Das gefrorene Licht (Thora Gudmundsdottir[2])
Sigurðardóttir Yrsa
fb2
Sommer 2006, im Westen von Island. Auf der Halbinsel Snæfellsnes wird die Architektin eines Wellness-Hotels tot am Strand aufgefunden. Sie wurde vergewaltigt und brutal erschlagen, in ihren Fußsohlen stecken Nadeln. Rechtsanwältin Dóra Guðmundsdóttir findet heraus, dass die Ermordete sich sehr für die Geschichte der verlassenen Gegend interessiert hat. Vor vielen Jahrzehnten standen auf dem Hotelgrundstück die Höfe zweier Brüder. Offenbar ist sie auf ein unaussprechliches Familiengeheimnis gestoßen …»Hier in Island glauben die Leute viel mehr an das Übernatürliche als in anderen westlichen Ländern. Ich arbeite zum Beispiel mit einem Ingenieur zusammen, der kürzlich einen Geisterbeschwörer zu sich nach Hause bestellt hat, um einen dänischen Geist aus einer alten Kommode zu vertreiben. Ich kenne viele Leute, die im Traum etwas vorhergesehen haben, die regelmäßig zu Wahrsagerinnen gehen, etwas Übersinnliches erlebt haben oder an Geister, Elfen und so weiter glauben. Außerdem haben wir eine lange Erzähltradition — in unseren Volksmärchen gibt es viele wirklich gute Geistergeschichten. Aber im modernen Kriminalroman muss die Auflösung natürlich immer eine ganz irdische sein …«Yrsa Sigurðardóttir

Gardner Erle Stanley

Erle Stanley Gardner — creator of Perry Mason — was the bestselling author of detective fiction of all time. Many of his best early short novels originally appeared in the famous Black Mask magazine alongside Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler.Gardner’s most enduring hero was Ed Jenkins, also known as “the Phantom Crook.” So enduring was he that when the author considered discontinuing the exploits of this intrepid man, his fans overwhelmingly succeeded in ensuring his longevity.Working beyond the law, pursued by police and criminals, Jenkins’ undesired notoriety made him a prize target for blackmail, coercion and imprisonment. But those who tried to force his hand never knew the man he could be when his back was to the wall, fighting.This first ever collection of Ed Jenkins short novels represents the most thrilling adventures of Erle Stanley Gardner’s contribution to the hard-boiled detective genre.

Макдональд Джон Данн

The Howler was a nice boss, but he earned his nickname. He’d stand in the middle of his big restaurant kitchen, flapping his arms and screaming, while the help waited for him to burst. Noisy? You’d be noisy, too, if you knew what he knew! You’d scream bloody murder!

The discovery of the partially-clothed body of a teenage girl in the heart of Bristol’s red light district indicates a tragic yet familiar scenario. But this marks the start of a baffling murder investigation where nothing is as it first appears. Fourteen-year-old Melanie Cooke told her mother she was visiting a school friend. Who was she really going to meet?

Detective Inspector David Vogel is led towards three very different principal protagonists, each of whom grows increasingly chilling. But are they what they seem? And is any one of them capable of murder?

A darkly complex secret lies behind Melanie’s death — and its ultimate revelation will shock Vogel and his team to the core.

Tony Valentine is an expert at spotting cheats. He’s tossed them out of gambling casinos from Atlantic City to Las Vegas and Monaco. But though Tony has never met a scam he couldn’t crack, his son and partner, Gerry, has just walked into one with a body count. What started with a conman’s deathbed confession turns into a deadly Las Vegas grudge match during the world’s biggest poker tournament. While Gerry and his shady friends tangle with the Vegas mob, Tony enlists the aid of an aging grifter who’s fleecing suckers with a dazzling array of improbable betting stunts. Tony’s been hired to save the tournament (and stop a blind player who’s out to heist it), while Gerry’s just trying to stay alive-now that murder is in the cards.

COPS AND CORPSES

That was the name of the game, and Mike Shayne was playing every lead as if his life depended on it — because it did.

The Miami cops were putting on heat strong enough to burn his license. The corpses kept turning up, one, two, three. To top it off, his secretary was being framed for murder by an unknown killer who was determined to put her and Mike out of the picture, one way or another.
