In dieser Episode widme ich mich der Rezension von „Tannenstein“, einem packenden Thriller des Autors Linus Geschke, der in den düsteren Ecken eines abgelegenen Ortes nahe der tschechischen Grenze spielt. Die Geschichte beginnt mit dem grausamen Mord an einer Gruppe von elf Menschen, den nur der Gastwirt überlebt. Der sogenannte „Wanderer“ taucht aus dem Nichts auf und tötet ohne Vorwarnung, was die Ereignisse abrupt ins Rollen bringt. Der Protagonist, Alexander Born, ein ehemaliger Polizist und nun von inneren Dämonen geprägter Mann, sucht verzweifelt nach Rache für den Tod seiner Geliebten, die ebenfalls als Opfer des Wanderers gefallen ist. Born, der nach einem dreijährigen Gefängnisaufenthalt wegen Bestechung neu durchstarten möchte, wird von seinem Drang nach Gerechtigkeit und einem inneren Kompass geleitet. Während er sich auf den Weg nach Tannenstein macht, um die dunklen Geheimnisse seiner Vergangenheit und die Identität des Mörders zu ergründen, wird das Bild von einem komplexen Netzwerk aus Verbrechen und Machtspielen der Russen-Mafia sichtbar. Diese Verbindung zieht sich durch die Handlung und verknüpft die Geschichten der Protagonisten mit den brutalen Realitäten ihrer Welt. Die Charaktere in „Tannenstein“ sind facettenreich und oft moralisch ambivalent, was zu einer fesselnden Dynamik führt. Von Borns Ex-Kollegen, der eher unsympathisch wirkt, bis zu Nora, einer Polizistin, die ebenfalls an dem Fall interessiert ist, wird deutlich, dass niemand in dieser Erzählung die rein gute oder rein schlechte Seite verkörpert. Stattdessen zeigt Geschke, dass Menschen sowohl Licht- als auch Schattenseiten besitzen. Diese Komplexität der Charaktere zieht sich durch die gesamte Erzählung und spiegelt die Unvorhersehbarkeit des Lebens wider. In dieser Rezension beleuchte ich sowohl die erzählerischen Klippen als auch die tiefen Abgründe, die Geschkes Schreibstil prägen. Der Autor schafft es, die Grausamkeiten seines Thrillers nicht bloß durch explizite Gewaltdarstellung zu thematisieren, sondern oft nur anzudeuten. Diese subtile Herangehensweise führt dazu, dass die eigene Fantasie lebendig wird und somit die Entstehung von düsteren, abstoßenden Bildern im Kopf des Lesers vorantreibt, die oft schlimmer sind als jede detaillierte Beschreibung es sein könnte. Zudem reflektiere ich, wie Geschke mit der Lebensrealität und den Strukturen der Russen-Mafia spielt und dabei den Lesern Einblicke in die komplexen Verflechtungen und die psychologischen Facetten der Charaktere gewährt. Am Ende der Episode bleibt die Frage offen, wie es mit Alexanders Born und seiner Rachegeschichte im Fortgang der Trilogie weitergeht. Die Vorfreude auf den nächsten Band ist groß, obwohl ich mir insgeheim Sorgen mache, dass die hohe Messlatte der ersten Geschichte schwer zu halten sein könnte. „Tannenstein“ ist ein Buch, das zum Weiterlesen einlädt, und ich kann jedem nur empfehlen, sich auf diese Reise in die Abgründe der menschlichen Natur zu begeben.

If the Western is the godfather of American cinema, then the crime film is its son. With tough guys, shootouts, and explorations of morality, these movies capture the seedy underbelly of a post-war urban world. So, for today's video, I'll be ranking a list of crime films chosen by my producer. Hot takes are bound to happen. - - - Today's Sponsor: Helix Sleep - Go to https://helixsleep.com/klavan to get 27% Off Sitewide + Free Bedding Bundle (Sheet Set and Mattress Protector) with any Luxe or Elite Mattress Order.

In this latest installment of the G&R Arts and Culture series, we look at three films from the seventies that were shaped by America's growing cynicism and distrust of its governing institutions. We look at The Parallax View, Three Days of the Condor and All the President's Men, and discuss the stories and how they effected and were effected by the sociopolitical shifts that were happening at the country in that time. **If you have the means, and want to support scrappy independent media (and get some G&R schwag), become a patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast --------------------Outro- "G&R Blues by MoodyLinks//The Nation: The Life and Death of Conspiracy Cinema (https://bit.ly/4mzfzgv)Follow Green and Red// G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/8evPXV7g)Follow us on Substack (https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com)Follow us on Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreenred.bsky.social)Support the Green and Red Podcast// Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ Our Networks// We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/) This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

Oh, was the sound crappy last week? Well, we've fixed that. New mic! Holy smokes! You're really going to like this. It's so much better. And now that we're done with Newburyport Literary Festival and Independent Bookstore Day, it's all systems go heading into summer, and we've got lots of books to talk about, including:  -  "The Lion Women of Tehran," by Marjan Kamali, who was the star at Newburyport, and who really captured the audience. - "Endling," by Maria Reva, a meta sort of novel set in Ukraine and grappling with the Russian invasion and how to make sense of it.  - "Heartwood," by Amity Gaige, which Hannah started and stopped and ended up finishing, but isn't convinced is really a "thriller." Also, Amity's understanding of Maine seems ... limited. - "The River Has Roots," by Amal El-Mohtar, which is more of a novella, but is really pretty, and a lovely addition to the faerie canon. And it really gets the musical portion of the plot right.  - "The Doorman," by Chris Pavone, which is a little different, not an international spy thriller, and shares some qualities with "Only Murders in the Building," but isn't, like, funny at all. Some twists and turns, though.  Next time, Sam reads some blockbusters and Hannah gets literary. Maybe.

In dieser Episode bespreche ich den Thriller „Waldesgrab“ von Lene Schwarz, der sich als fesselnde Lektüre für Krimifans entpuppt, insbesondere für diejenigen, die die spannende Erzählweise von Nele Neuhaus schätzen. Die Handlung spielt in der malerischen, aber auf brutale Weise verdunkelten Kulisse des Harzes und folgt dem Koch Leon Bosch. Dieser genießt die Abgeschiedenheit seines Gasthauses, bis er im Wald auf eine schreckliche Entdeckung stößt: die Leiche einer Frau mit einem pechschwarzen Quarzstein anstelle ihres Herzens. Im Verlauf des Thrillers werden immer mehr ähnlich zugerichtete Leichen gefunden, was Leon dazu zwingt, in einem Wettlauf gegen die Zeit den Mörder zu finden. Dabei stellt sich heraus, dass die düsteren Ereignisse enge Verbindungen zu seiner eigenen Vergangenheit haben – ein Geheimnis, das er lange Zeit vergraben glaubte. Meine persönliche Rezension bezieht sich darauf, dass dieser Roman für mich eher als Thriller denn als klassischer Kriminalroman gilt, da die psychologische Dramatik und die düstere Atmosphäre tief unter die Haut gehen. Die Figuren sind sorgfältig konstruiert und tragen zur Komplexität der Geschichte bei. Besonders Leon, dessen enge Verbindungen zu den Opfern ihn in einen Strudel aus Verdächtigungen und Ängsten zieht. Auch der Kommissar, der ihn für den Hauptverdächtigen hält, und der Förster, der dem Geschehen eher aus der Ferne zuschaut, fügen der Erzählung zusätzliche Schichten hinzu. Zudem gibt es interessante Nebenfiguren, wie Leons Tochter Thea, die eine entscheidende Rolle in der Handlung spielt, und Jack, der Freund von Marlene, einer weiteren Figur, die Leon sehr am Herzen lag. Die Autorin Lene Schwarz schafft durch ihren packenden Schreibstil eine düstere Atmosphäre, die perfekt zum Setting im Harz passt. Es werden verschiedene Storystränge gekonnt miteinander verwoben, von den mysteriösen Leichen bis hin zu einem alten Felsenkeller, der eine weitere interessante Wendung in der Geschichte birgt. Der Felsenkeller, einst ein Ort des Handels, wurde versiegelt und bleibt im Fokus von Leon und den Ermittlungen. Dabei begegnet Leon immer wieder dem Förster, dessen Ignoranz nicht nur frustrierend, sondern auch zutiefst bedrohlich ist. Die Spannung bleibt bis zur letzten Seite hoch, mit zahlreichen unerwarteten Wendungen und einem Bösewicht, den man nicht sofort auf dem Schirm hat. Das lässt mich beim Lesen immer wieder innehalten und mit einem mulmigen Gefühl an die nächste Seite denken. Lene Schwarz gelingt es, einen fesselnden Thriller zu schreiben, der langfristig im Gedächtnis bleibt. Ich bin gespannt auf weitere Werke dieser talentierten Autorin und empfehle „Waldesgrab“ jedem, der in eine düstere und packende Geschichte eintauchen möchte. Der Roman ist 2019 im Rowohlt Verlag erschienen und nach wie vor erhältlich.

Send us a textIn this episode of Authors Who Lead, I sit down with Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson, the powerhouse writing duo behind the riveting thriller Dark Rising. Both veterans with storied pasts—Brian, a former submarine officer with business acumen, and Jeffrey, a trauma surgeon and Navy veteran—found common ground far from the battlefield: at a thriller writing conference.Their partnership, as Jeffrey jokes, was born of “stalking” at the International Thriller Writers' ThrillerFest, where their shared backgrounds and values—family, faith, and service—formed a natural foundation for creative collaboration. But it wasn't instant coauthoring. As Jeffrey explains, “Once we decided that we were gonna do this thing, we went into it knowing we're either gonna become better friends or destroy this friendship forever. Let's see." Thankfully, the outcome was a deeper bond and a writing team that has delivered years of explosive storytelling.Timestamp:00:00 Teamwork in writing: military ethos05:05 Balancing writing with distractions09:39 Inspiration cycles for writers13:14 Embracing pantser writing surprises14:23 Characters' voices shape the story17:11 Curiosity and predictability in writing21:46 Teaching writing to nonfiction leaders26:19 Embrace imperfection in writing27:52 Antagonist's two-week mission33:01 Balancing passion and obligations36:33 Supporting veterans in new ventures38:49 Principled characters in chaotic times40:43 Honoring unsung heroes through fictionFull show notesCOMMUNITY PROGRAMS

What does it take to reinvent your life in your 40s, face down hundreds of rejections, and still come out on top?In this episode, I speak with Dr. Christina LePort, a former cardiologist turned medical thriller author, about her remarkable journey from the operating room to the written word.Born in Bologna, Italy, Christina once dreaded writing assignments. But everything changed in her mid-40s as she waited to start cardiology training.That's when she discovered the magic of fiction. “I realized that if you're an author, you create the world, you invent the characters you want to meet,” she says.Her debut novel, Change of Heart, is a medical thriller that dives into the dark ethics of heart transplantation. In it, a string of suicides in New York City turns out to be something far more sinister. Victims are dying in ways that preserve their hearts, making them perfect for organ harvesting. Enter detective Kirk Miner and FBI cyber expert Charlotte Bloom, who must untangle a web of medical conspiracy and murder.In our conversation, Christina shares the surprising overlap between medicine and storytelling, from reading people under pressure to navigating life-or-death stakes. She also opens up about the emotional toll of rejection and her hard-won publishing journey. “The therapy for rejection is writing more,” she says, after enduring three years of no's before landing a deal with Bancroft Press.For aspiring authors, Christina offers a candid look behind the scenes: why you need a professional editor (“not your friend—someone who will tear it apart”), how to build your platform, and why writing should always come from joy, not just the pursuit of validation.If you're ready for a high-stakes story rooted in real medical expertise, or you just need inspiration to keep going after rejection, don't miss this episode.

This week, Marisha Lunde, Gare and I set out to talk about psychological thrillers, but veered into all kinds of other topics, including reality TV. The episode may feel a little disjointed at times, because a tornado touched down near my home and I lost power in the middle of the episode as well as a few other times. Otherwise, enjoy meeting Marisha Lunde and hearing about her journey on Bookstagram!  Check out the Bookwild Community on PatreonCheck out the Imposter Hour Podcast with Liz and GregFollow @imbookwild on Instagram

On April 16, 2003, Air Force Colonel Philip Shue was found dead in his car after it veered off a Texas highway and slammed into a tree. But this wasn't an ordinary crash. Shue's body showed signs of brutal mutilation—his chest was mutilated and his finger amputated in an act of twisted, surgical, precision, and duct tape dangled from his wrists.Officially ruled a suicide, the case left behind more questions than answers.In this episode of The Book of the Dead, we dive deep into one of the most baffling and controversial military deaths in modern history. Was Colonel Shue suffering a mental health crisis—or was he killed for financial gain?We explore the forensic inconsistencies, the 3 autopsy reports, and the voices still fighting for justice.Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comFeaturing a promo for Mystery Frequency:Turn your dial to find the frequency of the past.
