Ein Robbenfangschiff verlässt den Hafen von Tromsø ganz im Norden Norwegens, sein Ziel: die Eiswüste von Grönland. An Bord nur die Mannschaft und ihr Kapitän – und Mari, eine junge Tierärztin, die im Auftrag der norwegischen Fischereiaufsicht die Expedition überwachen soll. Mari spürt schnell, dass sie als einzige Frau an Deck ein Fremdkörper ist: Es beginnt mit kleinen Schikanen, doch dann erreicht das Schiff die Fanggebiete und Mari wird Zeugin der skrupellosen Tötungsmethoden der Männer. Als sie ankündigt, die Missstände zu melden, schlägt die Ablehnung der Männer in echten Psychoterror um. In der Enge des Schiffs ist Mari zunehmend unerträglichen Anfeindungen und sexuellen Belästigungen ausgesetzt. Als die Mannschaft in grönländisches Fahrwasser vordringt und eine dänische Schiffskontrolle an Bord kommt, wähnt Mari sich endlich in Sicherheit, doch ihre Hoffnung auf Rettung wird jäh zerstört… Tor Even Svanes inszeniert ein Psychoschauspiel von atemberaubender Spannung und kompromissloser Intensität. Ins Westeis ist ein Thriller, eine Horrorgeschichte, ein Abenteuerroman. Es ist eine Erzählung über Macht und Verletzbarkeit. Es führt den Leser in eine Welt, in der die eisige Isolation der Wildnis nicht die einzige Bedrohung ist.

Die Männer des Wikingers und Ben Brightons griffen an. Mit ihren beiden Schiffen hatten sie die Galeone des "Schinders" in die Zange genommen, in jenen tödlichen Griff der Umklammerung, aus der es kein Entkommen mehr gab. Ben Brighton feuerte zuerst. Das Jaulen von Kugeln war zu hören, dann das bestialische Krachen, als der Besanmast getroffen wurde. Wie mit Donnerkeilen fuhr es in ihn hinein. Splitternd und berstend brach er auf halber Höhe auseinander. Eine losgeschossene Rah sauste wie eine Riesensense über das Deck und fegte alles von den Beinen. Mit der Rah wirbelten auch Spieren, Tauwerk und zerfetzte Segel nach unten. Zwei weitere Treffer verwandelten den Besanmast in einen trostlosen Stummel. . .

<b>Immediate embarkation for the United Arab Emirates</b> <br> <br>Gabriel is a young and ambitious designer. After reaping the benefits of successful business deals in Saudi Arabia, he moves to Dubai to kick start a career in photography. <br> <br>There he befriends the patriarch of the Al Firas family, the owner of most shoppings malls in town and whose saga mirrors the exponential growth of the Arabian metropolis. <br> <br>One day, Khalid Al Firas decides to organise a lottery which rewards the winners with a luxury holiday cruise on the Strait of Hormuz. Six people, from France, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, the US, Lebanon and Iran, get the golden ticket. Aboard the “Safineth”, the passengers are informed that a tsunami coming from the Iranian coast is fast heading their way. While the ship weathers the storm, the lucky winners can only witness the destruction of Dubai from the deck. The artificial ‘The World’ island and the Atlantis hotel are soon submerged by the huge wave. The whole world watch flabbergasted and wonder how this natural disaster could ever have occurred. <br> <br>Convinced that such a catastrophe is not a coincidence, Al Firas asks Gabriel to enquire about the passengers’ lives. So, Christophe, Samana, Toni, Sharon, Saeed and Gamzeh are going to reveal their family stories and the reasons which have driven them to Dubai. The account of their existence draws an impressive mosaic of the Middle East plunging the reader in the traditions of this part of the world. Their moving testimonies feature Dubai as a city where feelings and human relations are put to the test and where love inevitably crashes onto its immaculate shores. The novel is a hyperbole that depicts the grandness and decadence of a city built on sand that tries ever so hard to portray a different image of the Arabian world at the expense of losing its soul, identity and integrity. <br> <br> <b>A brilliant psychological novel, between censorship and realism</b> <br> <br>EXTRACT <br> <br>“This is up to me.” <br>“If you say so,” answered cousin Remy, as he dropped me off in front of Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport, Terminal C. <br>I was not entirely sure what I was signing up for. <br>A terrorist group had rampaged through the Saudi capital a short while ago.

A stuntman searches for a colleague whom he thought he killed long ago. Two pirates do battle on an old junk ship in Singapore Harbor. They leap nimbly from deck to rigging, crossing swords like fencing masters. And then one surprises the other, slicing a rope and sending the unfortunate pirate tumbling into the bay. This is how stuntman Angelo Sacchetti dies. Edward Cauthorne was his opponent, a fellow stuntman whose career died along with Sacchetti. He's selling used cars when two thugs approach him. They're emissaries from Sacchetti's godfather, a Mafia don. Sacchetti is alive after all - alive enough to be blackmailing the don - and they firmly request that Cauthorne find him. The search takes Cauthorne back to Singapore, to risk his own life for the sake of the man he thought he'd killed. Review quote. "Ross Thomas is without peer in American suspense." - Los Angeles Times. "What Elmore Leonard does for crime in the streets, Ross Thomas does for crime in the suites." - The Village Voice. "Ross Thomas is that rare phenomenon, a writer of suspense whose novels can be read with pleasure more than once." - Eric Ambler, author of The Mask of Dimitrios. Biographical note. The winner of the inaugural Gumshoe Lifetime Achievement Award, Ross Thomas (1926-1995) was a prolific author whose political thrillers drew praise for their blend of wit and suspense. Born in Oklahoma City, Thomas grew up during the Great Depression, and served in the Philippines during World War II. After the war, he worked as a foreign correspondent, public relations official, and political strategist before publishing his first novel, "The Cold War Swap" (1967), based on his experience working in Bonn, Germany. The novel was a hit, winning Thomas as an Edgar Award for Best First Novel and establishing the characters Mac McCorkle and Mike Padillo. Thomas followed it up with three more novels about McCorkle and Padillo, the last of which was published in 1990. He wrote nearly a book a year for twenty-five years, occasionally under the pen name Oliver Bleeck, and won the Edgar Award for Best Novel with "Briarpatch" (1984). Thomas died of lung cancer in California in 1995, a year after publishing his final novel, "Ah, Treachery!
