Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Destitution by Jim Jackal The war is over and Hitler is dead, leaving behind a country that has been totally devastated. There is no organisation in place to provide the basic necessities of food and shelter and the Allies are struggling to cope with the chaotic circumstances.Dieter Barth, a young German officer, is captured by the British and survives the detention camp but is accused of being ex-Gestapo and is taken to Bad Nenndorf, the British interrogation centre. He manages to escape but is recaptured by James Jagger, a captain in the Military Provost Branch who is trying to stop the burgeoning black market in Hamburg. James enlists Dieter's help, promising in return to help him find his missing wife.Arriving from England, Colin Forsyth-Patterson has just left school and joined the Control Commission. He is accompanied by Bill Thornton, a former policeman who is only interested in become wealthy, quickly establishing a network, supported by two American officers, dealing in the black market. When Bill is asked by the Americans to take a large shipment to Lubeck, the psychopathic leader of the largest vice and black market group in Hamburg, Cyrek Rutkowski, establishes that it is stolen gold bullion and sets out to get it. With an infant son, Brigitte has managed to survive the war and now has to survive the peace.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seventeenth century England was a time of plenty for highwaymen, footpads, cut-purses and murderers. Travellers were aware of the need to be ever vigilant as hold-ups were frequent and robbers merciless. Tamar Ellerby, the young daughter of a vicar, had always been rebellious - a tom-boy, preferring swords and pistols from an early age. When her father insisted on an arranged marriage, Tamar decided to leave home, heading for London. In need of money, Tamar successfully robbed a Bishop, enjoying the thrill of the unexpected, quickly supporting herself, using all her skills. She was 'saved' by Cornelius Clarkson, a gambler and a robber who is intent on revenging the man who betrayed him. Tamar becomes convinced that Clarkson is not all he seems to be and plots to benefit from his ill-gotten gains. Can she succeed against such a devious character and avoid the ultimate fate of most of her contemporaries, the hangman's noose 'The Elusive Robber' amply portrays the lives of people in 1680 England where life was cheap, poverty was widespread and a life of crime appealed to many. 'The Elusive Robber' introduces the reader to the real villainy, the real harshness, the real corruption of the times and is aimed at the adult fiction market, appealing to both men and women of all ages. An exciting, fast paced drama with many twists and turns the keeps the reader 'hooked' to the very end.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'Grand Expectations' takes the reader to Europe, focusing on the three years leading up to the outbreak of war in 1914. A group of young people, both German and English, from various backgrounds, sensing great opportunities ahead, embark on their lives during a time of enormous political, economic and social changes. This is the time of huge advances in aeroplane design, motor car performance, a massive uptake with bicycles and improved prosperity. Also, social changes were taking place with the ongoing activities of the Women's Suffragette Movement. Twenty-two year old Lester Leaper is already an accomplished aviator, cycle racer and car enthusiast. With a German mother, he is fluent in German and, being a 1st Lieutenant in the British Army, is soon recruited by Military Intelligence. Visiting Germany annually to see his cousin Jost who works for Krupp, the armaments manufacturer, gives Lester every opportunity to keep up to date with Germany's rearmament programme. Falling for the beautiful Rosina Foerster, the daughter of the head of the German Intelligence Bureau, was not part of his original plans, especially as she was spying on England. Twenty-one year old Beatrice Jardine is the rebellious daughter of the Commandant of Wellington Barracks. Introduced to opium,seduced by regiment officers and falling pregnant, her father locks her up, breaking her opium habit and causing her to miscarriage. After this, she is determined to make something of herself and becomes a trainee nurse as well as joining the Suffragettes, where she quickly takes an active roll in attacks on the establishment. 'Will keep you spellbound to the very end' James Gervois 'The fascinating lives of the characters pulls the reader along, feeling just as excited with the way events are unfolding' Tom Riley.
