A Rip Through Time

"A great read." -Charlaine Harris In this series debut from New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong, a modern-day homicide detective finds herself in Victorian Scotland-in an unfamiliar body-with a killer on the loose. May 20, 2019: Homicide detective Mallory is in Edinburgh to be with her dying grandmother. While out on a jog one evening, Mallory hears a woman in distress. She's drawn to an alley, where she is attacked and loses consciousness. May 20, 1869: Housemaid Catriona Mitchell had been enjoying a half-day off, only to be discovered that night in a lane, where she'd been strangled and left for dead . . . exactly one-hundred-and-fifty years before Mallory was strangled in the same spot. When Mallory wakes up in Catriona's body in 1869, she must put aside her shock and adjust quickly to the reality: life as a housemaid to an undertaker in Victorian Scotland. She soon discovers that her boss, Dr. Gray, also moonlights as a medical examiner and has just taken on an intriguing case, the strangulation of a young man, similar to the attack on herself. Her only hope is that catching the murderer can lead her back to her modern life . . . before it's too late. Outlander meets The Alienist in Kelley Armstrong's A Rip Through Time, the first book in this utterly compelling series, mixing romance, mystery, and fantasy with thrilling results.

Hot Time (eBook, ePUB)

For fans of The Knick, The Alienist, and The Last Days of Night, an entertaining, atmospheric crime thriller set in the Gilded Age. New York, August 1896. A "hot wave" has settled on the city with no end in sight, leaving tempers short and the streets littered with dead horses felled by the heat. In this presidential election year, the gulf between rich and poor has political passions flaring, while anti-immigrant sentiment has turned virulent. At Police Headquarters, the gruff, politically ambitious commissioner Theodore Roosevelt has been struggling to reform his notoriously corrupt department. Meanwhile, the yellow press is ready to pounce on the peccadilloes of the Four Hundred, the city's social elite-the better to sell papers with lurid stories and gossip or perhaps profit from a little blackmail on the side. When the body of Town Topics publisher William d'Alton Mann is found at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, any number of his ink-spattered victims may have a motive. Hot Time is an immensely entertaining, deeply researched, and richly textured historical novel set in a period that reflects our own, with cameos by figures ranging from financier J. P. Morgan to muckraking journalist Jacob Riis. Our guides through New York's torrid, bustling streets are Otto "Rafe" Raphael from the Lower East Side, one of the first Jewish officers in the heavily Irish force, who finds as many enemies within the department as outside it; Minnie Kelly, the department's first female stenographer; Theodore Roosevelt himself; and the plucky orphan Dutch, one of the city's thousands of newsboys, who may have seen too much.

Westside Lights

The Alienist meets the magical mystery of The Ninth House as W. M. Akers returns with the third book in his critically acclaimed Jazz Age fantasy series set in the dangerous Westside of New York City, following private detective Gilda Carr's hunt for the truth—one tiny mystery at a time. The Westside of Manhattan is desolate, overgrown, and dangerous—and Gilda Carr wouldn't have it any other way. An eccentric detective whose pursuit of tiny mysteries has dragged her to the brink of madness, Gilda spends 1923 searching for something that's eluded her for years: peace. On the revitalized waterfront of the Lower West, Gilda and the gregarious ex-gangster Cherub Stevens start a new life on a stolen yacht. But their old life isn't done with them yet. They dock their boat on the edge of the White Lights District, a new tenderloin where liquor, drugs, sex, and violence are shaken into a deadly cocktail. When her pet seagull vanishes into the District, Gilda throws herself into the search for the missing bird. Up late watching the river for her pet, Gilda has one drink too many and passes out in the cabin of her waterfront home. She wakes to a massacre. Eight people have been slaughtered on the deck of the Misery Queen, and Cherub is among the dead. Gilda, naturally, is the prime suspect. Hunted by the police, the mob, and everyone in between, she must stay free long enough to find the person who stained the Hudson with her beloved's blood. She will discover that on her Westside, no lights are bright enough to drive away the darkness.

1794 / Winge und Cardell ermitteln Bd.2

Endlich! Die mit Spannung erwartete Fortsetzung von »1793«: Ein ungleiches Ermittlerteam findet Grausames im Stockholm des 18. Jahrhunderts. Mit »1793« gelang Niklas Natt och Dag aus dem Stand ein internationaler Bestseller. Jetzt schickt er in »1794« seinen gebeutelten Ermittler Jean Michael Cardell zum zweiten Mal in den Abgrund. Wer Serien wie »The Alienist« verschlungen hat und Rätsel à la Sherlock Holmes liebt, ist bei SPIEGEL-Bestsellerautor Niklas Natt och Dag genau an der richtigen Stelle. Mit seinem Debüt »1793« hat er den Schwedenkrimi praktisch neu erfunden und verwebt in der Fortsetzung »1794« erneut Historisches mit einer Mörderjagd, die die menschliche Dunkelheit erbarmungslos ans Licht zerrt. Ermittler Jean Michael Cardell ist am Ende seiner Kräfte. Er schafft es kaum, die Ereignisse des Vorjahres zu verarbeiten, da meldet sich eine Frau bei ihm. Ihre Tochter wurde grausam ermordet, der Ehemann als Täter identifiziert. Doch dieser Fall ist wesentlich verstrickter, als es den Anschein hat. Und so begibt sich Jean Michael Cardell gemeinsam mit dem hochintelligenten Bruder von Cecil Winge in die schmutzige Unterwelt des historischen Stockholms, in dem die Gosse gleich neben dem Glanz wartet. »Es ist dieser Kontrast zwischen den Idealen dieser Zeit und der Gewalt, die Natt och Dag eindringlich aufeinander prallen lässt.« - Süddeutsche Zeitung Niklas Natt och Dag kratzt den Lack von der romantischen Verklärung einer ganzen Epoche. Sein historischer Krimi über das 18. Jahrhundert ist eine meisterhaft reelle Nahbetrachtung von Mord und Machtspielen im Bürgertum Schwedens. Dabei bleibt er immer nah am Erfolgsrezept des skandinavischen Krimis, das ihn zu einem Genre mit vielen Millionen Lesern gemacht hat. Nordic Noir auf historischem Höhenflug: Entdecken Sie Niklas Natt och Dag!
