Two Bodies Are Better Than One


Loaded with dark humor and sharp wit, this wild ride through the ’80s follows an advice columnist trying to unravel the mystery of the dead body on her lawn—while keeping her own secrets under wraps. Until 1989, the wildest thing to happen in the sleepy town of Sheboygan Bay was surfers catching waves on frigid Lake Michigan. Then one summer morning, Lorraine Highsmith wakes up to find a corpse on her lawn. Detective Michaela “Mike” Zenoni is on the case immediately, eager to make a name for herself in a male-dominated precinct. And Lorraine is close behind—as the local advice columnist, she’s always looking for a scoop. What they don’t know is that Lorraine once had ties to the mob, and those connections could be coming back to haunt her. A recent transplant to Wisconsin, she keeps her past shrouded in mystery, and she’d like to keep it that way. Mike might be working with her to find the killer, but Lorraine knows that alliances can change on a dime. She needs to get ahead of this story . . . no matter who’s trying to put an end to hers.

Otherworldly


From award-winning writer, producer, and filmmaker Dwain Worrell comes a poignant and thrilling science fiction adventure about a young astronaut navigating addiction and loss who finds herself stranded on a mysterious planet where members of her crew go missing one by one. Cleo Xavier is a renowned astronaut and explorer—not an addict. At least, that’s what she tells herself. She’s always been able to navigate the isolation and loneliness that come with space exploration, which makes her a perfect candidate to join four other astronauts on a mission to Orbis Alius, the farthest planet in the solar system, to test its terraforming viability. But when Cleo and her crew arrive on Orbis Alius, its surrounding wasteland reveals mysteries and horrors that none of them could ever imagine. Here, the tortured atmosphere changes as dramatically as the landscape. The sky itself seems to be descending. And something sinister lurks in the unknown. One by one, the crew goes missing and Cleo must venture deeper into the planet to save them—even while she finds herself falling to old vices as the isolation she once so craved becomes as oppressive as the shifting black fog. The farther Cleo ventures and the more she uncovers about the secrets Orbis Alius holds, the more she starts to realize that maybe she isn’t alone at all.

Josef Mengele eltűnése


A hitleri rezsim bukása után számos háborús bűnösnek sikerült elmenekülnie a felelősségre vonás elől. A vezető beosztású náci tisztviselők, SS-tisztek, tömeggyilkosok és olasz vagy horvát elvbarátaik, szövetségeseik többségének Dél-Amerika nyújtott menedéket. Olivier Guez valós tényekre alapozott regénye az egyik leghírhedtebb háborús bűnös, Josef Mengele, az Auschwitzban "a Halál Angyalaként" emlegetett SS-orvos háború utáni sorsát követi nyomon. A koncentrációs tábor foglyain végzett szörnyű kísérleteiről elhíresült Mengele először a nácikra csodálattal tekintő Perón Argentínájában telepedett le. Ott annyira biztonságban érezte magát, hogy egy idő után már az álnevét sem használta, de miután Németországban elfogatóparancsot adtak ki ellene, kénytelen volt átköltözni Paraguayba, majd Brazíliába, ahol jó ideig egy emigráns magyar házaspár birtokán élt. Szinte hihetetlen, de bujkálása idején Mengele megfordult Svájcban és Németországban is, és ugyanilyen megdöbbentő, hogy a tömeggyilkos orvos Paraguayban az állampolgárság mellé még erkölcsi bizonyítványt is kapott. A regény lapjain sok más Dél-Amerikába menekült háborús bűnös is felbukkan: a holokauszt fő szervezője, milliók gyilkosa, Adolf Eichmann, a százezrek haláláért felelős usztasa vezér, Ante Pavelić vagy a Mussolinit a fogságból megszöktető Otto Skorzeny ugyanazokban a nácibarát körökben forgott, mint Mengele. Eichmannt a Moszad ügynökei végül elkapták, de Josef Mengele több mint harminc éven át el tudta kerülni az elfogatását, és bűnös tetteiért soha nem kellett bíróság elé állnia.

A mór megtette - Az elmúlt évtizedek legmegrázóbb magyar gyilkosságai


"Egy gépjárműbűnözésre specializálódott kollégám mondta egyszer, hogy őt csak akkor érdekli az ölés, ha autóért történt, engem viszont csak akkor izgat egy ellopott személygépkocsi, ha halott van a csomagtartóban." Dr. Kovács Lajos nyugalmazott rendőr ezredes az elmúlt fél évszázadban minden nagy horderejű élet elleni bűncselekmény nyomozásában részt vett. Első komoly ügye a Hungária körúti OTP-fiókban elkövetett kettős gyilkosság (1977) volt, majd sorra következtek a nagy port kavart bűnesetek: Farkas Helga elrablása, a Magda Marinko és a Bene László-Donászi Aladár páros által elkövetett a sorozatgyilkosságok, a körmendi gyerekgyilkosság (Tánczos Gábor), a Fenyő-gyilkosság, a Pándy András-ügy vagy Szlávy Bulcsú eltűnése. A könyv gerincét a valaha volt legkegyetlenebb, nyolc halálos áldozatot követelő móri bankrablás nyomozásának a legapróbb részletekig menő leírása adja. Végigkövethetjük a nyomozó szemszögéből a felderítés folyamatát, a kihallgatásokat, a közvélemény és a rendőri vezetés részéről érkező nyomás hatására hozott elhamarkodott döntéseket és a végkifejletet.

Choice, Choose, Chosen

Wade – the 1973 Supreme Court case that ruled a woman’s right to abortion was protected by the constitutional right to privacy – is overturned. Fourteen women’s lives intertwine – writers and artists, mothers and daughters, friends and strangers – crossing time and reality, drawn together by abortion, choices, biscuits, and knitting. Their voices need to be heard in a world where a woman’s right to choose is never certain, and where the lines of the argument blur. This is their story.

The Origins of the Corinthian Christ Group


The Origins of the Christ Movement in Corinth: Paul’s Chord of Gods argues that Paul’s language about his god (father, lord Jesus Christ and pneuma) would have been familiar to Corinthian gentiles as a small group of gods – a chord of gods. Worship of Paul’s chord of gods matches the common religious practice (in Theodore Schatzki’s sense) around the ancient Mediterranean and in Corinth and would have been familiar to the Corinthians. This religious practice could have formed the basis of attraction for the Corinthians to join Paul’s Christ group, served as a social engine for its growth among gentiles in Corinth and been a source of conflict with Paul that he tries to address in his letters to the Corinthians.

Charismatic Nations


At the core of nationalism, the nation has always been defined and celebrated as a fundamentally cultural community. This pioneering cultural history shows how artists and intellectuals since the days of Napoleon have celebrated and taken inspiration from an idealized nationality, and how this in turn has informed and influenced social and political nationalism. The book brings together tell-tale examples from across the entire European continent, from Dublin and Barcelona to Istanbul and Helsinki, and from cultural fields that include literature, painting, music, sports, world fairs and cinema as well as intellectual history. Charismatic Nations offers unique insights into how the unobtrusive soft power of nationally-inspired culture interacts with nationalism as a hard-edged political agenda. It demonstrates how, thanks to its pervasive cultural and 'unpolitical' presence, nationalism can shape-shift between romantic insurgency and nativist populism. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
