Janine ist zarte 6 Jahre alt, als sie das erste Mal von ihrer Stiefmutter als Sexsklavin an einen Pädophilenring, einem organisierten Verbrechen der Reichen und Mächtigen eines gewaltigen, sogenannten "Unterweltimperiums", verkauft wird. Bis zu ihrem vierzehnten Lebensjahr wird sie an Männer mit unterschiedlich ausgeprägten, sexuellen Neigungen vermittelt und auf Orgien herumgereicht wie ein Stück Vieh, das ihre Peiniger ebenso niederträchtig behandeln. Schließlich soll sie ihre letzte Reise antreten.

Meine Mutter war Alkoholikerin. Meine Kindheit? Keine einfache! Vor Jahren schwör ich mir, den Kontakt zu meiner Mutter abzubrechen. Als sie jedoch schwer erkrankte und Hilfe brauchte, reichte ich ihr meine Hand. Nichtwissend, dass die härtesten Tage, Wochen und Monate meines Lebens sein sollten.

Ein ungewöhnlicher Auftrag für die ehrgeizige Journalistin Zoey Hinners: Sie soll ein intimes Interview mit der Geliebten des Pädophilen Jens W. führen, um das Leben des Mannes auf links zu drehen, der jahrelang als netter Nachbar von nebenan galt. Zunächst nur widerwillig erklärt sich Zoey bereit, den Job anzunehmen. Hauptsächlich aus Neugierde trifft sie sich mit Anna, die kürzlich aus der Haft entlassen wurde. Aus dem Treffen zweier unterschiedlicher Charaktere wächst eine Art zarte Freundschaft.

Witzig, spannend, very british: Band 2 der international erfolgreichen Wohlfühlkrimireihe. Ein Einbruch in einem Museum? Eine Leiche und ein verschwundenes Gemälde?

Hailed upon publication as a cogent and hard-hitting critique, The Sociological Imagination took issue with the ascendant schools of sociology in the United States, calling for a humanist sociology connecting the social, personal, and historical dimensions of our lives. The sociological imagination Mills calls for is a sociological vision, a way of looking at the world that can see links between the apparently private problems of the individual and important social issues.

First published in 1956, The Power Elite stands as a contemporary classic of social science and social criticism. C. Wright Mills examines and critiques the organization of power in the United States, calling attention to three firmly interlocked prongs of power: the military, corporate, and political elite. The Power Elite can be enjoyed as a good account of what was taking place in America at the time it was written, but its underlying question of whether America is as democratic in practice as it is in theory continues to matter very much today.
