ALEXANDRA POTTERMeet the Williamson sisters, Britain's most treasured World War II veterans. Now in their nineties, Josephine and Penny are in demand, popping up at commemorative events all over the country. Despite their age, they're in great form-sprightly and sparky, and always in search of their next excitement. This time it's a trip to Paris to receive the Legion d'honneur, accompanied by their devoted great-nephew, Archie.Keen historian Archie believes his great aunts had minor roles in the Women's Royal Navy and the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry, but that's only half the story. There's a reason sweet Auntie Penny can dispatch a would-be mugger with a brolly. This trip to Paris is not what it seems either. Scandal and crime have quietly trailed the sisters since the war. Now armed with new information about an old adversary, these much decorated (but admittedly ancient) veterans intend to settle scores, avenge lost friends, and pull off one last heist before the curtain comes down on their illustrious careers. A charming, uplifting and cosy mystery about two national treasures hiding official secrets and double lives - perfect for fans of THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB.

Kip Norvald wächst in den späten 80ern in Venice, Florida, bei seiner Oma auf. Kira Hetfield lebt im Trailer ihres Vaters, Leslie Vogler, der androgyne Schwarze in Glamklamotten, bei den jüdischen Adoptiveltern. Nichts in ihrem Leben ist gut und einfach. Was sie zusammenbringt, ist eine neue, unerhörte Musik: Death Metal. Deren reinigende Härte lässt vieles vergessen, Kips psychische Probleme, die Übergriffe von Kiras Vater, Leslies blutiges Gesicht nach einem homophoben Angriff. Die drei wollen nur weg aus diesem toten Winkel Floridas, wo es außer Rentnern, Bullen und Drogenköchen, Sümpfen und Palmen wenig gibt. Und so steigen sie eines Tages ins Auto und verschwinden in Richtung L. A. – Hauptstadt des Metal, des Glamrock, der legendären Clubs, in ein Dasein voller Freiheit und Risiko. Es dauert lange, bis Kip erkennt, dass seine Liebe zu Kira unerfüllt bleiben mag, aber dass sie ohne ihn von der Dunkelheit verschlungen wird. Unter Wölfen ist komplexe Liebesgeschichte, Künstlerroman, Thriller und eine an poetischen Wundern reiche Zeitreise mit gewaltigem Soundtrack.
