Zachary Klein Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

Völlig durchgeknallt ist, wie wir seit dem ersten Buch wissen, der begeisterte Drogen-User Matt Jacob, den sein Erfinder Zachary Klein in den cleanen 90ern auf die Strassen von Boston jagte. Hier, bei seinem zweiten Auftritt, Jenseits von Gut und Böse, gerät er zwischen die Fronten von jüdischen Militanten und weissen Ariern. Das ist alles so unappetitlich (und von Klein sehr engagiert angelegt), dass man Jacobs Griff zur nächsten Phiole gut verstehen kann. In Zeiten hysterischer Gesundheitsapostelei eine notwendige Erinnerung, dass auch Typen wie Himmler fanatische Saubermänner und Nichtraucher waren. Genussfeindlichkeit und Fanatismus gehören zusammen - das haut uns Zachary Klein immer wieder um die Ohren.

He's seen his share of life's darker side as a social worker -- and more than his share of its underside as a private eye in the less-than-blueblood districts of Boston. He watches too much late-night TV, smokes too many cigarettes, and thinks too much for his own good. Sometimes high, often down, but never out, Matt Jacob is a survivor.Maybe that's what draws him to his latest assignment -- penetrating the fiercely private world of an embattled Hasidic Jewish sect. In the midst of a holy celebration, a powerful and beloved rabbi is gunned down by the ringleader of a white supremacist hate group -- who in turn is shot dead by another rabbi. To help attorney and friend Simon Roth defend the volatile Rabbi Yonah Saperstein, Matt agrees to ferret out the first-hand facts in the double slaying.Amid the Hasidim, Matt finds a people with a rage to survive. Among the White Avengers, he finds only rage. Though the battle lines are clearly drawn, Matt's moral compass detects a blurring of the lines between good and evil, right and wrong, justice and vigilantism, as he follows them into the hearts and minds of the warring groups' charismatic leaders.
