The gripping international bestseller that fuses an ingenious detective tale with stunning, cinematic storytelling—and a provocative riff on quantum physics—from Germany’s foremost young literary talent. A child is kidnapped but does not know it. One man dies, two physicists fight, and a senior constable falls in love. In the end, everything is different . . . yet exactly the same.” —Prologue A rising star who has garnered some of Europe’s most important literary prizes, Juli Zeh has established herself as the new master of the philosophical thriller. With In Free Fall, she now takes us on a fast-paced ride through deadly rivalry and love’s infinite configurations. Against the backdrop of Germany and Switzerland, two physicists begin a dangerous dance of distrust. Friends since their university days, when they were aspiring Nobel Prize candidates, they now interact in an atmosphere of tension, stoked by Oskar’s belief that Sebastian fell into mediocrity by having a family. When Sebastian’s son, Liam, is apparently kidnapped, their fragile friendship is further tested. Entrusted with uncovering the truth, Detective Superintendent Schilf discerns a web of blackmail, while at the same time the reality of his personal life falls into doubt. Unfolding in a series of razor-sharp scenes, In Free Fall is a riveting novel of ideas from a major new literary voice. With the recent success of works in translation, such as Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire, Zeh is poised to take off. Publishers WeeklyThe theoretical physics concept known as the Many-Worlds Interpretation, in which everything that is at all possible exists somewhere, forms the backdrop for Zeh's second novel (after Eagles and Angels), an engrossing if enigmatic story of a murder and its aftermath. German physicists Oskar and Sebastian are both friends and rivals, who have drifted apart after the latter's marriage. While Sebastian is driving his 10-year-old son to camp, the boy disappears during a stop at a gas station. When a woman phones Sebastian and tells him, Dabbelink must go, he interprets this to mean that to obtain his kidnapped son's freedom, he must get rid of Dabbelink, a bicycling companion of his wife linked to a medical scandal. Erudite digressions and vivid characters—such as a detective with a trusting nature who learns always to assume the opposite of what she was thinking—combine with a devastating 11th-hour reveal to make a memorable intellectual thriller.

Review"[A] masterfully constructed story of an intense friendship between two physicists, a marriage, a kidnapping, and a murder, In Free Fall plunges the reader into a hyperreality that is as seductive as it is disturbing."—Boston Globe "An elegant quasi-thriller about physics, murder, and the solving of murders . . . This is one of the best books of the year. Zeh has enough control to keep the murder from being lurid and the physics from being dull. Her prose is sharp and often witty, and the excellent translation means every moment shines brightly."—*New York Observer "Engrossing . . . vivid characters combine with a devastating 11th-hour reveal to make a memorable intellectual thirller."—Publishers Weekly"A highly cinematic thriller . . . Zeh's smart novel will appeal to a wide range of readers."—Library Journal* "Add a hospital scandal and two of the quirkiest detectives in fiction, mix with Juli Zeh's thrumming, moody prose, and you have one of the finest crime novels you'll read."—Herald SunPraise from Germany:“It is such a delight to watch Juli Zeh play her entire repertoire of literary skill . . . challenging the conventions of the classical detective story with subtle irony.”—Die Zeit** “Juli Zeh uses the structure of the detective novel like a composer uses his music book. And into this book she writes, with remarkable consistency, her musical score . . . Here’s a piece of literature that takes the liberty to develop its very own rules, and to impose them upon an obsolete form, coming indeed very close to a musical work in its tenor and thematic variation . . . One might think that such perfection, such erudition must leave the reader untouched, bored even . . . but it does not. For that, Zeh’s labyrinth is built too clever... Views: 128

A riveting historical narrative of the shocking events
surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and the follow-up to
mega-bestselling author Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln. More than a million readers have thrilled to Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln,
the page-turning work of nonfiction about the shocking assassination
that changed the course of American history. Now the anchor of The O'Reilly Factor;
recounts in gripping detail the brutal murder of John Fitzgerald
Kennedy--and how a sequence of gunshots on a Dallas afternoon not only
killed a beloved president but also sent the nation into the cataclysmic
division of the Vietnam War and its culture-changing aftermath. In
January 1961, as the Cold War escalates, John F. Kennedy struggles to
contain the growth of Communism while he learns the hardships, solitude,
and temptations of what it means to be president of the United States.
Along the way he acquires a number of formidable enemies, among them
Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, and Alan
Dulles, director of the Central Intelligence Agency. In addition,
powerful elements of organized crime have begun to talk about targeting
the president and his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy. In
the midst of a 1963 campaign trip to Texas, Kennedy is gunned down by
an erratic young drifter named Lee Harvey Oswald. The former Marine
Corps sharpshooter escapes the scene, only to be caught and shot dead
while in police custody. The events leading up to the most notorious crime of the twentieth century are almost as shocking as the assassination itself. Killing Kennedy
chronicles both the heroism and deceit of Camelot, bringing history to
life in ways that will profoundly move the reader. This may well be the
most talked about book of the year.
