Die Beute
En allemand – Dies ist die Geschichte des weißen Mannes Mahoney, der im schwärzesten Erdteil zur Welt kam. Vitalität zeichnet ihn aus: Unruhe und Leidenschaft. Seine Beute findet er nicht nur als Jäger in Steppe und Urwald, sondern auch auf der Jagd nach Liebe. Vor Mahoneys Leidenschaft flieht die schöne Suzie de Villiers, um immer wieder seine glückliche Beute zu werden. Ein Roman von wildem Verlangen, von Verweigerung und Hingabe vor dem grandiosen Hintergrund Afrikas. Während die Medizinmänner um Regen bitten, erhitzt die Glut der ewigen Sonne die Sinne von Mensch und Tier: Es ist heiß im Tal des Sambesi. Elefantenbullen bespringen ihre Kühe, Löwen knurren an der Seite ihrer schlanken Löwinnen.
The black country
En Anglais – When members of a prominent family disappear from a coal-mining village—and a human eyeball is discovered in a bird’s nest—the local constable sends for help from Scotland Yard’s new Murder Squad. Fresh off the grisly 1889 murders of The Yard, Inspector Walter Day and Sergeant Nevil Hammersmith respond, but they have no idea what they’re about to get into. The villagers have intense, intertwined histories. Everybody bears a secret. Superstitions abound. And the village itself is slowly sinking into the mines beneath it. Not even the arrival of forensics pioneer Dr. Bernard Kingsley seems to help. In fact, the more the three of them investigate, the more they realize they may never be allowed to leave . . . .
Il poeta
En italien – Jack McEvoy fa il reporter di nera. La morte è il suo mestiere. Ma questa volta la morte gli porta una storia che non avrebbe mai voluto scrivere e un mistero che vuole risolvere a tutti i costi. Là fuori, in agguato, c'è un serial killer astuto e feroce, un perverso assassino, un meticoloso discepolo del male. Le sue vittime sono tutte poliziotti, agenti della omicidi. E il suo biglietto da visita è un verso di Edgar Allan Poe. La sua vittima è stata il fratello di McEvoy e la sua prossima… potrebbe essere lui stesso.
