Laat de duivel rusten

<div> <p>Een jonge vrouw vraagt Daves hulp bij het maken van een documentaire over een beruchte reeks moorden. Kort daarna beginnen de bedreigingen: een pijl in zijn tuin, een kelder vol boobytraps. Het wordt steeds vreemder naarmate hij zich meer verdiept in de tien jaar oude zaak van de Goede Herder. Iedereen weet dat die zaak is opgelost, en niemand zou dat aanvechten... behalve uiteraard Dave Gurney.</p></div><

Peter Pan moet sterven

<div> <p>De man die zijn leven heeft gered vraagt Dave een schokkende moord te analyseren, waarvoor al iemand veroordeeld is. Het brein achter de aanslag op een charismatische politicus zou diens vrouw zijn. Gurney raakt verzeild in een kat-en-muisspel met een corrupte rechercheur, een verontrustend joviale maffiabaas, een jonge verleidster en een schimmige huurmoordenaar, die door zijn jeugdige uiterlijk bekendstaat als Peter Pan. Uiteindelijk blijkt de ware toedracht schokkender dan Dave zich ooit had kunnen voorstellen.</p></div><

Jelle Brandt Corstius

As in tas

Elk voorjaar maakte Jelle Brandt Corstius een fietstocht met zijn vader Hugo: een wonderlijke man die veel begreep van dingen waar de meeste mensen niets van begrepen (palindromen), maar weer weinig van normale dingen (kinderen). Een bestemming was er nooit, maar wel de zekerheid dat het niet langer dan twee dagen zou duren. Anders kregen ze ruzie. Twee maanden na het overlijden van zijn vader stapt Jelle Brandt Corstius weer op de fiets. Met in zijn tas een deel van zijn vaders as, en zonder iemand om ruzie mee te maken, legt Brandt Corstius in zestien dagen 1.620 kilometer af. Hij logeert bij een Maastrichtse dame die eist dat hij het douchewater opvangt om de wc mee door te spoelen (‘alleen grote boodschappen’), wordt door zigeuners bijna van de as beroofd en trekt overmoedig met vijftig kilo aan bagage door de Alpen. As in tas is Jelle Brandt Corstius’ meest persoonlijke boek, geschreven op het moment dat hij zelf net vader is geworden en in de vorm die we van hem kennen: een reisverhaal vol absurditeiten<

Van Bakoe tot Batoemi

<div> <p>In het voorjaar van 2014 worden de Olympische Winterspelen in Sotsji gehouden, aan de voet van de Kaukasus, de machtige bergrug die van de Zwarte naar de Kaspische Zee loopt. Wekenlang zal op Nederland 1 te zien zijn hoe sporters slalommen, bobsleeën en rodelen. Maar wat weten we eigenlijk van deze streek? Wie leven daar precies? Jelle Brandt Corstius is uw gids in dit wonderlijke gebied, waar in elke vallei wel een nieuw volkje woont met een eigen taal en eigenaardigheden. Voor het eerst staan alle reisverhalen van reisjournalist Jelle Brandt Corstius over de Kaukasus in één boek. Hij bezoekt een geheim apenlaboratorium in Abchazië, praat over marihuana met Tsjetsjeense soldaten en slaat een ontvoerde bruid af in Tsjerkessië. In Georgië belandt hij in een oorlog met Rusland en komt hij erachter dat vreugdevuur ook gevaarlijk kan zijn. En in Azerbeidzjan neemt hij een bad in ruwe olie. Het schijnt heilzaam te zijn, je stinkt in ieder geval drie dagen naar benzine. </p></div><

Harry Potter (vi)

<p>…Vào một buổi sáng thứ ba xám xịt âm u, ông bà Dursley thức dậy, chẳng hề cảm thấy chút gì rằng bầu trời đầy mây kia đang báo hiệu những điều lạ lùng bí ẩn sắp xảy ra trên cả nước Anh. Ông Dursley ậm ừ khi chọn cái cà-vạt chán nhất thế giới để đeo vô cổ đi làm. Bà Dursley thì lách chách nói trong lúc vật lộn với cậu quí tử Dudley đang gào khóc vùng vẫy, không chịu ngồi ăn sáng tử tế. Không một ai để ý đến một con cú to và đen thui bay xẹt qua cửa sổ.</p><p>Tám giờ rưỡi, ông Dursley xách cặp, hửi cổ bà Dursley một cái và cố hôn cậu quí tử trước khi đi làm. Nhưng cậu Dudley đang chơi trò đánh trống thổi kèn, phun phèo phèo thức ăn và vung vãi mọi thứ tứ tung, kể cả cái hôn của cha. Ông Dursley vừa cười khoái chí: "Thằng chó con!", vừa đi ra khỏi nhà. Ông lên xe, lái ra khỏi ngôi nhà số 4 của mình.</p><p>Chính ở ngay góc đường, ông nhận thấy dấu hiệu đầu tiên của chuyện lạ: Một con mèo xem bản đồ. Thoạt tiên, ông Dursley không nhận ra đó là chuyện kỳ quái. Thế rồi ông giật mình quay lại nhìn lần nữa. Có một con mèo khoang đứng ở góc đường Privet Drive, nhưng bây giờ chẳng có tấm bản đồ nào cả! Chẳng lẽ chuyện đó là do ông tưởng tượng ra ư? Hay ánh sáng đã làm ông lóa mắt? Ông Dursley chớp chớp mắt rồi chăm chú nhìn con mèo. Nó cũng nhìn lại ông.</p><p>Ông lái xe vòng qua góc đường, đi tiếp, và tiếp tục nhìn con mèo qua kính chiếu hậu. Nó lúc ấy đang đọc bảng tên đường Privet Drive - À không, ngó bảng tên đường chứ, mèo đâu có thể đọc bảng tên đường hay xem bản đồ! Ông Dursley lắc lắc đầu…</p><
