Between 12 and 1
"Between 12 and 1" is a compelling classic mystery from the Golden Age of British crime fiction. Written by Vernon Loder, a prominent voice in early 20th-century detective literature, the narrative revolves around a high-stakes investigation where the precise timing of events is the key to uncovering the truth. As the title suggests, a single hour becomes the crucible for a complex web of alibis, motives, and secrets. The work is a quintessential example of the traditional whodunit, emphasizing the power of logical deduction and the careful observation of human behavior. Loder masterfully assembles a cast of characters whose lives intersect in unexpected ways, forcing the reader to navigate through a labyrinth of red herrings and subtle clues. The novel captures the atmosphere of its era, blending suspense with the structured elegance of formal detective storytelling. With its focus on a tightly woven plot and the tension inherent in a race against time, "Between 12 and 1" remains a sophisticated exploration of the mystery genre. It stands as an enduring piece of literary craftsmanship, highlighting the intricate puzzles that defined the suspense fiction of the late 1920s.

It Happened in Hanoi
""A wrongful arrest by the Vietnamese Security Service sets the background for this remarkable story. As exciting as it is revealing, the book examines some of literature's major themes: moral ambiguity, the nature of evil, the bittersweet dividends of power, and the grace of love.""- J Lempriere""Intelligent and carefully crafted, It Happened in Hanoi is a story of love and duplicity, set against the background of State sponsored criminality. A rare combination of depth and breath, this probing book stirs both the heart and mind on many levels.""- O.M.""It Happened in Hanoi is both an insightful commentary on the dangers of State administration disengaged from the restraints imposed by normal governmental practice, and a gripping story of a man's search for meaning in a world threatened by organized violence and terrorism. It is a book which everyone ought to read.""- Falkiner

Der Sohn und das Schneeflöckchen
Vernesa Berbo erzählt mit eindringlicher Kraft und atemberaubendem Tempo vom Schicksal zweier Schwestern während der Belagerung Sarajevos.Dijana ist Schwester, Tochter und Soldatin. Auf die Frage, warum sie 'Sohn' genannt wird, lächelt ihr Vater nur geheimnisvoll, als wüsste er etwas über sie, das früher oder später alle sehen würden. Dijana ist selbstbewusst und leidenschaftlich, vor allem aber ist sie die Beschützerin von Dada, ihrer zwei Jahre jüngeren Schwester. Die sensible und aufgeweckte Dada kam 1976 bei Eiseskälte zur Welt, wie eine Schneeflocke, die im letzten Moment in den Raum schwebt, bevor man das Fenster zuschlägt. Mit Beginn der Belagerung Sarajevos im Jahr 1992 wird Dijana klar: Es ist an ihr, ihre Schwester, das 'Schneeflöckchen', lebend durch den Krieg zu bringen. Schon bald landet Dijana mit ihrem Vater an der ersten Frontlinie, und während Dijana dem Krieg mit Härte begegnet, klammert sich Dada an Mirza, ihre erste große Liebe - bis fatale Ereignisse den Schwestern alles zu nehmen drohen. So zärtlich, dennoch kompromisslos und zugleich voller erzählerischer Kraft ist selten über den Krieg und die Liebe entgegen allen Widrigkeiten geschrieben worden. Vernesa Berbo ist selbst Überlebende der Belagerung Sarajevos und stößt uns mitten hinein in jene Realität des Krieges, die noch immer zu wenig Beachtung findet: das Schicksal der Frauen, ihre tiefe seelische Verwundung, aber auch ihre große innere Stärke. Ein mitreißender Roman von atemloser Spannung.'Ein Roman gegen den Krieg und für die Liebe. Ein großes Glück!' Saša Staniši¿'Im Krieg, wenn keinerlei Ethos mehr Gültigkeit hat, lässt sich genau studieren, wie das Destruktive vonstattengeht. Dieser Roman ist Anrufung des Lebens und bitterer Gesang zugleich.' Marica Bodroži¿, FAZNominiert für den Internationalen Literaturpreis Meran-Europa
