--- Zitat von: Horatio am  7.04.2010 | 00:32 ---Kenn "The Wire" leider nicht, aber das Baltimore Chapter gibt es als kostenloses Preview hier :).
--- Ende Zitat ---
Dankeschön. FWIW: The Wire unbedingt anschauen. & FWIW: Für was The Wire-artiges taugt die Dresden Files-Baltimore-Beschreibung IMO eher nicht.

Blechpirat:
Danke. Vor allem auch für das Inhaltsverzeichnis - super.

Aber ob ich kaufen muss, weiß ich immer noch nicht. Wer will den in Berlin spielen?

rollsomedice:
Natürlich musst du ;-)
