Das geschriebene Wort ist eine machtvolle Waffe. Ob in Presseanschreiben, Produktbeschreibungen, Ausschreibungsunterlagen, Mailings oder internen Reporten - die Anlässe, bei denen man gezwungen ist, sich selbst und die eigenen Produkte in schriftlicher Form zu verkaufen sind äußerst vielfältig. Übung macht den Meister heißt es, hilfreich sind aber ganz bestimmt auch Geheimtipps erfahrener Kommunikationsprofis. Folgt man dem psychologischen Ansatz, den Andy Maslen in diesem Buch verfolgt, hat man durch eine Fokussierung auf den Empfänger/Kunden schon fast gewonnen und schafft sich dadurch die Möglichkeit, den Leser in die gewünschte Richtung zu lenken. Dieses Wissen allein nützt einem aber relativ wenig, wenn man nicht weiß, wie man es ansprechend zu Papier bringt. Hier kommt Maslens „Werkzeugkasten für Texter“ ins Spiel: Aus seinem reichen Erfahrungsschatz heraus zeigt er nicht nur die größten inhaltlichen und stilistischen Klippen beim Schreiben auf und erklärt, wie man diese gekonnt umschifft, sondern gibt auch Tipps zur Strukturierung von Texten, zur Gestaltung eines ansprechenden Layouts und zur Bekämpfung von Schreibblockaden. Konkret hilft Ihnen das Buch * schneller und besser zu texten durch Fokus und Prägnanz, * beim Schreiben Spaß zu haben und diesen auch zu vermitteln, * kreative und typographische Techniken für eine erfolgreiche persuasive Kommunikation einzusetzen.

Detective Ford has a cold-blooded killer to catch. But can he escape his own dark secrets? Barely a month since his promotion to Inspector, DI Ford is called in to investigate the murder of a young nurse and her son in a small flat in Salisbury. There are few clues, and no apparent motive, but Ford can sense that there's a serial killer at work. After all, he knows from brutal personal experience how killers cover their tracks... It's been six years since Ford lost his wife in a climbing accident--an accident he caused. He is desperate to keep the truth hidden, especially from his son, Sam. But Ford's new partner, Dr Hannah Fellowes, is a crime scene investigator with a ruthlessly analytical mind, and as they work together to track down the killer, his crippling guilt is compounded by fear of exposure. When instinct leads him towards a high-profile suspect, his superiors' warnings just make him more determined to connect impulse and fact. But can Ford hold it all together--the case, his life--long enough to stop the killer?

A country manor. Two murders. Multiple suspects. Can DI Ford solve the case before his own dark past is exposed? After a dog walker discovers human remains in a badger sett in the idyllic Salisbury countryside, DI Ford is called in to lead the ensuing murder investigation. When a second victim turns up in a nearby pond, Ford is determined to find the connection. Both victims met their fate near the sprawling Alverchalke Estate, ancestral home of a decorated war hero and his family. One was a dogged eco-activist and vocal critic of Lord Baverstock. The other was a petty criminal and poacher, youngest brother of a notorious local crime family. Certain that there's more to this case than trespassing, Ford and Dr Hannah Fellowes race to find the hidden link. But when one victim's family threatens to expose Ford's own dark secret, the ticking clock becomes a time bomb. Still consumed by guilt over his part in his wife's tragic accident and struggling to raise the teenage son he lied to, Ford now finds himself losing control of the investigation. Can he work with Hannah to solve the case while privately fighting off the attempted blackmail? Or have his demons finally caught up with him?
