Bücher von Patrick Taylor

Patrick Taylor, breaking onto the scene for the first time, brings a page turner that moves with such speed you will wonder where the pages went as he winds you through the streets tamed by code.Who's his friend; who's his foe? Where murder is always an option and money is always the motive, Tay tries desperately to balance loyalty, family, the drug game, building an empire, and the two loves of his life--all while trying to get it in and get out before getting locked into a game where everyone has a hidden past or a secret. Nobody is who they say they are, and only a few understand why certain lines, like certain rules, have to be crossed and broken.

Ein irisches Dorf auf dem Land. Geschichten aus einer unbeschwerten Zeit. Perfekte Lektüre für alle, die dem Alltag entfliehen wollen. Endlich ist Barry Laverty fertig mit seinem Medizinstudium.

Und auch an seinen neuen Chef muss Barry sich erst gewöhnen. Dr. O'Reillys oberste Regel: sich niemals von einem Patienten etwas sagen lassen! Statt Schmerztabletten verordnet er lieber Vitaminpillen. Bald lernt Barry auch den Rest des Dorfes kennen: darunter einen simulierenden Bürgermeister, eine unorthodoxe Haushälterin und einen Hund namens Arthur Guinness. Ungeahnte Lektionen warten auf ihn - über das Leben und über die Liebe ... Band 1 der beliebten Reihe in charmanter Neugestaltung - mit hübschen Karten und Rezepten.

Patrick Taylor's Now and in the Hour of Our Death is a moving and compelling portrait of ordinary men and women caught up in a conflict not of their making, and of the way the past holds onto us even as we try to move on into an uncertain future.Nine years ago, the bloody conflict in Northern Ireland tore apart two young lovers, consuming their hopes and dreams and changing their lives forever. Now, in 1983, Davy McCutcheon and Fiona Kavanagh find themselves worlds apart. Davy, once a bomb-maker for the Provisional IRA, is serving a twenty-five-year sentence in a British prison. Having seen enough of death and violence, he wants nothing more to do with the struggle that cost him his freedom and his love. But old loyalties die hard and, despite himself, Davy is drawn into a dangerous conspiracy on behalf of his fellow Provos . . . . Meanwhile, Fiona has forged a new life for herself in Vancouver, British Columbia, far away from the war-torn streets of Belfast. Now a vice-principal at a local elementary school, she has a successful career, good friends, and a new man in her life. Yet she remains haunted by painful memories of her troubled homeland-and the love she left behind.

Only Wounded centers on the hopes and despairs of everyday life during these new Troubles.
