Manfred Baumann
Three decades of celebrity portraiture from an acclaimed master of the genre The celebrity portraits of Austrian photographer Manfred Baumann (born 1968) capture distinct personalities while also framing them as special--larger than life. Through the lens of his Leica, Baumann has photographed countless celebrities of international renown, among them Sandra Bullock, William Shatner, Jack Black, Natalie Portman, Martin Sheen, Lionel Richie, Olivia Newton John, Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Juliette Lewis, Angelina Jolie and Evander Holyfield. Baumann's mostly black-and-white portraits often position the subject outside of the studio and within a scrupulously chosen backdrop--although Baumann calls Vienna and Los Angeles home, he frequently travels to shoot on location. The hardcover survey Face to Facecompiles the best of the photographer's celebrity portraits. Viewed together, they give shape to the storyteller behind the camera and testify to the consistency and richness of his style.
The Disappearance of Adèle Bedeau
By a Booker Prize nominee and an internationally bestselling author: a captivating homage to Georges Simenon, an absorbing character study and a highly original detective story. Manfred Baumann is a loner. Socially awkward and perpetually ill at ease, he spends his evenings quietly drinking and surreptitiously observing Adèle Bedeau, the sullen but alluring waitress at a drab bistro in the unremarkable small French town of Saint-Louis. But one day, she simply vanishes into thin air. When Georges Gorski, a detective haunted by his failure to solve one of his first murder cases, is called in to investigate the girl’s disappearance, Manfred’s repressed world is shaken to its core and he is forced to confront the dark secrets of his past. The Disappearance of Adèle Bedeau is a literary mystery novel that is, at heart, an engrossing psychological portrayal of an outsider pushed to the limit by his own feverish imagination.
Erotic Visions
Today, Manfred Baumann’s work can be seen in well-known glossy magazines and the advertising campaigns of international companies. He knows better than anyone how to make beautiful women look erotic, emphasise their charisma and beauty, and tell us a story while doing so. Every one of his pictures exudes an erotic tension that envelopes the observer in an almost tactile, virtually palpable experience.

Nakkita
Tanja Sorg owns an Opel Nakkita GTC, a chic girls' coupe, tuned at the factory and with its paint job an absolute one-off. Hans Burgmeister, a moderately successful traveling salesman, drives too fast into a densely populated residential area in Porta Westfalica, loses control of his SUV and rams Tanja's beloved Nakky. Two days later he is dead, run over in a field and all the evidence points to Nakky as the murder weapon. This is the beginning of an absurd series of murders in which detective inspector Charlotte Bauer has a lot to gnaw on. Absurd, because you can kill someone with a Nakkita, but you certainly can't run them over, because the coupes of the GTC series with their sports chassis are much too low over the road for that. The victims of the murders, however, have tire marks on their faces, and in the courtyard of Nadja Pfeifer's workshop there are literally piles of damaged cars and wrecks of this type, which after the respective accidents are observed undamaged by witnesses during the murders.
The Accident on the A35
By the Booker Prize nominated, internationally bestselling author of His Bloody Project: a captivating homage to Georges Simenon, an absorbing character study and a highly original detective story. There does not appear to be anything remarkable about the fatal car crash on the A35. But one question dogs Inspector Georges Gorski: where has the victim, an outwardly austere lawyer, been on the night of his death? The troubled Gorski finds himself drawn into a mystery that takes him behind the respectable veneer of the sleepy French backwater of Saint-Louis. Graeme Macrae Burnet returns with a literary mystery that will beguile fans of His Bloody Project and The Disappearance of Adèle Bedeau. Darkly humorous, subtle and sophisticated, The Accident on the A35 burrows deep into the psyches of its characters and explores the forgotten corners of small-town life.
