IM FADENKREUZ – der spannende 2. Teil der BLACKSHAW-Serie
In seinem kalten Versteck in einem New Yorker Keller erh?lt Ben Blackshaw von einem fr?heren Vorgesetzten einen codierten Notruf. Die anschlie?ende Jagd nach einem mysteri?sen Scharfsch?tzen f?hrt Blackshaw einmal um die ganze Welt, von den chilenischen W?sten bis hin zu den eisigen Ein?den Kanadas. Blackshaw ?berlebt den Absturz mit einer Drohne, ger?t in Los Angeles ins Visier des Scharfsch?tzen, und zusammen mit seinem alten Freund Knocker Ellis Hogan versucht er, den Todessch?tzen in eine Falle zu locken. Aber dieser ist ihnen wie ein Geist immer eine Nasenl?nge voraus.
Es dauert nicht lange, bis Blackshaw Verbindungen zu einer weitaus gr??eren und gef?hrlicheren Verschw?rung aufdeckt, die nicht weniger als einen profitablen Krieg in S?dafrika plant. Doch es gibt einen Ort, an dem Blackshaw gegen?ber seinem Widersacher im Vorteil sein k?nnte …

Um den S?chtigen zu heilen, muss man zum Anfang zur?ckkehren…
Dr. Gabor Mat? geh?rt zu den weltweit anerkanntesten Experten der Suchtpsychologie. Seine einschneidenden Erkenntnisse, die er durch seine jahrzehntelange Arbeit als Arzt in der Drogenszene Vancouvers erwarb, ver?ndern unsere Sicht auf menschliche Entwicklung, Trauma und Entwurzelung.
In seinem internationalen Bestseller Im Reich der hungrigen Geister n?hert er sich mit ganzheitlichem und mitf?hlendem Blick der Sucht – sei es nach Alkohol, Heroin, Sex, Tabak oder Gl?cksspiel. Dabei widerspricht er g?ngigen Annahmen, Suchtverhalten sei ein Ph?nomen willensschwacher Menschen oder eine genetische Disposition. Ganz im Gegenteil: Es durchzieht unsere gesamte Gesellschaft und l?sst sich nur als komplexes Zusammenspiel von pers?nlicher Geschichte, emotionaler Entwicklung und neurochemischen Prozessen verstehen.
Auf seine fesselnde Art verwebt Mat? die aktuellsten Erkenntnisse der Neurowissenschaften und umfangreiche Sozialstudien mit authentischen Patientengeschichten und gesellschaftlichen Debatten. Dabei bezieht er klare Positionen, beispielsweise zur Legalisierung von Drogen und zur Entkriminalisierung von S?chtigen.
Mit Mat? lernen wir, dass der erste Schritt zur Heilung in einf?hlsamer Selbsterkenntnis liegt. Seine hungrigen Geister werden unseren Blick auf uns selbst, auf unsere Mitmenschen und auf die Welt f?r immer ver?ndern.
„Ein bewegender, kontroverser und vielschichtiger Blick auf die Hintergr?nde von Suchtverhalten. Im Reich der hungrigen Geister liest sich nicht nur als lebhafte Analyse der k?rperlichen und seelischen Ursachen von Drogensucht, sondern f?hrt auch direkt ins Herz des Autors selbst.“ The Globe and Mail

A story of love and grief. ‘I became a widower and a father on the same day’ says Joseph Luzzi. His book tells how Dante’s ‘The Divine Comedy’ helped him to endure his grief, raise their infant daughter, and rediscover love.When you lose your whole world in a moment, where do you turn? Joseph Luzzi found the answer in Dante’s opening of The Divine Comedy: ‘In the middle of our life’s journey, I found myself in a dark wood.’One cold November morning, Luzzi, a professor and Dante scholar, was told his pregnant wife Katherine had been in a car accident. She did not survive, but their daughter Isabel did, delivered by emergency Caesarean a mere forty-five minutes before her mother died. In one terrible instant, Luzzi found himself both a widower and a father.In the aftermath of an unthinkable tragedy, Luzzi turned to the support of his Italian immigrant family but it wasn’t until he turned to Dante’s epic poem – a poem he had devoted his life to studying and teaching – that he found a way to resurrect his life. Following the same structure as Dante’s epic poem, Luzzi is shepherded out of his own ‘dark wood,’ passing through the grief-stricken Inferno, the Purgatory of healing and learning to be a father to Isabel, and ultimately stepping into the Paradise of rediscovered love.A meditation on the influence of great art and power to give us strength in our darkest moments, ‘In a Dark Wood’ opens the door into the mysteries of Dante’s enduring classic. Beautifully written, poignant and unflinchingly honest, Luzzi’s book is a hybrid of heartrending memoir and meaningful insight into one of the greatest pieces of literature in all history. Drawing us into man’s descent into hell and back, it is Dante’s journey, Luzzi’s and our very own.

Nicola Barker’s readers are primed to expect surprises, but her tenth novel delivers mind-meld on a metaphysical scale. From quiet beginnings in the picturesque English seaside enclave of Pett Level, ‘In The Approaches’ ultimately constructs its own anarchic city-state on the previously undiscovered common ground between G.K. Chesterton and Philip K. Dick. On the one hand, this is an old-fashioned romantic comedy of fused buttocks, shrunken heads and Irish-Aboriginal saints; on the other it’s Barker’s wildest and most haunting book since 2007’s Booker Prize-shortlisted ‘Darkmans’.Following previous celebrations of the enduring allure of the posted letter (’Burley Cross Postbox Theft’) and the pre-lapsarian innocence of pre-Twitter celebrity (Booker-longlisted ‘The Yips’), this concluding instalment of Barker’s subliminally affiliated ‘digital trilogy’ imagines a basis for the internet in Catholic theology. Set in a 1984 which seems almost as distantly located in the past as Orwell’s was in the future, ‘In the Approaches’ offers a captivating glimpse of something more shocking than any dystopia – the possibility of faith.
