Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Hale had always felt life was miscast. Other people seemed born for leading roles. They assembled shelves without incident, managed parking meters on the first try, and updated their phones without wiping out every photograph of their children - often one-handed, sometimes while doing several other things at once. Hale, by contrast, approached even a coffee machine with the caution of a bomb-disposal expert.Still, expectations applied to him as well. A husband should know how to fix things. A father should stay calm in emergencies. A grown man should be able to call customer service without getting drenched in sweat. Hale, however, struggled with nearly everything. Mostly himself, to put it mildly. Had anyone asked him to describe his defining characteristics, he probably would have listed cowardice, hypochondria, introversion, and in certain situations such painful cluelessness that it bordered on talent. Fortunately, nobody ever asked.On paper he was a sort of writer - adapting novels, classics, crime fiction, horror, and tragedy for the stage - but in ordinary life he seemed more at home in smaller forms. Mysterious stomach pains. Sardonic interior monologues. Humiliating social encounters. And scenes that usually ended with an apology, occasionally directed at a machine.Yet people rarely judged him too harshly. Perhaps because beneath the anxiety, complaints, and awkwardness lay a sincere wish to do right. To be a good husband. A good father. A decent man - even if he managed it only partially, and seldom with much grace.>Gábor Domokos (born 1972 in Budapest) is a Hungarian novelist and screenwriter.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Winner - Best Foreign Language Book - 2026 Los Angeles Book Festival Third Place - Literary Fiction: Mystery, Thriller, & Suspense - 2026 Spring The Book Fest 'An entertaining and unsettling thriller, The Con Company is about the pervasiveness of corruption, which is passed between generations as people trade integrity for advantages.' - Foreword Reviews A cinematic heist novel by award-winning screenwriter Gábor Domokos. Everyone in this book has a role to play-and nothing is quite what it seems. Set in Budapest and driven by razor-sharp timing, The Con Company is a fast-moving con-artist novel where charm, deception, and intelligence collide. The story unfolds through a cast of unforgettable characters-professionals, amateurs, and opportunists alike-each convinced they are one step ahead, even when they are not. Alliances shift, appearances deceive, and every detail matters more than it first appears. With its cinematic pacing, dark humor, and intricate misdirection, the novel invites the reader into a world where the line between performance and reality is deliberately blurred. Every conversation, every gesture, every choice carries weight-and the reader is constantly challenged to keep up. Smart, playful, and relentlessly entertaining, The Con Company is a celebration of the art of the con-where being fooled is part of the fun, and the biggest trick is believing you have seen it all. With nearly 400 IMDb credits to his name, Gábor Domokos is an accomplished screenwriter whose work spans television and film. His storytelling sensibility-fast-paced, visual, and dialogue-driven-carries seamlessly into fiction. The Con Company is his debut novel in English translation. …
