Man against man. Face to face. One machine against another. It was shortly after the outbreak of the First World War. Martin Falconer and his friend, Frank , were anxious to ‘get into the scrap’ as soon as possible, their youth blinding them to the real danger of it all. Geoffrey , Martin’s elder brother, knew that it wasn’t a game. He had fought in the trenches, been wounded and had seen friends die.

Hitler as Military Commander - John Strawson - Bog - Canelo - Plusbog.dk

Hitler as Military Commander - John Strawson - Bog - Canelo - Plusbog.dk

Was Hitler ''the greatest strategic genius of all time'' as Nazi propaganda had it, or just an amateur? Why was the startling success of his campaigns in Poland and France followed by the blundering mistakes in Russia, North Africa and France? Might Germany even have won the war without Hitler''s continual and disastrous interference? In this extraordinary history, John Strawson answers these and other questions by showing how Hitler''s insatiable preoccupation with war and conquest was translated into reality. While the power of a revitalized German army came from Hitler, Strawson examines the Fuhrer''s eccentric use of the most formidable war machine the world had ever seen. This lucid story of fire and incompetence is brought alive by the accounts of those who served Hitler both on his staff and as field commanders. Perfect for readers of Ian Kershaw and Anthony Beevor.

''Flynt is as bold and ruthless a killer-agent as James Bond, and even more resourceful'' Scotsman A city on the brink of civil war. A madman pulling the strings. A family is found butchered in a dismal room in the Rookery, London’s poorest district. Not even their small children are left alive.

When another family is murdered just as brutally, Flynt uncovers evidence of a simmering conflict between rival gangs, with Wild seemingly desperate to keep a lid on the slaughter. The question for Flynt is how deep is his new friend The Admiral , a gang leader, involved, and is he capable of killing innocents? Or is there someone else in London, more dangerous and more deranged, with blood on their hands?

But what will really surprise you is the emotional foundation on which it has been built.’ Andrew Pyper, bestselling author of The Homecoming ‘ Still Mine delivers all the nail-biting moments of a fast-paced thriller and filters them through the eyes of girl-with-a-past Clare O’Dey: deeply flawed yet instantly recognizable, O’Dey is a noir detective hero for a postmodern age . Author Amy Stuart sends one missing woman out to look for another one, and the result is chilling. You’ll find yourself turning the pages faster and faster.’ Elisabeth De Mariaffi, author of The Devil You Know ‘ An intricately woven thriller . . . . You’ll want desperately to solve the mystery not only of the missing Shayna, but of Clare O’Dey, Amy Stuart’s heartbreaking heroine, on the run from the darkest forces both within and without. . . A vivid and haunting debut .’ Holly LeCraw, author of The Swimming Pool ‘From its evocative opening to its heart-pounding conclusion, Still Mine is a gripping mystery that I felt desperate to solve... A tense and absorbing read .’ Lucy Clarke author of The Castaways

Blood Sacrifice - Douglas Jackson - Bog - Canelo - Plusbog.dk

Chosen as one of the Scotsman ''s Books of the Year 2024 ''One can confidently say that ( Blood Roses and Blood Sacrifice ) display an intelligence and ambition rare in Scottish fiction today'' Scotsman ''This is historical noir at its most potent and a series that you will never forget'' Crime Time Book of the Month, November 2024 One corpse, three separate identities and a city full of murderers. As the ghetto’s streets run with blood, can Jan Kalisz find the truth? January 1943. Warsaw is a city of the dead. In the ghetto, the last fifty thousand Jews await their fate but, unlike those who preceded them to the death camps, they are prepared to fight to the end. Jan Kalisz, Kripo investigator and Resistance double-agent, has promised to supply them with weapons. But how will he fulfil his vow? The murder of a German officer appears to provide an opportunity. For the victim is a man with multiple identities, one of which is a wealthy Jew… The hunt for the murderer draws Kalisz into the chaos of the ghetto, only to find a new, perilous mission awaiting him. SS death squads are not the only enemy the Jews fear. A mysterious figure – known only as the Golem – stalks the ruined streets, spiriting away orphaned children. Can Kalisz track him down before he strikes again? The chilling second thriller in the Warsaw Quartet by Douglas Jackson, perfect for readers of Simon Scarrow and Robert Harris. Praise for Blood Sacrifice ''One has the impression that all the novels Jackson has previously written, especially the nine that make up his Hero of Rome series, have prepared him for what he has set himself to do in this series. This is a story of shifting loyalties, of crime and detection, but also a study in historical tragedy. Jan Kalisz has to carry a lot of weight as the hero of such a story. So far, however, he is fully up to it and the promise of what is to come is compelling. Meanwhile, one can confidently say that these first two novels display an intelligence and ambition rare in Scottish fiction today'' Scotsman Praise for Blood Roses , book one of the Warsaw Quartet ‘A compelling, evocative story of evil stalking amidst the chaos of war’ Giles Kristian ''A dark, twisting thriller ... Jan Kalisz, Douglas Jackson''s police officer hero, is the natural heir to the late Philip Kerr''s Bernie Gunther'' Andrew Taylor ‘A remarkable crime debut … What raises the novel to another level is in the atmospheric evocation of a city in the process of being systematically obliterated by the Germans and brought to life again by Jackson’s pen … Gripping stuff, a series that could develop into something impressive and a goldmine for Philip Kerr Bernie Gunther fans’ Maxim Jakubowski , Crime Time ‘This is historical crime fiction at its best’ Chris Lloyd ‘The writing is scalpel-sharp, the unrelenting savagery of the Nazi occupation vividly painted… With this book, Jackson will rightfully be regarded as one of the UK’s finest crime writers’ Ben Kane ‘A taut, tense thriller… Gutsy and gripping, this is perfect for fans of Chris Lloyd and Robert Harris’ D. V. Bishop ‘Jackson has created a brilliant mash-up of WW2 thriller and a serial killer chiller, and in so doing brings a fresh perspective to both. Sharp, intelligent writing that makes for a compelling read’ Alison Belsham ‘Jackson brings the tension, brutality and paranoia of Warsaw of the period into murderous life. A knife-edge thriller’ Douglas Skelton ''Jackson has written an utterly compelling novel ... A remarkable piece of work, a fine piece of craftsmanship'' Scotsman

From behind her came a noise, and she whirled around. Two pairs of cold, murderous eyes stared back at her from beneath hooded cloaks. She stood cemented in place, even as her brain screamed at her to run… It’s their usual Thursday girls’ night in, and best friends Skye, Elena, and London are enjoying hanging out at Skye’s house in New Mexico, eating junk food, drinking wine, and playing with Skye’s little children, Carter and Abigail. Until the intruders arrive. Hearing the horrific screams from Elena and Skye, London hides the children, tiptoes out to see what has happened… and disappears. After Carter raises the alarm, Detective Alyssa Wyatt is called in to investigate a bloodbath that appears to have no motive, no evidence, and worse still – no sign of London. As Alyssa and her team dig deeper, the truth is always out of their reach… but what is clear is that they need to find London, and fast.
