Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, Sie glauben, in der Topetage einer Investmentbank wird den ganzen Tag über zielgerichtet, sachorientiert und gewinnfokussiert gearbeitet. Weit gefehlt. Auf Alex trifft keines dieser Attribute zu. Alex ist der Investmentbanker, der die Leser der HD täglich an einer neuen Episode seines Arbeitsalltags teilhaben lässt, wenn er nicht gerade arbeitslos ist. Alex ist faul, dekadent, geldgierig und sich für keine Intrige zu schade. Alex ist das genaue Gegenteil des integeren und erfolgsverwöhnten Londoner Gentleman-Bankers - und wohl gerade deshalb so real. Bei den Lesern der HD jedenfalls ist Alex Kult, einige sind geradezu süchtig nach den kleinen Gemeinheiten, die ihm widerfahren und die er anderen zukommen lässt. Alex entspringt feinstem britischem Humor, der sich auch deshalb so gut entfaltet, weil der Hauptdarsteller in einer von Anglo-Amerikanern dominierten Branche agiert. Für all jene, die bei einer Investmentbank anheuern wollen, ist Alex eine Art Survival Kit. Und für alle anderen zumindest ein Beleg dafür, dass es auch bei einer Sparkasse oder Volksbank schön sein kann. Viel Vergnügen bei der Lektüre.

Hvem kjenner egentlig Alex? Hun er vakker. Sexy. Tøff. Er det derfor hun er blitt kidnappet, innesperret og utsatt for det utenkelig? Overbetjent Camille Verhoeven og hans menn famler i blinde: ingen mistenkte, ingen ledetråd, og håpet svinner fra time til time. Det eneste de vet, er at en kvinne er blitt revet vekk fra fortauet på en gate i Paris og kastet inn i en hvit varebil. Men når politiet finner ut av hvor hun har vært innestengt, er situasjonen langt ifra den de trodde. "Alex" er thrilleren som får det til å gå iskaldt nedover ryggen din. Det handler om morderisk galskap og er drevet av en djevelsk logikk. Du legger den ikke fra deg. "Ja, jeg vet det er en klisjé, men søren heller: Jeg må være så ærlig å si at denne franske kriminalromanen var det svært vanskelig å legge fra seg før den var ferdiglest. (...) Det er en frivol galskap i denne typen krim som gjør en blasert anmelder henrykt og optimistisk: Det går an å fornye krimlitteraturen. (...) Ah, det er godt å få en pause fra nordisk krim, engelske landsbymord og amerikanske superhelter." Lars Helge Nilsen, Bergens Tidende "Mørk, fransk juvel. (...) en perfekt syntese av et enkelt, impresjonistisk språk og en genialt uttenkt intrige. (...) «Alex» er en smart roman, en klok roman. (...) Franske Pierre Lemaitres første krim er nesten nødt til å bli en av 2015s beste." Ola A. Hegdal, Dagens Næringsliv

Juhtumiga satub tegelema kriminaalpolitsei legend, komissar Camille Verhoeven, ehkki väga vastumeelselt — nimelt on mõni aeg tagasi sattunud traagilise lõpuga inimröövi ohvriks komissari enda abikaasa… Pierre Lemaitre'i mitme auhinnaga pärjatud meisterlikus põnevikus ei lange pinge pea hetkekski ning sündmustik teeb ikka ja jälle vägagi ootamatuid pöördeid.
New York Times BestsellerThe remarkable true story of an extraordinary relationship between psychologist Irene M. Pepperberg and Alex, an African Grey parrot who proved scientists and accepted wisdom wrong by demonstrating an astonishing ability to communicate and understand complex ideas. "You be good. I love you," were Alex's final words to his owner, research scientist Irene Pepperberg, before his premature death at age thirty-one on September 6, 2007. An African Grey parrot, Alex had a brain the size of a shelled walnut, yet he could add, sound out words, understand concepts like bigger, smaller, more, fewer, and none, and he disproved the widely accepted idea that birds possess no potential for language or anything remotely comparable to human intelligence.Alex & Me is the incredible story of an amazing, irascible parrot and his best friend who stayed together through thick and thin for thirty years--the astonishing, moving, and unforgettable story of a landmark scientific achievement and a beautiful relationship.
