- Abstract
James Hart, with a tough-as-nails exterior and an aching emptiness inside, does not want to go home. Yet when James receives a postcard from his mother, Birdie Mae, informing him of his father's death, he bites the bullet and returns to the rural and stagnant town of Crystal Springs, Florida, a place where dreams are born to die. James is too late for Orville's funeral, but just in time to become ensnared in the deadly repercussions of his younger brother Rabbit's life of petty crime. When Rabbit is double crossed by his cousin in a robbery-turned-murder, James and a local bartender, the unsettling and alluring Marlena Bell, must come up with a plan to save Rabbit's skin. A whirlwind road trip across the desolate Florida panhandle ensues as James tries to stay one step ahead of the vengeful Alligator Mafia and keep his brother alive. With bullets in the air and the ghosts of heartache, betrayal and unspeakable rage haunting him at every turn, James must decide just how much he is willing to risk to protect his family and find a way home.

Captain Bing Marvin horchte auf. In der Diele hinter seiner Zimmertür waren Schritte laut geworden. Marvin griff nach seinem Revolver, der auf dem Tisch lag. Die Schritte verklangen. Jemand war vor der Tür stehen geblieben. Marvins Herz schlug schneller. Wilde Gedanken jagten ihm durch den Kopf. Hatten sie ihn ausfindig gemacht - hier in der unscheinbaren Boomstadt, meilenweit von der nächsten Bahnstation entfernt? Er hob den Colt, hielt ihn im Hüftanschlag. Die Mündung des Laufs zeigte auf das Plakat an der Tür. Eine Blondine im Strapsgürtel posierte dort mit einem Henkelglas Bier. Es war still wie auf einem Totenacker. Die Zeit schien still zu stehen. Nichts rührte sich. In dem Moment, als Marvin die Waffe senkte, gab es einen lauten Knall. Die Tür flog aus den Angeln und krachte zu Boden. Entsetzt starrte Marvin auf die Gestalt in der Wandöffnung.'Der Schwarze Wolf!'Es waren seine letzten Worte.

Eine sanfte Brise streifte Lassiters Gesicht, aber sie brachte ihm keine Erleichterung. Seine innere Anspannung ließ nicht zu, dass er der Hitze des Tages entkam, denn sie war wie ein loderndes Feuer. Seit Stunden schon saß er im Schatten einer Bodega, den Blick unverwandt hinaus in die weite Steppe gerichtet, die sich zu allen Seiten des Örtchens Hawkins ausdehnte. Er hatte dafür gesorgt, dass die Bewohner sich in ihren Häusern verschanzten und erst wieder herauskamen, sobald alles vorbei war. Falls es vorbei sein würde! Die Männer, auf die der Brigade-Agent wartete, waren nicht einfach nur Halunken und Halsabschneider - es waren seelenlose Teufel, deren Gier nach harten Dollars lediglich übertroffen wurde von ihrer Grausamkeit.

- Abstract
Winner of the ITW Thriller Award for Best First NovelFrom a remarkable voice in Southern fiction comes a multigenerational saga of crime, family, and vengeance.Clayton Burroughs comes from a long line of outlaws. For generations, the Burroughs clan has made its home on Bull Mountain in North Georgia, running shine, pot, and meth over six state lines, virtually untouched by the rule of law. To distance himself from his family's criminal empire, Clayton took the job of sheriff in a neighboring community to keep what peace he can. But when a federal agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms shows up at Clayton's office with a plan to shut down the mountain, his hidden agenda will pit brother against brother, test loyalties, and could lead Clayton down a path to self-destruction.In a sweeping narrative spanning decades and told from alternating points of view, the novel brilliantly evokes the atmosphere of the mountain and its inhabitants: forbidding, loyal, gritty, and ruthless. A story of family—the lengths men will go to protect it, honor it, or in some cases destroy it—Bull Mountain is an incredibly assured debut that heralds a major new talent in fiction.“Panowich stamps words on the page as if they've been blasted from the barrel of a shotgun, and as with a shotgun blast, no one is safe from the scattered fragments of history that impale the people of Bull Mountain.”—Wiley Cash, New York Times-bestselling author of This Dark Road to Mercy

- Abstract
Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (1850-1894), a Scottish novelist, poet and essayist, was influential to the likes of Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, and J. M. Barrie. His most famous works include'Treasure Island'and'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde'. Originally intending to study engineering at the University of Edinburgh, Stevenson expended more energy dodging lectures than attending them. He shifted his studies to law, passing the bar but never actually practicing the profession. Instead he began to seek success through writing, beginning with travel novels, exploring Europe and weaving stories from his own experiences.'The Black Arrow'is a tale comparable to his most famous works, the plot swiftly carried by thrilling suspense and narrow escapes. Set during the Middle Ages, Stevenson depicts the harsh conditions of life at that time, as well as the horrors of civil war, dealing in particular with the fifteenth-century War of the Roses.
