Seit ihrem Tod vor zwei Jahren fristet er ein leeres Dasein als Hilfssheriff in einer Kleinstadt und hält sich mit One-Night-Stands in der nächsten größeren Stadt bei geistiger Gesundheit. Dann begegnet er Detective Christopher Hayes und sie verbringen eine so leidenschaftliche Nacht miteinander, dass Doug seine eigenen Regeln bricht und es zulässt, dass aus dem One-Night-Stand ein ganzes Wochenende wird. Als Christopher von San Diego nach Montana reist, um den Selbstmord seines ihm aus sehr guten Gründen entfremdeten älteren Bruders zu regeln, erwartet er nicht, den Mann, mit dem er gerade erst das Wochenende verbracht hat, als Sachbearbeiter des Falles seines Bruders wiederzufinden. Natürlich hat er nichts dagegen, mehr Zeit mit Doug zu verbringen – aber dann zerstört ein Brandstifter das Haus, das Christopher von seinem Bruder geerbt hat und Christopher und Doug finden sich als Hauptverdächtige wieder. Als sie anfangen zu ermitteln, stellen sie fest, dass Christophers toter Bruder sie auf die Spur eines irren Pädophilen geführt hat, der vor nichts zurückschreckt, um sein jüngstes Opfer zum Schweigen zu bringen.

The Onion Field
by Joseph WambaughHollywood. 1963. A Saturday night. A broken taillight leads to a routine traffic stop. It shouldn't have changed the lives of the four men involved, but it did. Before the night was over, one was dead, two would find themselves facing the death penalty, and the other's life would never be the same again. Fresh from a string of robberies, the car contained two desperate men who got the drop on the two LAPD cops who stopped them, seized their guns and kidnapped them. They then drove to a rural onion field where they decided to execute the cops. One officer was able to escape, but only at the price of his partner's life. Haunted by horrific memories, wracked by guilt, ostracized by his own, and repeatedly tormented by defence attorneys in one retrial after another as the defendants manipulate the quicksilver legal system, this cop suffered emotional meltdown. Wambaugh takes us meticulously through the crime, second by second, and then tells the surviving cop's powerful and moving story: the destruction of a forgotten victim. The Onion Field is Joseph Wambaugh's best-known and most celebrated work. It may be based on a true story, but it reads like a novel, much like Truman Capote's In Cold Blood.
Homeward Hound: A Novel ("Sister" Jane #11)
by Rita Mae Brown“Sister” Jane Arnold returns in a colorful mystery featuring four-legged sleuths—and the breathtaking thrill of the chase—from the New York Times bestselling author of Crazy Like a Fox. As winter deepens over the Blue Ridge Mountains, even the threat of snowstorms cannot derail this year’s Christmas run, not as long as Sister Jane has a say in it. With spirits high and traditions strong, a glorious parade of hunters in full holiday regalia gathers on the grounds of Tattenhall Station. But a blinding blizzard brings an early end to the sport. More disturbing: A horse soon returns without its rider. Gregory Luckham, the president of a powerful energy company pushing for a pipeline through central Virginia, is the missing hunter. His presence on the hunt has been controversial to say the least, and few would bemoan his passing. A search is organized for what is presumed will be a dead, frozen body. What is discovered, however, chills everyone to the bone—and points toward murder. With more than a few opinions offered by hunters, horses, hounds, and foxes, Sister Jane sets out to track down a killer and untangle a mystery packed as hard as snow—full of secrets, old wounds, and avarice. Steeped in the local history of Virginia’s horse country, Homeward Hound is a delightful immersion into a storied world no one knows better than Rita Mae Brown, accompanied by the indelible animal characters she brings vividly to life.

La misteriosa muerte de Eleanor Rigby
by Hugo BurelCon un final sorprendente que se revela en las últimas páginas, este libro combina los recursos de la novela policial con una serie de guiños a los beatlemaníacos más exigentes. «Horatio Pinkerton pensó muy bien en lo que iba a decir cuando estuvieron de nuevo junto al Bentley. #Si Eleanor Rigby fue asesinada, ¿qué hará usted si yo descubro al culpable? El capitán Whitehead lanzó un suspiro y aclaró su garganta. #Matarlo, por supuesto #dijo, con toda naturalidad.» Protagonista de una de las más bellas y famosas canciones de los Beatles, Eleanor Rigby es también el primer personaje literario que crearon. Su muerte descrita en la letra deja zonas abiertas a la especulación, de la que en su momento sus autores también participaron. Ese misterio que late en la historia de la solterona Eleanor y su vínculo con el solitario padre McKenzie ambienta esta novela, que completa los vacíos sugeridos por la canción y construye una trama enriquecida por la mejor tradición de la novela inglesa detectivesca. Con un final sorprendente que se revela en las últimas páginas, La misteriosa muerte de Eleanor Rigby combina los recursos de la novela policial con una serie de guiños a los beatlemaníacos más exigentes. Con la precisión de un mecanismo de relojería y un aceitado juego de ambigüedades y sorpresas, esta atrapante historia confirma una vez más la versatilidad y el talento narrativo de Hugo Burel.
