Hot Time (eBook, ePUB)
For fans of The Knick, The Alienist, and The Last Days of Night, an entertaining, atmospheric crime thriller set in the Gilded Age. New York, August 1896. A "hot wave" has settled on the city with no end in sight, leaving tempers short and the streets littered with dead horses felled by the heat. In this presidential election year, the gulf between rich and poor has political passions flaring, while anti-immigrant sentiment has turned virulent. At Police Headquarters, the gruff, politically ambitious commissioner Theodore Roosevelt has been struggling to reform his notoriously corrupt department. Meanwhile, the yellow press is ready to pounce on the peccadilloes of the Four Hundred, the city's social elite-the better to sell papers with lurid stories and gossip or perhaps profit from a little blackmail on the side. When the body of Town Topics publisher William d'Alton Mann is found at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, any number of his ink-spattered victims may have a motive. Hot Time is an immensely entertaining, deeply researched, and richly textured historical novel set in a period that reflects our own, with cameos by figures ranging from financier J. P. Morgan to muckraking journalist Jacob Riis. Our guides through New York's torrid, bustling streets are Otto "Rafe" Raphael from the Lower East Side, one of the first Jewish officers in the heavily Irish force, who finds as many enemies within the department as outside it; Minnie Kelly, the department's first female stenographer; Theodore Roosevelt himself; and the plucky orphan Dutch, one of the city's thousands of newsboys, who may have seen too much.- Shop: buecher

A Day At The Beach, 1 Audio-CD
Das mittlerweile fünfte Album der norwegischen Band um Gitarrist Bandleader und Produzent Bjørn Riis. Das Album enthält sechs, thematisch zusammenhängende Songs und nimmt den Hörer mit auf eine Reise durch üppige, teils sanfte Prog-Klanglandschaften und Arrangements, getragen von erhabenen Gitarren und eingängigem Gesang. Die Band setzt wie auch schon beim Vorgänger 'Disconnected' auf viel Atmosphäre, souveräne Melodien und schwebende Arrangements mit leicht melancholischer Grundausrichtung. Neu hingegen sind Referenzen an die 1980er Jahre mit Electronica, New Wave und Movie Score-Anleihen. Airbag, hier erstmals als Trio, hielten dabei ihrem Stamm-Engineer Vegard Sleipnes die Treue, während Asle Tostrup und Bjørn Riis 'A Day At The Beach' produzierten. Als Gast ist Kristian Hultgren (Wobbler) mit an Bord. Ein Album das nicht mehr nur im Fahrwasser von Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd oder Marillion schwimmt, sondern der Band zu mehr eigener Identität verhelfen wird!'A Day At The Beach' wird in vier Konfigurationen beim Stammlabel Karisma Records ercheinen: CD, Digisleeve-CD, LP, Lim. Clear Vinyl-LP!"Auch wenn die Norweger an Pink Floyd und Porcupine Tree erinnern, haben Airbag inzwischen ihren ganz eigenen, unverkennbaren New-Artrock-Sound entwickelt. 'A Day At The Beach' ist wieder mal ein wunderbar atmosphärisches Werk geworden, Meine Empfehlung!" (Empire Magazin)- Shop: odax
