The sides are steep, the water's deep, From bank to brae the water's pouring, And the bonnie grey mare she sweats for fear, She stands to hear the water roaring. As he rides along the unexplored green lane beyond the wired-up gate, fifteen-year-old Michael finds a brief respite from the pressures of school and the family horse-dealing business. At the end of the lane he meets Annie, who is destined to bring colour and warmth into his troubled life. Between her home and Michael's lies the Annan Water, a deep and mysterious river. In its dark past, and in the old song about it, there are warnings that their love for each other will end in tragedy. Can it be true?

Skandinavien! Wer denkt da nicht gleich an kleine rote Holzhuschen an einem einsamen See? Ein Sehnsuchtsort fr viele, die hier eine heile Welt und unberhrte Natur suchen. Doch zugleich boomt die Krimi-Literatur aus dem Norden, in der ein ganz anderes, ein dsteres Bild dieser Lnder gezeichnet wird. Es sind die Kontraste, die Skandinavien so reizvoll machen: helle, lichterfllte Sommer und dunkle, kalte Winter ? Licht und Schatten - Idylle und Dsternis. Die in diesem Band versammelten Texte gehen diesen faszinierenden Gegenstzen nach und laden zu einer literarischen Entdeckungsreise ein. Sie erzhlen von den alten Gttern, von Trollen und Seejungfrauen, von Wikingern, Fischern und Groástadtmenschen. Von vergangenen Zeiten und modernen Ideen.

High atop Hathorne Hill, near Boston, sits Danvers State Hospital. Built in 1878 and closed in 1992, this abandoned mental institution is rumored to be the birthplace of the lobotomy. On the eve of the hospital’s demolition, six teens break in to spend the night and film a movie about their experiences. For Derik, it’s an opportunity to win a filmmaking contest and save himself from a future of flipping burgers at his parents’ diner. For the others, it’s a chance to be on TV, or a night with no parents. But what starts as a dare quickly escalates into a nightmare. Behind the crumbling walls, down every dark passageway, and in each deserted room, they will unravel the mysteries of those who once lived there and the spirits who still might. /DIVDIV
