Now she's out to put a stop to the masterminds of organized crime.And it’s Tessa's first mission to be involved from the very beginning! Quite stressful but usually absolutely okay, if not now of all times Timo Erhardt, the crush of her sleepless nights, would show interest in her. How can fate throw such lousy timing at her? Actually, Tessa would really like to take a break, but evil never sleeps, as we all know. The scene of the crime in this mission is the port of Hamburg. Here, the customs investigation has uncovered 16 tons of cocaine in the container of a cargo ship. A remarkable catch! But one thing soon becomes clear to Tessa, her band mates and the Mongolian gerbil Hector: the real culprits are not in Hamburg, but in Rotterdam. There a cat-and-mouse game begins, in which the girls have to show what they are made of. With their combined forces, they manage to lure the criminals into a trap so that the Dutch police can arrest them. But mousy Hector discovers that drugs are not the only commodity being smuggled across Europe via Rotterdam: In fact, one of the smugglers is also dealing in exotic animals, animals listed as Endangered Species, so they can't be imported. But be assured, Hector wouldn't be Hector if he didn't do everything he could to save the animals!

March 2018Alle meine Freunde haben wen umgebracht
Stories
by Curtis Dawkins, Hannes Meyer
Curtis Dawkins schreibt aus ungewöhnlicher Perspektive. Den Weg des Schriftstellers hatte er eingeschlagen, in namhaften Magazinen veröffentlicht, geheiratet, drei Kinder bekommen. Dann tötete er auf Crack einen Mann. Jetzt sitzt er lebenslänglich im Knast. Und dort schreibt er Literatur, die taumeln lässt. Zwischen Härte und Schönheit, zwischen Gut und Böse, zwischen Liebe und Hass. Dieses Buch ist die kraftvolle literarische Anverwandlung eines Schicksals, es erzählt von Männern hinter Gittern und ihren Versuchen, etwas von dem zurückzugewinnen, was unwiderruflich verloren ist. Es spricht von Freiheit, Liebe und Familie aus der Sicht derer, die ihr Recht darauf verwirkt haben. Curtis Dawkins findet dafür eine massive Sprache, einen Sound voller Sehnsucht, Humor und Tragik. Alle meine Freunde haben wen umgebracht wird so zu einem neuen und streitbaren Meisterwerk amerikanischen Erzählens.

March 2019Lola
Thriller
by Thomas Wörtche, Sven Koch, Andrea Stumpf, Melissa Scrivner Love
South Central, L.A. Lola Vasquez ist klein, zierlich, unscheinbar, anscheinend eine chica unter vielen in der Latino-Gang The Crenshaw Six. Die Gang versucht, möglichst unauffällig zu agieren, und zu dieser Strategie in einer Mucho-macho-Welt gehört auch, dass Lola nicht sichtbar wird, denn in Wahrheit ist sie die Chefin der Gang, ebenso brillant wie rücksichtslos. Die Karten werden neu gemischt, als sie in einen Krieg zwischen einem etablierten Großdealer, einem expansionswilligen mexikanischen Kartell und einem neuen Großlieferanten gezogen wird. Auch die Polizei und die Staatsanwaltschaft mischen mit – eine Gang wie jede andere. Lolas Achillesferse ist ihre Familie, ihre Crack-Mutter und ihr nicht allzu schlauer Bruder. Als es hart auf hart kommt, muss Lola ein paar Entscheidungen fällen, die alles andere als leichtfallen …
