Two explosions in Victoria mark the beginning of a bombing campaign against banking institutions in London. The attacks bear the hallmarks of Irish republican dissidents but are disowned by IRA volunteers and politicians in Belfast. Detective Chief Inspector John Kerr believes the bombs are the work of the extremist group Anti-Capitalist Insurrection, with attacks in London the first stage of a devastatingly deadly campaign across Europe. Can Kerr stop them in time?

Home can be the most dangerous place. They had cameras, alarms, lights, even guard dogs. They had storm doors and locks on their windows. They knew martial arts, they had knives to hand, and one of them even had a gun. And he still got in . . . A terrifying killer is haunting Glasgow's affluent suburbs – invading homes and smothering people left on their own. The tabloids have a name for the murderer based on his method of folding the bodies into tiny spaces, as well as his uncanny knack of seemingly springing out of nowhere: Jack-in-the-Box. Inspector Lomond has an impossible case to crack. The houses involved have state-of-the-art security systems and were all securely locked at the time of death. There is no evidence of forced entry, and video footage shows no sign of any intruders. How is he getting in? How is he getting out? And who will be next?

Czechoslovakia, October 1937. Vast crowds have gathered to watch the threatened nation's most prestigious sporting contest: the Grand Pardubice steeplechase. Notoriously dangerous, the race is considered the ultimate test of manhood and fighting spirit. The Nazis have sent their paramilitary elite-SS officers on a mission to crush the 'subhuman Slavs'. The local cavalry officers have no hope of stopping them. But there is one other contestant: a countess riding a little golden mare. . . The story of Lata Brandisová is by turns enigmatic and inspiring. Born into privilege, she spent much of her life in poverty. Modest and shy, she refused to accept the constraints society placed on her because of her gender. Instead, with quiet courage, she repeatedly achieved what others said was impossible and rose above scandal to become her nation's figurehead in its darkest hour.

He's good at his job, but his arrogance and propensity to violence makes him a liability. But when Janey discovers that he's linked to the disappearance of two women, it's time to take revenge. Because no one messes with Janey, or her empire. . .and as gangland is about to learn, a powerful woman will stop at nothing to protect her reputation.

A killer is murdering Goths with relish – skinning and butchering them. The cops aren't getting anywhere so Jack Nightingale's nemesis, Superintendent Chalmers, asks him for help.

As Nightingale closes in on the killers, the tables are turned and he finds himself in the firing line, along with his friends and family. The Order will stop at nothing to protect their secrets and Nightingale realises that there is nothing he can do to protect himself.

When a mate from his past ends up in a Bolivian prison, Harper doesn't think twice about going to his aid. Beatings, rapes and murders are an everyday occurrence in the prison. But the only way to break his friend out is for Harper to put his own life on the line, in a place where death comes quickly and only the strong survive. Getting into the prison is easy enough – but can Harper get out? And how many people will he have to kill to make it back?

And the message from her captors is brutal: "If your team wins, your family dies." With the kick-off only hours away, there is only one person Gabe can turn to – his brother Ray, a vicious London gangster. But a dark family secret means that he hasn't spoken to Ray for years. Can Ray help? And will he?

Following adventures she would sooner forget in the newly renamed New York, Mercia Blakewood is hopeful that she has gained the leverage with the king she needs to reclaim her family's home back in England. The breathtaking new world piques her curiosity and a burgeoning friendship with Clemency Carter, a local medicine woman, prompts Mercia to delay her return. Navigating an unknown landscape, the aftershocks still felt of revolution and restoration, and the uneasy relationship between the Puritan settlers and native Indians, proves complex. But when the virgin forests of New England are tainted by murder, Mercia will not rest until the killer is brought to justice.

Isis Entschleiert: Studienausgabe

Bewegungskunst mit Tanzsack und Isis-Wings

Lully: Isis

In „Tränen der Isis" entfaltet Soledad Arroyave eine eindringliche Neuerzählung des altägyptischen Mythos von Isis und Osiris – doch weit entfernt von trockener Nacherzählung erschafft die Autorin ein literarisches Kunstwerk von berührender Intensität und sprachlicher Brillanz. Nach der Ermordung des Osiris durch seinen Bruder Set beginnt die Göttin Isis eine verzweifelte Suche nach den vierzehn Teilen des zerstückelten Leibes ihres Geliebten, die im Nil verstreut wurden. In fünf kunstvoll komponierten Gesängen begleiten wir Isis auf ihrer schmerzvollen Reise durch ein Ägypten, das zwischen Götterdämmerung und menschlicher Verzweiflung schwebt. Dabei ist dies weit mehr als eine mythologische Abenteuergeschichte: Arroyave erforscht mit feinem psychologischen Gespür die Abgründe von Trauer, Verrat und der Frage, was Liebe bedeutet, wenn der Tod das Unwiderrufliche vollbracht hat. Die Autorin wählt eine außergewöhnliche Erzählweise, die den Leser unmittelbar in die innere Welt der Göttin versetzt. Durch eine poetische, beinahe meditative Sprache, die sich Zeit nimmt für jede Regung, jeden Zweifel, jede Hoffnung, entsteht ein Text von seltener Eindringlichkeit. Die Prosa fließt wie der Nil selbst – manchmal ruhig und kontemplativ, dann wieder aufgewühlt von der Wucht der Emotionen. Besonders bemerkenswert ist Arroyaves Darstellung der Beziehung zwischen Isis und ihrer Schwester Nephthys, der Gattin des Mörders Set. In den Momenten ihrer vorsichtigen Annäherung offenbart sich die ganze Komplexität von Schuld, Loyalität und der Möglichkeit oder Unmöglichkeit von Vergebung. Diese zwischenmenschlichen Spannungen verleihen dem mythischen Geschehen eine zeitlose, universelle Dimension. Die fünf Gesänge der „Zerstreuung und Wiederkehr" folgen nicht nur Isis' äußerer Reise entlang des Nils, sondern kartografieren auch ihre innere Transformation.

Sie ist weise, furchtlos, mächtig und stark – und sie schreckt vor nichts zurück, um ihre große Liebe vor dem Tod zu retten. Isis, Göttin der Magie und der uralten Weisheit, regiert viele Jahre rechtmäßig an der Seite ihres Geliebten Osiris über Ägypten. Doch als Osiris von seinem rachsüchtigen Bruder Seth, dem Gott des Chaos, grausam ermordet wird, begibt sich Isis auf eine beschwerliche Reise, um den Geist ihres Geliebten zurückzuholen. Unbeugsam stellt sie sich dem drohenden Sieg des Chaos entgegen und geht dabei bis an die äußersten Grenzen ihrer Macht. Eine kraftvolle, sinnliche Neuerzählung des Isis-Osiris-Mythos über eine unbeirrbare Göttin und ihre Liebe, die selbst den Tod herausfordert.
