Para la policia Fiona Griffiths, su primera gran investigacion promete ser una dura iniciacion en el submundo de Cardiff: una joven prostituta y su hija han sido brutalmente asesinadas en un piso. Todo apunta a que la victima debio de topar con el cliente equivocado, pero Fiona esta convencida de que el misterio es mucho mas profundo. De pronto, vuelve a sentir que pertenece al mundo de los muertos, que estos le hablan ... y ese punto debil, que algunos llaman sindrome de Cotard, se convierte en un don que da un giro a esta historia. / At first, the murder scene appears sad, but not unusual: a young woman undone by drugs and prostitution, her six-year-old daughter dead alongside her. But then detectives find a strange piece of evidence in the squalid house: the platinum credit card of a very wealthy steel tycoon.
A hanged man. A stolen painting. An impossible crime. A marine engineer is
found hanged in a locked apartment. Some artwork is stolen, then mysteriously
returned. And a security guard is found dead at the base of a Welsh cliff.
When Fiona Griffiths is tasked to look through a stackload of cold cases, her
bosses don't expect her to find anything of interest. But then she discovers
that an impossible robbery really happened. That the supposed suicide was
anything but. That the dead security guard was almost certainly murdered.
Before long, Fiona is embroiled in what will become the most terrifying case
of her career so far - one that forces her to enter the heart of darkness, and
a journey that will test her mental toughness to its very limits. Praise for

novel this year Mark Edwards
Am 23. August 1893 werden zwei Kinder geboren: Alan ist der Sohn von Sir Adam Montague, Tom der Sohn seines Gärtners. Die Kinder wachsen gemeinsam auf, und es scheint, als könne diese Freundschaft nichts trüben - abgesehen von der Aussicht, dass Alan die Reichtümer seines Vaters, Tom hingegen gar nichts erben wird. Ein tragisches Missverständnis in den Schützengräben des Ersten Weltkriegs verwandelt die tiefe Freundschaft in bittere Rivalität. Eine Rivalität, die sich zukünftig nur um eines dreht: Öl. Und für die beiden Männer gibt es nur ein Ziel, das ihnen wichtiger ist als der Reichtum: Rache.
