This Family Sucks! Sincerely Yours, Peter Frazier

Have you ever thought that maybe you didn’t belong? Have you ever looked around at your family members and thought, there is no way I am related to these people? Both Peter Frazier and Trent Lockley thought this about the families they were born into. Two boys, the same age, miles apart. They are both from small Texas towns, born in the same hospital, on the same day. However, their lives turned out to be nothing alike. The Frazier family is a large, lively bunch. The fact that they are close-knit and share every detail of their lives with each other always seemed a little strange to Peter. Although he loves every one of his six siblings and his overly affectionate parents, he couldn’t help but feel out of place around them. Trent Lockley is an only child born to abusive parents and spent most of his life posing as a punching bag for the town drunks. As he grew into a young man, his anger grew with him. Trent got in a lot of trouble as an adolescent. He would start fights at school frequently, and once he grew up and got even bigger than his drug addict father, he started fights at home. It is the summer of 1996; the Frazier family is preparing for Peter’s High School graduation, and Peter is a little nervous because he has yet to make any plans for his future.

The idea of leaving his family, mainly his baby sister Tallulah behind now scares him.Right before the two strangers turn eighteen, they cross paths. Trent has somehow managed to wiggle his way into the Frazier’s life, and Peter becomes suspicious of this newcomer and starts to question everything about him. The rest of the Frazier family seem to be blinded by Trent’s charm and simply adore him. A dark cloud is hovering over the once perfect household. At every turn, the Frazier family get nothing but devastating news. Peter is not sure what this Trent character is capable of, but since his arrival, everything has gone wrong, so he must have something to do with it. Peter starts to piece the puzzle together but is it too late? Once the truth is discovered, Peter starts to realize that his family doesn’t actually suck as much as he initially thought.

Dexter im Quadrat: Doppelband - Band 1: Die Nackte in Blau; Band 2: Tote leben länger

1. Fall: 'Die Nackte in Blau' Ben Winter und Hannes Strasser, als Schlagerduo Schwiegersöhne Mannheims krachend gescheitert, wittern ihre Chance. Der spektakuläre Kunstraub in der Kunsthalle Mannheim ist der ideale Anlass umzusatteln und als Detektive Mannheims Unterwelt aufzumischen. 'Dexter im Quadrat': klingt vielversprechend und ist es ... leider nicht. Ihr einziges Kapital sind Hannes' dürftige Kenntnisse der englischsprachigen Kriminalliteratur und Bens übersteigertes Selbstvertrauen. Gleich bei ihrem ersten Fall stolpern die beiden nicht nur über ihr eigenes Unvermögen, sondern auch über international gesuchte Kunstdiebe, die mit ihnen Katz und Maus spielen. 2. Fall: 'Tote leben länger' Ein türkischer Unternehmer aus Istanbul, der unter Beobachtung von Frontex steht, wird am Mannheimer Hauptbahnhof von einem LKW überrollt. Von dem fahrerflüchtigen Täter und dem Tatfahrzeug fehlt jede Spur. Gleichzeitig rückt der Detektei 'Dexter im Quadrat' das Finanzamt auf die Pelle und Hannes' Psychotherapie nimmt eine etwas unrühmliche Wendung. Als sich die Detektive eingehender mit dem undurchsichtigen Fall beschäftigen, geraten sie einmal mehr mit der Polizei und der Mafia aneinander und legen sich dabei mit Kriminellen an, die vor keiner Gewalttat zurückschrecken.
