Coopers Leidenschaft: Scanguards Hybriden - Band 5 (Scanguards Vampire)
by Tina FolsomDie eigensinnige Anita Diaz, Sheriff's Deputy in einer Kleinstadt in Nevada, folgt der Spur eines Serienmörders, der den amerikanischen Westen unsicher macht, und landet in San Francisco, wo der Scanguards-Ermittler und Vampir-Hybride Cooper Montgomery dem Mordfall einer unbekannten Frau nachgeht. Als sich ihre Wege kreuzen, klicken Handschellen, Köpfe stoßen aneinander und die Funken fliegen. Sie beschließen gemeinsam, den Mörder zu jagen, und Cooper weiß, dass Anita irgendwann erkennen wird, dass der Serienmörder, der ausgeblutete Leichen hinterlässt, ein Vampir ist – und dass Cooper und seine Freunde und Familie auch Vampire sind. Doch wie lange kann er seine wahre Identität vor Anita verbergen, wenn diese erst einmal den Verdacht geschöpft hat, dass Cooper und seine Familie keine typische amerikanische Familie sind? Wenn Anita auf die Wahrheit stößt, wird die knisternde sexuelle Anziehung zwischen ihnen ausreichen, damit sie das Risiko eingeht, dem Vampir, in den sie sich langsam verliebt, zu vertrauen? Lara Adrian, New York Times Bestseller Autorin der Midnight Breed Serie: "Ich bin süchtig nach Tina Folsoms Büchern!

Wenn Sie glühend heiße, sich rasant entwickelnde Romane lieben, dann verpassen Sie diese packende Serie nicht!"

by G. S. MansonBrisbane, 1943. A provincial Australian city has turned almost overnight into the main Allied staging post for the war in the Pacific. The social, sexual, and racial tensions stirred up by the arrival of tens of thousands of US troops provoke all kinds of mayhem, and Brisbane's once quiet streets are suddenly looking pretty mean. Enter P.I. Jack Munro, a World War I veteran and ex-cop with a nose for trouble and a stubborn dedication to exposing the truth, however inconvenient it might be for those in charge. He's not always an especially good man, but he's the one you want on your side when things look bad. When Jack's hired by a knockout blonde to find her no-good missing husband, he turns over a few rocks he isn't supposed to, and the questions start to pile up, along with the bodies. Not inclined to take no for an answer, he forges on through the dockside bars, black-market warehouses, and segregated brothels of his roiling city, uncovering more than a few surprises in this murky tale based on actual events in a little-known corner of the WW2 theatre.

Copenhagen Noir (Akashic Noir #0)
by Bo Tao MichaëlisScandinavian writing has been dominating the global crime fiction landscape, and this volume offers a delicious, devious sampling. "The latest entry in the publisher's series (41 and counting) proves the resilience of, and market for, these locale noirs. Editor Michaëlis, a Danish book critic, is both scholarly and insightful in the introduction and outlines how the stories reflect the greed and ennui of modern Denmark in contrast to the Danish idyll depicted in tourist brochures . . . Although some stories veer from noir orthodoxy, there are fine examples of lyrical writing, noir sensibilities, and insight into the current Danish psyche. Overall, a very impressive anthology." --Library Journal "The indefatigable noir series of anthologies (Orange County Noir, Trinidad Noir, Brooklyn Noir 3, etc.) focuses in its 43rd volume on the home of Hans Christian Andersen . . . Based on this collection, Copenhagen may be a great place to visit, but nobody seems to live there, at least not well or long." --Kirkus Reviews "Fans used to the watered-down noir now prevalent in America will notice immediately the much harder edge of these stories, which are much closer to the noir of the 1940s and '50s." --Booklist "[This] volume has grim, uncomfortable power." --Publishers Weekly Joining Rome, Paris, Istanbul, London, and Dublin as European hosts for the Akashic Noir series, Copenhagen Noir features brand-new stories from a top-notch crew of Danish writers, with several Swedish and Norwegian writers thrown into the mix. This volume definitively reveals why Scandinavian crime fiction has come to be so popular across the world. Includes brand-new stories by: Naja Marie Aidt, Jonas T. Bengtsson, Helle Helle, Christian Dorph and Simon Pasternak, Susanne Staun, Lene Kaaberbol and Agnete Friis, Klaus Rifbjerg, Gretelise Holm, Georg Ursin, Kristian Lundberg, Kristina Stoltz, Seyit Öztürk, Benn Q. Holm, and Gunnar Staalesen. Bo Tao Michaëlis is a book critic and editor living in Copenhagen

Though his doctors have assured the cobwebs would soon dissolve, a more serious problem has arisen: it seems that during the three lost weeks he married a lady who subsequently turned up dead in Los Angeles. Now the police are trying to pin the murder on her unsuspecting, short-term widower, Joe Copp. While being pursued by the L.A.P.D. and an unknown assailant, Copp's search for answers to what happened and why leads him to the Mammoth mountain resort in northern California, where his decidedly ill-fated "romance" apparently began. Copp in Shock takes Joe to the edge of insanity as he careens toward the lethal truth. It is his darkest hour, and also his finest triumph in a riveting story of a man at war with his own mind and those who would eliminate him.
Copp in the Dark (Joe Copp #4)
by Don PendletonIn this fourth Copp adventure, a plea for help from a mysterious client plunges Copp into the lower depths of legitimate theater. It all begins innocently enough, except that Copp cannot quite identify his client -- it seems that the entire cast of a dinner theater production of "Man of La Mancha" may have chipped in to hire him. The fast pace of events threatens to overwhelm Copp in a maze of government agents, organized crime figures and kinky-inclined politicians as it becomes evident that Copp is his own client in a struggle to take control of the case and learn the truth before he takes the big fall. Copp is truly "in the dark" until the last bloody act. And not even he can know who will be around to answer the final curtain call.
Copp on Fire (Joe Copp #2)
by Don PendletonCopp's new case pulls him into the backlots of Hollywood, behind the glamorous facade of the movie industry, where the subjects of a stake-out begin dying, one by one. But before Copp can decipher the case and take it to the Los Angeles police, an undercover narcotics officer is nearly killed and Copp becomes an accomplice to murder. Thereafter Copp quickly finds himself in a real-life Hollywood movie scenario, running amok through the corporate halls and back lots in search of the gaudiest, gamiest game in which sudden death becomes the favorite plot device for making the scene. Copp on Fire is Don Pendleton's most ambitious, rewarding and exciting novel to date-a smashing return-engagement by one of the most original and compelling new characters in recent crime fiction. DON PENDLETON is the author of "The Executioner" series featuring Mack Bolan, which has sold some sixty million copies to date.
