Der große Harlem-Roman von Krimipreisträger Richard Price

East Harlem, 2008. Ohne Vorwarnung stürzt ein fünfstöckiges Mietshaus ein, das ganze Viertel versinkt im Chaos. Die Rauchwolke steht dicht über dem Berg aus Schutt, als Rettungsdienste und Medien eintreffen. Als eigentlich keiner mehr mit Überlebenden rechnet, wird Anthony Carter aus den Trümmern geborgen, unversehrt, aber nicht mehr derselbe. Richard Price folgt vier unvergesslichen Charakteren durch die Nachwehen einer urbanen Katastrophe. Ein fesselndes Gesellschaftspanorama voller Spannung und...

A white woman, her hands gashed and bloody, stumbles into an inner-city emergency room and announces that she has just been carjacked by a black man. But then comes the horrifying twist: Her young son was asleep in the back seat, and he has now disappeared into the night.

Third generation Corvettes (1968-1982), commonly known as C3s, are among the most plentiful and affordable Corvettes on the road today. Production spanned 15 years with more than 540,000 examples built, making these the most common of any Corvette body style. Unfortunately, many have fallen into disrepair and are in need of restoration. This book will delve into all of the idiosyncrasies of the C3's engine, drivetrain, body, chassis, and interior to guide both first time and experienced restorers to a successful conclusion of their project.

Kenny Becker just dumped his girlfriend--the reasons are a little complex. Young and newly unemployed, his main assets at the moment are six-pack abs and a healthy libido--he's ready to get out, find a little action, and maybe find himself too. But New York is no place for the lonely, and with one meaningless sexual encounter after another, Kenny begins to wonder if the singles scene is not itself a complete con job, with his heart and his future at stake. Raunchy, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt, this 1978 clubland slice-of-life displays Richard Price in gritty good form.
