) ihren Anfang nahm.
    
    Alexa Chase, 34, eine brillante Profilerin in der Abteilung für Verhaltensanalyse des FBI, war zu gut in ihrem Job. Verfolgt von all den Serienmördern, die sie zur Strecke gebracht hatte, gab sie eine vielversprechende Karriere auf, um sich den U.S. Marshals anzuschließen. Als Deputy Marshal konnte Alexa – durchtrainiert, zäh und ebenso scharfsinnig – in einen vermeintlich einfacheren Beruf eintauchen, bei dem sie Flüchtige jagte und der Justiz zuführte.
    
    Doch nach ihrem jüngsten Erfolg haben FBI und Marshals beschlossen, ihre gemeinsame Task Force dauerhaft einzurichten. Alexa, die unter ihrer eigenen traumatischen Vergangenheit und ihrer PTBS von der Jagd auf Serienmörder leidet, hat keine Wahl: Sie muss nun mit einem FBI-Partner zusammenarbeiten, den sie nicht ausstehen kann, und Serienmörder jagen, deren Fälle sich mit dem Zuständigkeitsbereich der U.S. Marshals überschneiden. Alexa sieht sich gezwungen, sich dem zu stellen, was sie am meisten fürchtet – in die Gedankenwelt eines Mörders einzutauchen.
    
    Je tiefer Alexa in die Ermittlungen eintaucht, desto klarer wird ihr, dass es überall Verdächtige gibt – und die Zeit läuft. Aber wem kann sie wirklich trauen?
    
    Alles, was Alexa tun kann, ist, sich auf ihre brillanten Fähigkeiten zu verlassen, um in die verdrehte Gedankenwelt des Mörders einzudringen, bevor er erneut zuschlägt.
    
    Die ALEXA CHASE-Reihe ist ein fesselnder Krimi mit einer brillanten und gequälten Deputy Marshal, der mit atemberaubendem Tempo ein spannendes Rätsel voller Action, Spannung, Wendungen, Enthüllungen und Überraschungen bietet – Sie werden die ganze Nacht durchlesen wollen.
    
    Weitere Bücher der Reihe erscheinen in Kürze.

    Twenty years ago, several people were murdered in Des Moines, and the only evidence left behind was a snowman ornament hanging ominously on a tree in the victims' front lawns. With a suspect behind bars, the killings have come to an end--or so everyone thought. But now crimes with a similar MO are happening in a small Iowa town, and a local detective believes the killer is back and ready to strike again. 
     
    With little time left on the clock before they have another murder on their hands, private investigators River Ryland and Tony St. Clair must work alongside Tony's detective father to find evidence that will uncover an evil that has survived far too long. As the danger mounts and the suspect closes in, it will take all they have to catch a killer--before he catches one of them.
