Beschreibung

The setting: Hollywood. The year: 1943.
 
When death strikes at the austere, castle-like home of Earl Falkoner, an erratic designer of Hollywood sets and a would-be playwright, his hired writers and hired help—not to mention his dogs, his massive bodyguards, and his lady friends—become enmeshed in a chesslike game. Who is the killer? Luckily Lieutenant Tuck, with the able assistance of policewoman Brigit, is on the case to sort out clues.

The Dog Cops - Book 1

Brian Barnard

Ben Gibson is living the dream. Married to his high school sweetheart and with two beautiful young children, he’s also achieved his ultimate goal of becoming a member of the elite Victoria Police Dog Squad. For Ben life just couldn’t be better!
But disaster strikes when his canine partner, Duke, is killed in the line of duty. Then, as he slowly recovers from the loss of Duke, disaster strikes again when his wife and daughter are tragically killed in a car accident. As Ben struggles to overcome his own feelings of devastation, he is also faced with the reality of being a sole parent to his eight-year-old son Cooper.
He feels he has no choice but to quit the job he loves in order to care for his son, until his boss steps in and presents him with the opportunity to make a fresh start. Still wracked with grief he accepts the challenge to become the first police dog handler to relocate to country Victoria.
He reluctantly leaves his son in the care of his father and mother-in-law while he completes a six-month trial period in the Central Victoria town of Clarkdale. Overcoming the initial doubters amongst the locals that a city-boy can cope in the country, Ben and his police dog Sabre set about showing their worth.
From detecting drug stashes concealed in cars to tracking down violent criminals and apprehending armed and dangerous offenders, Ben and Sabre quickly become an invaluable asset to the local police members and prove that, even with the many technological advances in crime detection, nothing matches the skill and tenacity of a well-trained police dog team.

Best of Sherlock Holmes The -...

Anonym

Presented here are the final three books of the Sherlock Holmes canon: the novel "The Valley of Fear" and two short story collections: "The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes" and "His Last Bow," all penned by Holmes' legendary creator, the great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. 
Despite Doyle's attempt to kill off his world-famous detective years earlier, Doyle here - decades later - finally brings Sherlock Holmes' adventures to a close. 
First, we present the stories collected in "Case-Book," including the thriller "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs" and the haunting "Adventure of the Sussex Vampire." Next, the flashback novel "The Valley of Fear," in which Holmes grapples with his arch-nemesis - the Napoleon of Crime himself - Professor Moriarty. Then, at last, Holmes' swan song in which he comes out of retirement during World War I to assist his country one final time to help in the war effort and keep the German army at bay. 
With these volumes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle finally brings the adventures of the greatest detective in fiction - Mr. Sherlock Holmes - to an end. These three books are presented here in their original and unabridged format.

The Secret Agent

Joseph Conrad

The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad is a complex narrative set in London in 1886, centering on Adolf Verloc, a secret agent working for an unnamed foreign embassy, likely representing Russia. Verloc leads a double life as a shopkeeper selling dubious items like pornography and contraceptives while also being embedded within a group of anarchists known as The Future of the Proletariat.The story begins with Verloc's mundane family life, where he lives with his wife Winnie, her mother, and her brother Stevie, who has a mental disability. Winnie is deeply protective of Stevie, often treating him more like a son than a sibling. 
Verloc's relationships with his anarchist friends—Comrade Ossipon, Michaelis, and The Professor—are marked by their ineffectiveness and ideological fervor, despite their inability to execute successful terrorist acts.Verloc's complacency draws the ire of Mr. Vladimir, the embassy's First Secretary, who demands that Verloc instigate a significant act of terrorism to provoke public outrage against anarchists.
