Außenseiter, Geister und Heilige bevölkern die spannenden Romane von Jess Kidd, gespickt mit einer Brise Humor und Figuren, die durch nichts aus der Fassung zu bringen sind. Dieser Band vereint drei Romane dieser außergewöhnlichen Autorin! »Der Freund der Toten« Ein kleines Dorf, sein dunkles Geheimnis und eine gefährliche Begegnung mit der Vergangenheit ... Der charmante Gelegenheitsdieb Mahony glaubte immer, seine Mutter habe ihn aus Desinteresse 1950 in einem Waisenhaus in Dublin abgegeben. Sechsundzwanzig Jahre später erhält er einen Brief, der ein ganz anderes, ein brutales Licht auf die Geschichte seiner Mutter wirft. Mahony reist in seinen Geburtsort, um herauszufinden, was damals wirklich geschah. Einige Dorfbewohner setzen alles daran, dass er die Wahrheit nicht herausfindet. Doch im Ort trifft Mahony auch auf die eine oder andere exzentrische Person, die ihm hilft. Dass es sich dabei manchmal um einen Toten handelt, scheint ihn nicht weiter zu stören ... »Heilige und andere Tote« Bridlemere – ein herrschaftliches Anwesen im Westen Londons, das seine besten Tage bereits gesehen hat. Hier haust Cathal Flood, einst Antiquitäten- und Kuriositätenhändler, inzwischen zu einem Messie verkommen. Die Neueste in der endlosen Reihe erfolgloser Sozialarbeiter, die Cathal zur Räson bringen soll, ist Maud Drennan. Unter den wüsten Beschimpfungen des Alten zieht sie beherzt gegen Dreck und Müll zu Felde. Doch überall im Haus scheinen verschlüsselte Botschaften zu warten. Wie das Foto von zwei Kindern, auf dem das Gesicht des Mädchens weggebrannt ist. Hat Flood eine heimliche Tochter? Und warum hasst er seinen Sohn so sehr? Auch der Tod seiner Frau gibt Fragen über Fragen auf. Maud würde am liebsten alle bedrückenden Hinweise ignorieren. Doch ihre Vermieterin Renata, die für ihr Leben gern Detektivin spielt, und eine Horde marodierender Heiliger, die nur Maud sehen kann, wittern längst ein Verbrechen. »Die Ewigkeit in einem Glas« London 1863. Bridie Devine, Privatdetektivin und Expertin für kleinere chirurgische Eingriffe, erhält den Auftrag, die entführte Tochter eines Adligen zurückzubringen. Alles an dem Fall ist beängstigend seltsam: der nervöse Vater, die feindselige Dienerschaft, der windige Hausarzt. Allen voran aber die verschwundene Christabel, die kaum je einer gesehen hat. Doch zunächst ist die energische Bridie ganz in ihrem Element, denn sie liebt vertrackte Fälle. Zudem fühlt sie sich beschützt von ihrem neuen Begleiter, Ruby – der ist zwar tot, aber wen stört das schon? Als sich Bridie Zugang zu Christabels Räumen verschafft, begreift sie, was das Besondere an dem Mädchen ist und dass sie in großer Gefahr schwebt. »Man möchte sich verneigen vor Jess Kidd.« Die Zeit

A January Book of the Month Pick “Miraculous and thrilling…A few pages in and I was determined to read every word Jess Kidd has ever written.” —Diane Setterfield, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Once Upon a River “An impossible wonder: a book for everyone, and yet somehow a book just for you...A sumptuous tour of Victorian London, resurrected here with a vigor and vibrancy to rival The Crimson Petal and the White...Utterly magical.”—A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window “A perfect mix of hilarity, the macabre, and a touch of romance, Things in Jars is ridiculously entertaining, all as it sneaks up and makes you feel things…Simply: Jess Kidd is so good it isn’t fair.” —Erika Swyler, bestselling author of The Book of Speculation and Light from Other Stars In the dark underbelly of Victorian London, a formidable female sleuth is pulled into the macabre world of fanatical anatomists and crooked surgeons while investigating the kidnapping of an extraordinary child in this gothic mystery—perfect for fans of The Essex Serpent and The Book of Speculation. Bridie Devine—female detective extraordinaire—is confronted with the most baffling puzzle yet: the kidnapping of Christabel Berwick, secret daughter of Sir Edmund Athelstan Berwick, and a peculiar child whose reputed supernatural powers have captured the unwanted attention of collectors trading curiosities in this age of discovery. Winding her way through the labyrinthine, sooty streets of Victorian London, Bridie won’t rest until she finds the young girl, even if it means unearthing a past that she’d rather keep buried. Luckily, her search is aided by an enchanting cast of characters, including a seven-foot tall housemaid; a melancholic, tattoo-covered ghost; and an avuncular apothecary. But secrets abound in this foggy underworld where spectacle is king and nothing is quite what it seems. Blending darkness and light, history and folklore, Things in Jars is a spellbinding Gothic mystery that collapses the boundary between fact and fairy tale to stunning effect and explores what it means to be human in inhumane times.

The second of the Black Forest Investigations - "Its plot bristles with invention" Guardian It has been a long dry summer in the Black Forest idyll of Kirchzarten. When the local fire brigade is called to a burning farm shed, a volunteer is killed as a weapons cache beneath it explodes. The small community is shocked to the core. Louise Bonì, back with Freiburg Kripo after a period of withdrawal, is assigned to the task force dealing with the case. The meagre evidence they gather points to a possible connection with German neo-Nazis or illegal arms dealers from the former Yugoslavia, but the appearance of secret service agents marking out the forest suggests more is at stake. Acting as her partner in the case is Thomas Ilic, whose allegiances are as conflicted as Bonì's. Who is in fact working for whom? In the most challenging case of her career - and one that puts her in mortal danger - Bonì must to overcome the ghosts of her past that continue to haunt her. Oliver Bottini is a fresh and exciting voice in the world of crime fiction; the Rhine borderlands of the Black Forest are a perfect setting for his beautifully crafted mysteries.

We've all got two families: the one we're born with, and the one we choose ourselves. Heiko hasn't finished high school. His father is an alcoholic. His mother left. His housemate organizes illegal dogfights. He works in his uncle's gym, one frequented by bikers and skinheads. He definitely isn't one of society's winners, but he has his chosen family, the pack of soccer hooligans he's grown up with. His uncle is the leader, and gradually Heiko has risen in the ranks, until he's recognized in the stands of his home team and beyond the stadium walls, where, after the game, he and his gang represent their city in brutal organized brawls with hooligans from other localities. Philipp Winkler's stunning, widely acclaimed novel won the prize for best debut and was a finalist for the most prestigious German book award. It offers an intimate, devastating portrait of working-class, post-industrial urban life on the fringes and a universal story about masculinity in the twenty-first century, with a protagonist whose fear of being left behind has driven him to extremes. Narrated with lyrical authenticity by Heiko himself, it captures the desperation and violence that permeate his world, along with the yearning for brotherhood.
