'Provides a boilerplate for anyone wishing to write a Scandi crime novel Weber, "a dagger in a velvet sheath", is an engaging character; discerning readers will wish to meet him again' Mark Sanderson, The Times 'Atmospheric' Crime Monthly 'Jakob Weber is a great protagonist, and the sense of place is phenomenal. The perfect start to a series destined for greatness' Thomas Enger 'This is first-class Nordic Noir from the real North, where danger lurks around every corner' Gunnar Staalesen _______ In Norway's frozen north, it's not just secrets that are buried When nineteen-year-old Iselin Hanssen disappears duringa run in a popular hiking area in Bodø, Northern Norway, suspicion quickly falls on her boyfriend. For investigator Jakob Weber, the case seems clear-cut, almost unexceptional, even though there is some suggestion that Iselin lived parts of her life beneath the radar ofboth family and friends. But events take a dramatic turn when another woman disappears in similar circumstances this time on the island of Røst, miles off the Norwegian coast, in the wild ocean. Rumours that a killer is on the loose begin to spread, terrifying the local population and leading to wild conspiracies. But then Jakob discovers that this isn't the first time that young women have vanished without a trace in the region, and it becomes clear that someone is hiding something and another murderous spree may have just begun For fans of Joe Pickett, Ragnar Jonasson and Jorn Lier Horst ___________________ 'Dark and totally gripping adds a new dimension to the police procedural which goes beyond the standard elements of the genre' Ewa Sherman, European Literature Network What readers are saying 'Multiple theories and suspects keep us on edge until the very end' 'Impossible to put down' 'The spectacular setting is a character in its own right' 'Quirky, believable characters and some of the most breathtaking descriptions of Northern Norway that I've ever read' 'Simply superb both creepy and thrilling' 'An incredible, addictive start to a new series'. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -\*\*\* THENEW YORK TIMESBESTSELLER \*\*\*Chosen as a book of the year by the Financial Times, The Times and Sunday Times, and Waterstones.'An eye-opening account of superyachts, the billionaires who buy them, and what it all means for the rest of us . [a] droll and timely analysis ofextreme wealth' -¿GuardianWho are America's oligarchs What do they want How do they operate Is there anything that can be done to contain their power The ultrarich hold more of America's wealth than they did in the heyday of the Carnegies and Rockefellers. In this incisive and provocative book, Evan Osnos offers an unforgettable portrait of the tactics and obsessions driving this new Gilded Age, in which superyachts, luxury bunkers, elite tax dodges and a torrent of political donations bespeak staggering disparities of wealth and power.With deft storytelling and meticulous reporting, Osnos explores the indulgences, incentives and psychological distortions that define our time. He delves into the unprecedented influence Silicon Valley and Wall Street have on government, drawing on in-depth interviews with Mark Zuckerberg and other billionaires. He also exposes the hidden world of the ultrarich in all its outrageous, fabulous, ridiculous detail: a private wealth manager who broke with members of an American dynasty and spilled their secrets; the pop stars who perform at lavish parties for thirteen-year-olds; the status anxieties that spill out of marinas in Monaco and Palm Beach like real-world episodes of Succession and The White Lotus.Originally published in the New Yorker, these essays have been revised and expanded to deliver an unflinching portrait of the rise of America's modern oligarchy. Osnos's essays are a wake-up call - a case against complacency in the face of unchecked excess, as the choices of the ultrarich ripple through our lives. Entertaining, unsettling and eye-opening, The Haves and Have-Yachts couldn't be more relevant to today's world. 304 pp. Englisch.…
