Leuchtender Lavendel und ein totes Schneewittchen in der Provence. Lavendel-Sturm ist der 6. Band der Urlaubskrimi-Reihe Die Lavendel-Morde von Carine Bernard und bietet wieder ganz viel Frankreich-Flair zum Miträtseln. Aufgebahrt wie Schneewittchen, so wird Angeline Cravasse gefunden, im Drogenrausch erstickt in einer geheimnisumwitterten Höhle am Rocher du Rocalinaud. Für die junge Kommissarin Lilou Braque bekommt der Fall besondere Brisanz: Bei der Toten handelt es sich um die Schwester ihrer Kollegin Valerie – und obwohl alles auf einen Unfall hindeutet, sucht Valerie die Schuld bei Angelines Freund Pascale.

Duftender Lavendel, ein Mann ohne Vergangenheit und ein Mord am Mont Ventoux. Im Provence-Krimi Lavendel-Wut löst die junge Kommissarin Lilou Braque ihren 7. Fall: Cosy Crime zum Wohlfühlen mit jeder Menge Südfrankreich-Flair! Der Lavendel blüht, und die örtliche Rennrad-Community von Carpentras ist in Aufruhr: Das berühmte Gipfelschild des Mont Ventoux ist verschwunden!

Lavendel-Duft und ein mörderischer Rosenkrieg: Mit einer Leiche in einem Badesee beginnt der 5. Provence-Krimi um die sympathische junge Kommissarin Lilou Braque.

The year is 1342. The English, led by Edward III, are laying waste to the French countryside. The army may be led by the King, but it is the archers, the common men, who are England's secret weapon. The French know them as Harlequins. Thomas of Hookton is one of these archers. But he is also on a personal mission: To avenge his father's death and retrieve a stolen relic.

An extraordinary and dramatic depiction of the legendary battle of Agincourt from the number one historical novelist Agincourt, fought on October 25th 1415.

When his village is sacked by French raiders, Thomas escapes from his father’s ambition to become a wild youth who delights in the opportunities which war offers - for fighting, for revenge and for friendship. But Thomas is hounded by his conscience. He has made a promise to God to retrieve a relic stolen in the raid from Hookton’s church. The search for the relic leads him into a world where lovers become enemies; enemies become friends; and always, somewhere beyond the horizon, a terrible enemy awaits him.

In mid 17th-century England, the nation was in upheaval. In the Dorset countryside, one sunlit afternoon, a young girl, illicitly bathing in a stream, first fell in love with a passing stranger. Her parents called her Dorcas, but he called her Campion and that's what she longed to be, then and forever. She had one gift left for her by her unknown father - a pendant made of gold, banded by tiny glowing stones and at its base was a seal engraved with an axe and the words: St Matthew.

Farley stands out among his Iñupiat neighbors in the Alaska village he calls home, both white and enormous, like the hungry polar bears that wander its streets. Jovial and a little hapless, he works as an investigator for a North Slope oil company, passing the long Arctic winters drinking whiskey with the village’s preacher and playing in the weekly poker game hosted by its matriarch and mayor. When his young daughter visits from thousands of miles away in Portland—where she lives with her mother, who despises him—a shocking moment of violence leaves her dead and Farley injured.

Bernard Cornwell has been thinking about this subject for years. He has long wanted to write a book about a single battle, the events that lead up to it, the actual days in the battle and the aftermath from multiple viewpoints. Lively historical characters abound on all sides but in Bernard Cornwell's hands the fictional characters, horsemen, archers, nobles, peasants are authentic and vivid, and the hour by hour view of the battle is dramatic and gripping.
