Gemeinsam nehmen die beiden den Kampf auf ...

Die Angst in den Straßen von Brighton. Eine Frauenleiche wird verstümmelt in einem Koffer am Bahnhof von Brighton gefunden. Ein Überwachungsvideo zeigt den Obdachlosen Vincent Underhill dabei, wie er den Koffer in der Bahnhofshalle abstellt. Der Mann wird festgenommen, doch er ist verwirrt, kann keine klare Aussage machen. Kurz darauf wird eine weitere Frau ermordet. Detective Sergeant Minter und seinem Chef Tom Beckett erkennen schnell, dass Underhill unschuldig ist. Und dass sie es mit einem Serientäter zu tun haben, der ebenso grausam wie hochintelligent ist. Mit einem Täter, der jeden Tag ein neues Opfer fordert.

A groundbreaking history of early America that shows how Boston built and sustained an independent city-state in New England before being folded into the United States In the vaunted annals of America’s founding, Boston has long been held up as an exemplary “city upon a hill” and the “cradle of liberty” for an independent United States. Wresting this revered metropolis from these misleading, tired clichés, The City-State of Boston highlights Boston’s overlooked past as an autonomous city-state, and in doing so, offers a pathbreaking and brilliant new history of early America. Following Boston’s development over three centuries, Mark Peterson discusses how this self-governing Atlantic trading center began as a refuge from Britain’s Stuart monarchs and how—through its bargain with the slave trade and ratification of the Constitution—it would tragically lose integrity and autonomy as it became incorporated into the greater United States. The City-State of Boston peels away layers of myth to offer a startlingly fresh understanding of this iconic urban center.

Focusing on the evolution of American democracy, this trilogy delves into the political turmoil of the past decade, portraying the nation as it grapples with a cold civil war. The first volume chronicles the rise of Donald Trump and the 2016 election, while the second addresses the divisive atmosphere post-election, highlighting issues like white nationalism and autocracy. The final book shifts perspectives to the voters, showcasing their activism during events like the January 6 Capitol attack. Through striking imagery, the author captures the chaotic essence of contemporary political culture.

Through a critical examination of rhetoric surrounding immigration and Muslim bans, the book explores the intersections of nationalism, white supremacy, and ethnostate aspirations in America. Mark Peterson's project, initiated to understand the country's divisive climate post-2016 election, features confrontational subjects like anti-Muslim rallies and white nationalist protests. The work presents a disturbing portrayal of the normalization of these ideologies, highlighting the urgent need to confront and acknowledge the underlying terror within American society.
