Artist Jennifer Silver has traveled to the picturesque, secluded Valley of the Storms in the French Pyrenees to meet with her young cousin Gillian, who is about to enter the Convent of Our Lady of the Storms. She had come to the convent -a brooding cluster of ancient buildings nestled deep in the wild upper reaches of the Pyrenees-to discover that the young woman has died in a dreadful car accident. Or did she? The convent was not like others. There was something strange and frightening about the place... something that gave off an aura of evil, of hidden, violent things... Searching out the truth meant trouble. Lies abound in this strange and frightening place, but seeking the truth could lead Jennifer to one murderer. She did not know, until too late, it also meant... her own violent death.192p..Neat, clean tight copy, slight scuffing to paper cover, else very good. Book

There had been a third, but Annabel Winslow had died four years ago - so when a young woman calling herself Annabel Winslow comes 'home' to Whitescar, Con Winslow and his half-sister Lisa must find out whether she really is who she says she is.Mary Grey has nothing to look forward to except a future as colorless as her name. So if she looks, walks, and smiles so much like the glamorous missing heiress Annabel Winslow, why not be her for a little while? To the lonely young woman--living in a dreary furnished room, faced with an uncertain future--the impersonation offered intriguing possibilities. If Mary looked so much like the missing heiress, why should she not be an heiress? And so plain Mary became the glamorous Annabel. But she did not live happily ever after.

2019brossura Edith Hind, ventenne, figlia di un noto chirurgo, è scomparsa da casa sua lasciando la porta aperta, il passaporto, le chiavi della macchina, il telefono, e una flebile scia di sangue. Manon Bradshaw, trentanove anni - la più tormentata, sfaccettata e irresistibile delle poliziotte in circolazione -, si presenta sulla scena del crimine a mettere insieme gli insoliti dettagli del caso, e capisce subito che c'è qualcosa di strano. Si prepara così a indagare, sapendo che ogni secondo è maledettamente importante. Settantadue ore: tanto dura la speranza in questi casi. Dopo, da una persona scomparsa si passa a cercare una persona morta.
2018br. Axel Steen, l'ispettore più spregiudicato e irriverente del corpo di polizia danese, è tormentato da ricordi che non vogliono lasciarlo in pace. In un'estate particolarmente calda, una denuncia per stupro ha riaperto un vecchio caso di omicidio mai risolto: una ragazza di diciotto anni, strangolata e ripescata in un laghetto di Orstedspark, l'area verde più hot di Copenaghen. Un caso che per Axel è diventato un'ossessione e che, quattro anni prima, gli aveva rovinato il matrimonio ed era quasi costato la vita a sua figlia. Pochi confronti, trascurati nel tempo per incuria della polizia e diffidenza delle vittime, gli bastano per mettere in relazione tra loro diversi episodi di violenza analoghi: il bilancio è di dodici anni di stupri e un assassinio. Potrebbe essere il caso più importante che l'anticrimine abbia mai avuto per le mani. L'indagine lungo i labirinti bui dell'alternativo quartiere di Norrebro, sulle orme di un criminale seriale, diventa per Axel una questione di sopravvivenza. Spinto dal desiderio di riparare qualcosa di sbagliato, si getta in una frenetica caccia al colpevole con la rabbia - e i metodi non necessariamente allineati - che delinquenti e colleghi conoscono bene. Uno sbirro che fuma hashish, con la costante paura di morire, che vuole mettere un punto a quelle orribili storie di abuso e abbandono, sperando di riportare l'ordine. Per le strade e dentro di sé.
2018br. Axel Steen, ispettore della sezione omicidi noto tra colleghi e criminali per la sua durezza e il carattere inquieto, vive a Nørrebro, il quartiere alternativo e multiculturale di Copenaghen, un posto dove artisti e spacciatori sono di casa e l'odore della benzina si mescola al profumo della cannella e del cumino. È da lì che, nel marzo del 2007, parte una delle rivolte di piazza più devastanti della storia moderna della Danimarca. Dopo lo sgombero della storica Ungdomshuset, il centro sociale punto di raccolta per attivisti militanti e autonomi, violenti disordini infiammano l'intera città. Ma la tensione, già insostenibile, è destinata a salire quando nel cimitero di Assistens, il cuore verde di Nørrebro, viene ritrovato il corpo di un uomo: è stato picchiato e ucciso, e tutto fa pensare che la polizia sia coinvolta nell'omicidio. Mentre la stampa soffia sul fuoco, Axel cerca di far luce su un caso dalle mille piste che sembra stare molto a cuore ai servizi segreti e che i suoi capi vogliono coprire. L'agitazione che scuote le strade avvolte dalla nebbia di roghi e lacrimogeni diventa così lo specchio dell'inquietudine di un poliziotto di trentotto anni, divorziato con una figlia, che fuma hashish per combattere l'insonnia e deve fare i conti ogni giorno con la sua folle paura di morire. Un poliziotto che, più di ogni altra cosa, vuole giustizia.
