Jonathan Goodman - Murder in High Places Headline, 1987 146 str. meki povez stanje: vrlo dobro Fascinating cases of violence and bloody murder amongst the privileged an powerful, collected together by Jonathan Goodman, complete with photgraphs. Jonathan Goodman, crime writer and novelist, was born on January 17, 1931. He died on January 10, 2008, aged 76. He had a self-inflated reputation as a writer of true crime in 1967 with the pretentious and error-laden The Killing of Julia Wallace, in which he claimed to have solved the murder, and he claimed his suspect - Gordon Parry - who was actually dismissed as a suspect immediately after the crime, was the killer of Julia Wallace. Each chapter in The Killing of Julia Wallace was punctuated with an extract from Alice in Wonderland, which added an air of pretentiousness to the book. Goodman, like many other researchers of the time, believed Julia Wallace was in her fifties, when she was in fact 71 years of age and incontinent. The case presented by Goodman in his book on the Wallace murder is now largely dismissed as both inaccurate and implausible by most criminologists.

Kada svetski poznati harvardski simbolog Robert Lengdon bude pozvan u švajcarsko istraživačko postrojenje da analizira tajanstveni simbol - urezan na grudi ubijenog fizičara - on otkriva dokaze nezamislivog: ponovnog oživljavanja drevnog tajnog bratstva iluminata... najmoćnije podzemneorganizacije od nastanka sveta. Sve upućuje na to da se neminovno bliži čas konačnog i zavetnog obračuna ovog vaskrslog bratstva sa Svetom stolicom. Lengdonovi najgori strahovi su potvrđeni na veče konklave, kada glasnik iluminata objavljuje da su sakrili nezaustavljivu tempiranu bombu u samom srcu Vatikana. Dok odbrojavanje traje, Lengdon odleće u Rim sa Vitorijom Vetrom, prelepom i misterioznom italijanskom naučnicom, da bi pomogao Vatikanu u očajničkoj borbi za opstanak. Upuštajući se u frenetičnu poteru kroz zapečaćene kripte, opasne katakombe, napuštene katedrale, pa čak i najtajniji trezor na svetu, Lengdon i Vetra prate 400 godina staru Stazu prosvetljenja, sazdanu od drevnih simbola, koja vijugapreko Rima prema davno zaboravljenoj jazbini iluminata... tajanstvenoj lokaciji gde se možda krije šansa za spas Vatikana.

Njegovo zanimanje za kriptografiju i tajne državne agencije navelo ga je da napiše svoj prvi roman, Digitalna tvrđava, koji je brzo izbio na prvo mesto eBook top-liste. Roman istražuje tanku liniju između građanske privatnosti i nacionalne bezbednosti. Braunov sljedeći roman tehno-triler, Tačka prevare, bavi se sličnim pitanjima morala u politici, nacionalnoj bezbednosti i državnim tajnama. Romani su mu prevedeni na više od 40 jezika. MG 82 (N)
