Foreign Rights Guide August 2012 – January 2013 Zoё Beck: THE BROKEN WINDOW Thriller 368 pages 978-3-404-16046-4 Paperback August 2012 You want to know the truth. But what if by knowing it you will never sleep peacefully again? Snow chaos in Scotland. The body of a young woman is found on the lonely Darney estate. The corpse is the widow of the recently deceased Lord Darney. A short time later at a police station in Edinburgh, a woman, calling herself Philippa Murray, claims to know the murderer’s name. Her boyfriend, Sean Butler, mentioned the crime in his notebook. But when the police investigate Sean, they find something quite unexpected. Sean Butler disappeared seven years earlier and in a matter of days will be declared officially dead. So why does Philippa claim that he has something to do with the murder? Philippa is unable to give a reason. For when the police visit her at home, she is not there. She has disappeared without a trace . . . "A dark, cunningly woven psychological mystery. Gripping!" Hörzu on Zoë Beck’s THE OLD CHILD “The perspective is reminiscent of Patricia Highsmith who has an obsessively deep interest in human nature, although not necessarily in the good of human nature (…).” Thomas Wörtche, Deutschlandradio about THE OLD CHILD. Also available: THE OLD CHILD WHEN DEATH COMES EARLY AT THE BREAK OF DAWN “Zoë Beck – a multi-talented author of the crime mystery genre” DIE ZEIT on Zoë Beck Zoё Beck, born in 1975, grew up speaking two languages, and still travels between Great Britain and Germany.

Foreign Rights Guide August 2012 – January 2013 Claus Beling: WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW Crime Novel 320 pages 978-3-404-16747-0 Paperback November 2012 A cosy crime novel with a beautiful but deadly setting WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW is Claus Beling’s first Jersey whodunit featuring the headstrong tea merchant Emily Bloom who will continue to run her own investigations parallel to those of the Police in future cases – and novels. Fear is walking the streets of the normally peaceful Channel Island of Jersey. First, Royal Court judge Willingham discovers a dead woman in the trunk of his cab, and then 55-year-old Emily Bloom, a tea merchant from Saint Aubin, finds the murdered body of her neighbor, Debbie Farrow, in a planting hole next to the road. Harold Conway, the wayward Chef de Police of the Jersey Honorary Police – and, as it happens, also the unloved former brother-in-law of Mrs. Bloom – recognizes immediately the explosive nature of these two cases and, as is his duty, he calls in the Criminal Investigation Department from the island’s capital, Saint Helier. However, the investigations of his rival detective, Jane Waterhouse, do not stop him from continuing to stick his nose in the case. And he is not the only one doing so. Nobody has any idea that the personable Emily Bloom has long decided to be more than just a witness and use all her energy and ingenuity to search for the murderer herself. Because Mrs. Bloom has a gift that nobody knows about, only her best friend: She has a photographic memory. For all fans of Ann Granger and Miss Marple Claus Beling, born 1949, served for almost two decades as the head of the ZDF Entertainment Department where he developed and produced a wide range of movies and television shows including film versions of international bestsellers and the Rosamunde Pilcher- and Inga Lindström series. The profound England connoisseur, who holds a PhD in literary studies, has published several travel books. Bastei Lübbe GmbH & Co.
