Nutshell
Ian McEwan
**Sunday Times Number One Bestseller** A classic tale of murder and deceit from one of the world's best storytellers - 'a masterpiece' The Times Trudy has betrayed her husband, John.

Amsterdam
Ian McEwan
Alle haben sie dieselbe Frau geliebt, die nun nicht mehr ist: ein Politiker, ein Chefredakteur, ein Komponist. Als desto gegensätzlicher erweisen sich ihre Ambitionen: Ein Freundschaftspakt wird zum Teufelspakt, als es in Amsterdam zum Showdown kommt. Ian McEwan erhielt 1998 den Booker-Preis für diese ebenso witzige wie gnadenlose Geschichte über die Mechanismen der Medien und der Macht.
