Ein dramatisches Katz-und-Maus-Spiel in den malerischen Gassen von Arles. Der fünfte Fall für Capitaine Roger Blanc. November in der Provence: Capitaine Roger Blanc verabredet sich mit seiner heimlichen Geliebten, der Untersuchungsrichterin Aveline Vialaron-Allègre, zu einem Wochenende in Arles. Die beiden haben das römische Amphitheater der Stadt als Treffpunkt ausgemacht. Dort wird Aveline zufällig Zeugin eines kaltblütigen Mordes. Ganz knapp entgeht sie selbst dem Tod - doch der unbekannte Täter raubt ihr eine Tasche mit wichtigen Unterlagen, die sie ihrem Ehemann, dem politisch mächtigen Staatssekretär, unbedingt in Paris präsentieren muss. Blanc und Aveline haben nur zwei Tage Zeit, um den Mörder zu finden und sich die verschwundenen Dokumente zurückzuholen. Niemand darf jedoch wissen, dass sie in Arles sind, niemand darf ihnen offiziell helfen. Nach und nach finden sie heraus, dass der Tote im Amphitheater nicht das erste Opfer einer geheimnisvollen Gruppe ist, zu der sogar Politiker und Polizisten gehören. Als dann auch noch sein Kollege Marius Tonon, den Blanc in einer Entzugsklinik glaubte, bei diesen Verschwörern auftaucht, weiß er endgültig nicht mehr, wer sein Freund ist - und wer sein Feind.

Stanley Kubrick and Me: Thirty Years at His Side , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 714min

This intimate portrait by his former personal assistant and confidante reveals the man behind the legendary filmmaker - for the first time. Stanley Kubrick, the director of a string of timeless movies from Lolita and Dr. Strangelove to A Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Full Metal Jacket, and others, has always been depicted by the media as the Howard Hughes of filmmakers, a weird artist obsessed with his work and privacy to the point of madness. But who was he really? Emilio D'Alessandro lets us see. A former Formula Ford driver who was a minicab chauffeur in London during the Swinging Sixties, he took a job driving a giant phallus through the city that became his introduction to the director. Honest, reliable, and ready to take on any task, Emilio found his way into Kubrick's neurotic, obsessive heart. He became his personal assistant, his right-hand man and confidant, working for him from A Clockwork Orange until Kubrick's death in 1999. Emilio was the silent guy in the room when the script for The Shining was discussed. He still has the coat Jack Nicholson used in the movie. He was an extra on the set of Eyes Wide Shut, Kubrick's last movie. He knew all the actors and producers Kubrick worked with; he observed firsthand Kubrick's working methods, down to the smallest detail. Making no claim of expertise in cinematography, but with plenty of anecdotes, he offers a completely fresh perspective on the artist and a warm, affecting portrait of a generous, kind, caring man who was a perfectionist in work and life. ungekürzt.
