Ein kleines Dorf im Taunus gerät in den Fokus von Ermittlungen: Ein Journalist wurde in einem Steinbruch tot aufgefunden. Eine Kneipenprügelei mit Folgen? Oder hat er womöglich zu viele unbequeme Fragen gestellt? Auch im Fall um einen toten Anwalt aus Wiesbaden – gestorben bei der Mensur einer Studentenverbindung: ein Unfall oder steckt doch mehr dahinter? – tun sich Verbindungen ins Dorf auf. Bei ihren Nachforschungen stoßen Sabine Kaufmann und Ralph Angersbach auf ein wahres Wespennest aus alten Seilschaften, illegalen Geschäften und Geschichten, über die kollektives Stillschweigen herrscht.

Some people say 'sconn' while others say 'schown'. He says 'bath' while she says 'bahth'. You say 'potayto'. I say 'potahto'. And - wait a second, no one says 'potahto'. No one's ever said 'potahto'. Have they?

Ben Stokes is not cast in the same mould as the vast majority of English cricketers. Fiery, combative, gladiatorial - he plays the game hard and with great gusto. He is an all-rounder who bats, bowls and fields at full throttle. Some opponents feel threatened by his physical stature and aggressive brand of cricket. Stokes simply doesn't back down, smashing the next ball for six, bowling his 90 mph 'chin music' or taking a breathtakingly full-stretch catch at backward point.

But Arminius - devious, fearless - is burning for revenge of his own.

A major North American hydroelectric dam is blown up and the largest off-shore oil field in this hemisphere is destroyed in a brutal, coordinated terrorist attack. But there was one factor that the terrorists didn't take into account when they struck the Capitana platform off the coast of Colombia—slaughtering much of the crew and blowing up the platform—and that was the Capitana crew chief Dewey Andreas. Dewey, former Army Ranger and Delta, survives the attack, rescuing as many of his men as possible. But the battle has just begun.

For amiable City trader Jimmy Corby money was the new Rock n' Roll. His whole life was a party, adrenalin charged and cocaine fuelled. If he hadn't met Monica he would probably have ended up either dead or in rehab. But Jimmy was as lucky in love as he was at betting on dodgy derivatives, so...

Imagine a world where everyone knows everything about everybody. Where what a person "feels" and "truly believes" is protected under the law, while what is rational, even provable is condemned as heresy. A world where to question ignorance and intolerance is to commit a Crime against Faith. Imagine it. Or just wait until After the Flood.
