FINAL NOTICE

She’s serving up mayhem in the Magic City…. 

FINAL STRAW 
Dishing out bad news is Jackie Parker’s job until her boss grabs her assets one time too many and she serves him her notice and hopes he chokes on it. There must be a better way for a certified process server to make a living in Miami than working for a lousy lecherous lawyer. Whatever Jackie decides, her number one priority is spending time with her husband, Luke, preferably without his brother Logan—AKA the Dark Prince. 

FINAL WARNING 
Despite Logan’s objections, Luke asks her to join forces in their own property management team, Damaged Goods. Drawing the line between professional and personal lives proves challenging though, especially with Logan serving her an ultimatum—tell Luke the truth about what really happened the night they first met or he will. Sexual harassment is looking better and better. 

FINAL NOTICE 
Fester Gomez is three months behind on his rent for his pricey South Beach condo and Damaged Goods is on the job. Either they convince the tenant to pay up or he’ll face eviction. The simple task turns deadly when the team discovers Gomez missing and a Jane Doe slowly decomposing in his bathtub. Serving a killer up to justice, wrestling family secrets—it’s just another day on the job for Damaged Goods. 
 

Lease on the Beach 

A new lease on life…. 

After a brush with death, Jackie Parker has big plans to lie low for a while. The best laid plans didn’t check in with her stressful job as part of Damaged Goods property management—or her drama queen mother.

When one of their clients is found brutally murdered, and a recently evicted tenant is a suspect, Jackie vows to Luke and Logan that this time she’ll stay out of the fray. After all, she’s not a detective and they have more than enough on their plate. A rogue RV, drug dealers, furies, snakes and monkeys, oh my! 

Plus there’s a rival property management company determined to ruin Damaged Goods, a kidnapping and a sexy animal lover looking to cause trouble in Jackie's already rocky marriage. The Magic City’s sassiest process server is sitting on a powder keg of crazy and the two men in her life are playing with matches. One thing’s for sure, as far as Jackie's concerned this isn’t a day at the beach. 

Cure Or Die 

Certified Process Server Jackie Parker could do a case study in bizarre human behavior. Like the time the Damaged Goods property management team found a man fermenting his own fecal matter to get high. Or the angry downstairs tenant who threatened to spit on her. And that was just one building in the Miami art’s district. 

Returning to the scene of the crime a year later at the request of the landlord, Jackie believes she’s ready for anything. Since the Dark Prince left the team, she and Luke have gone through an amicable divorce and maybe just this one time she can manage to not land face first in something foul. But what they find in the vacated apartment is far worse than on their earlier visit and Jackie’s situation is about to get a whole lot messier. 

Schonungslos beschreiben die Autoren die aktuelle gesellschaftliche Schieflage in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, die umgehendes und zeitgemässes Handeln fordert. Dazu sind Gesetzgeber , Ärzteschaft und Justiz gefragt. In diesem Zusammenhang enthüllt das Schweigen unserer Spitzenpolitiker auf die Offenen Briefe der Verfasser eindringlich, wie verklemmt und borniert die Gewählten iauf die existenziielle Frage humanen Sterbens reagieren.

Ihr Plädoyer für eine verantwortbare Sterbehilfe untermauern die Verfasser der Streitschrift mit anschaulichen Fallbeispielen aus dem Pflegealltag. In Verbindung damit kritisieren sie auch die sinnlose Lebensverlängerung unheilbar Kranker durch die Apparatemedinzin und unzulängliche Palliativmedizin.

Wohl wissend , wie schwierig es für jeden ist, sich auf diesem historisch „veminten“ Gelände zu bewegen und humane Entscheidungen zu treffen, appellieren die Autoren nicht zuletzt an die Intellektuellen, Künstler, Schriftsteller, Wissenschaftler, Mediziner, Journalisten, mutig und aufklärend in die Debatte einzugreifen und den öffentlichen Diskurs mit frischen Geist zu beleben.

Khamis berührendes Buch hat sich während des Produktionsprozesses von einem tagesaktuellen in ein historisches Zeugnis verwandelt. Das Lager wurde im Januar 2016 von der französischen Polizei geräumt: Europa hat das Dschungelcamp verlassen. An der kulturellen Vermittlungskraft des Buches ändert dies nichts.

The Advent Killer is the electrifying debut thriller from British author, Alastair Gunn.

Christmas is coming. One body at a time.

Three weeks before Christmas: Sunday, one a.m. A woman is drowned in her bathtub.

One week later: Sunday, one a.m. A woman is beaten savagely to death, every bone in her body broken.

Another week brings another victim.

As panic spreads across London, DCI Antonia Hawkins, leading her first murder investigation, must stop a cold, careful killer whose twisted motives can only be guessed at, before the next body is found. On Sunday.

When the clock strikes one . . .

A terrifying British debut thriller, The Advent Killer introduces DCI Antonia Hawkins, with the second in the series coming from Penguin in 2014. Fans of Chris Carter and Richard Montanari should be paying attention.
