Download or read book Dine and Die on the Danube Express written by Peter King and published by Overamstel Uitgevers. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a voyage from another era, the detective encounters a thoroughly modern murder The Danube Express was once the most famous train on the continent. Linking east and west, it was the fastest route from the Alps to the Black Sea, until airplanes and automobiles made it obsolete. When a group of savvy investors revived it in the 1970s, it became an Express only in name. A five-star hotel on wheels, it is now a luxurious icon—and it’s celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary. Some of the most glamorous figures in the world have booked passage on this historic trip, and riding among them is London’s gourmet detective, who has come to sample the Danube’s famous cooking. But when a Hungarian actress disappears from the train, it turns out to be more than a publicity stunt. Soon it is clear that a killer lurks on the Danube Express, and plans on taking it all the way to the end of the line.
Download or read book When the Danube Ran Red written by Zsuzsanna Ozsvath and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-16 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opening with the ominous scene of one young school girl whispering an urgent account of Nazi horror to another over birthday cake, Ozsváth’s extraordinary and chilling memoir tells the story of her childhood in Hungary, living under the threat of the Holocaust. The setting is the summer of 1944 in Budapest during the time of the German occupation, when the Jews were confined to ghettos but not transported to Auschwitz in boxcars, as were the Hungarian Jewry living in the countryside. Provided with food and support by their former nanny, Erzsi, Ozsváth’s family stays in a ghetto house where a group of children play theater, tell stories to one another, invent games to pass time, and wait for liberation. In the fall of that year, however, things take a turn for the worse. Rounded up under horrific circumstances, and shot on the banks of the Danube by the thousands, the Jews of Budapest are threatened with immediate destruction. Ozsváth and her family survive because of Erzsi’s courage and humanity. Cheating the watching eyes of the munderers, she brings them food and runs with them from house to house under heavy bombardment in the streets. As a scholar, critic, and translator, Ozsváth has written extensively about Holocaust literature and the Holocaust in Hungary. Now, for the first time, she records her own history in this clear-eyed, moving account. When the Danube Ran Red combines an exceptional grounding in Hungarian history with the pathos of a survivor, and the eloquence of a poet to present a truly singular work.
Download or read book Death on the Danube written by Barbara Lipkin and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-02 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The past is never dead. It's not even past." William Faulkner said it first, but Bella realizes how true that sentiment is while visiting the Belvedere Museum in Vienna and viewing examples of "degenerate art," so-defined by Adolph Hitler back in the 1930's. In fact, reminders of the Nazi era are everywhere in Eastern Europe, and Bella finds that the events of that time are still exerting their influence today. But some of the passengers cruising the Rhine-Main-Danube Rivers on the M/S River Muse will never again need to worry about these things, or anything else. It was meant to be an idyllic cruise on the Danube, filled with castles and romance. But first the omelet maker disappeared, and then a body was found in the refrigerator, and Bella Sarver and her new husband, Art Halperin, were suddenly up to their necks in murder - again. Past history and drama play havoc with the present in this newest adventure of artist-turned-amateur sleuth Bella Sarver.

Download or read book Danube Defiance written by Jane Golden and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DANUBE DEFIANCE, by critically appraised novelist JANE GOLDEN, is an enthralling mystery about an art heist involving ancient icon art. Travel with super sleuth, Jeni, as she ventures through the antique markets in New Orleans' French Quarter and across the ocean to Eastern Europe's bustling city of Bucharest and the Romanian countryside. Jeni stumbles upon one clue that leads to others. Something doesn't add up, and she gathers a few friends... an antiquities expert, a journalist, and a dashing New Orleans shopkeeper. Together, they follow a river of clues and dead bodies. But will the thieves get them first? Read to find out! CLARION REVIEW: "Golden's first-hand knowledge of Romania is fascinating." BLUEINK REVIEW: "Nothing makes an overworked genre like mystery seem quite so fresh as a story set in an exotic locale. SECRETS IN THE VINES takes this theory to heart, offering up a murder mystery set in the wine country surrounding Romania. It's a winning formula." "Author Jane Golden drew on her own time in Bucharest to set up this tale, and it pays off nicely. Observations about the life of a foreigner trying to make sense of a new culture are spot-on and often funny; thoughts about parking customs and the laconic pace of government reflect an outsider's tendency to compare things to life at home, while also taking us deeper into the atmosphere. The mystery is gripping, but it's the setting that steals the show." The review concludes with this about SECRETS IN THE VINES: It has a "terrific pacing and a plot that ends well." Better yet, the reviewer states that "we're left wanting more of this juicy escapism." KIRKUS REVIEWS: "An engaging mystery that turns the classic expatriate dream on its head." Marian Petrutza, President of the Romanian-American Press Association: "The perfect vacation book.... Colorful, entertaining, and beautifully written."
