Raven Black
Cleeves Ann
Dagger AwardsIt is a cold January morning and Shetland lies buried beneath a deep layer of snow. Trudging home, Fran Hunters eye is drawn to a vivid splash of colour on the white ground, ravens circling above. It is the strangled body of her teenage neighbour Catherine Ross. As Fran opens her mouth to scream, the ravens continue their deadly dance. The locals on the quiet island stubbornly focus their gaze on one manloner and simpleton Magnus Tait. But when police insist on opening the investigation a veil of suspicion and fear is thrown over the entire community. For the first time in years, Catherines neighbours nervously lock their doors, whilst a killer lives on in their midst. Raven Black is a haunting, beautifully crafted crime story, and establishes Ann Cleeves as a rising talent in psychological crime writing.

Rechercheur Versteegh en de dertien katten
Baantjer Albert Cornelis
Rechercheur Albert Versteegh ontvangt een briefje met het verzoek een bezoek te brengen aan een oude man die zijn einde voelt naderen. Versteegh vindt de briefschrijver in een verwaarloosd kamertje, te midden van dertien katten. Volgens de oude man belichamen twee katten zijn vrouw en zijn geestelijk gestoorde zoon. Maar bij de burgerlijke stand is niets bekend van hun overlijden. Er moet sprake zijn geweest van moord. Het spoor van de moord loopt langs heel duistere wissels. Voor Baantjer is dit boek, dat eerder verscheen onder de titel De dertien katten, een van zijn geliefdste romans gebleven.

Rest In Pieces (Mrs. Murphy[2])
Браун Рита Мэй
Mrs. Murphy thinks the new man in town is the cat's meow.... Maybe she should think again. Small towns don't take kindly to strangers--unless the stranger happens to be a drop-dead gorgeous and seemingly unattached male. When Blair Bainbridge comes to Crozet, Virginia, the local matchmakers lose no time in declaring him perfect for their newly divorced postmistress, Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen. Even Harry's tiger cat, Mrs. Murphy, and her Welsh Corgi, Tee Tucker, believe he smells A- okay. Could his one little imperfection be that he's a killer? Blair becomes the most likely suspect when the pieces of a dismembered corpse begin turning up around Crozet. No one knows who the dead man is, but when a grisly clue makes a spectacular appearance in the middle of the fall festivities, more than an early winter snow begins chilling the blood of Crozet's very best people. That's when Mrs. Murphy, her friend Tucker, and her human companion Harry begin to sort through the clues . . . only to find themselves a whisker away from becoming the killer's next victims. |

Rivalen
Francis Dick
Es ist ein heißes Rennen, das George Juliard antritt, denn seine Rivalen haben Kaliber. Zunächst geht es um die Wahl ins Unterhaus, später um das Amt des Premierministers. Juliards Handicap: Er ist Witwer und hat keine lächelnde Frau zur Seite. Diese Lücke kann jedoch sein 17jähriger Sohn füllen. Den kennt er zwar kaum, da er ihn nicht selbst aufgezogen hat, doch nun soll Benjamin seine erfolglose Amateurjockeykarriere abbrechen, um ihn auf seiner Tour durch den Wahlkreis zu begleiten. Ben ist nicht begeistert von dieser Aufgabe, fügt sich aber dem Willen des Vaters.Was sich wie ein Kinderspiel anläßt, entpuppt sich innerhalb weniger Tage als gefährliches Unternehmen, denn der Stimmenfang wird nicht nur mit legalen Mitteln geführt. Lückenbüßer und Vorzeigesöhnchen Ben muß schon bald eine neue Rolle übernehmen: die des Leibwächters.Der Wahlzirkus - ein wohlbekanntes Schauspiel, von Wahlhelfern und Medien inszeniert. Doch Dick Francis führt uns hinter die Kulissen, dahin, wo der Rummel in seiner Unmenschlichkeit und die Akteure in ihrer Menschlichkeit zu sehen sind - wo sich inmitten des dröhnenden Spektakels mit seinen hinterhältigen Intrigen leise eine Beziehung zwischen Vater und Sohn entwickelt.Neid und Zuneigung, Ehrgeiz und Loyalität, dies sind die Gefühle, die der Meister des Thrillers einmal mehr gegeneinander antreten läßt. Und am Ende haben die Helden ihre Auszeichnungen genauso verdient wie Dick Francis die seinen.
