Beschreibung

2021 Nordic Council Literature Prize Finalist
The stories in Purity take the reader through cities and suburbs, apartments and streets, to find characters struggling to survive in modern society: a man has an outburst on a bus; a fugitive finds insight in a colour wheel; a social realist kills his friend with a hammer; a thief finds himself in books. And cleaners reluctantly go on cleaning.
With gravity and humour, against the backdrop of a violent civilization, people are depicted as fallen, or waiting to fall, rendered by Tichý with the fury, compassion and emotional complexity of Kendrick Lamar.
Verfügbar seit: 04.06.2024.
Drucklänge: 208 Seiten.

    A doctor begins to doubt her own sanity as she investigates a patient’s wild claims in this new mystery from the author of Lethal Resuscitation . . . Dr. Cathy Moreland is taken aback when an irate patient comes to her practice claiming his ailing wife has been kidnapped by one of her colleagues using a false name. Is someone impersonating a doctor, or is Adam Steer delusional? After looking into Adam’s claims, she feels reassured that no such thing actually happened—but continues to worry that Steer is mentally unwell. A visit to his home only leads to more alarm. No one answers the door, but Cathy overhears a conversation that convinces her something sinister is going on—and that she herself may be in danger. Cathy’s own bipolar disorder is well-managed, but she’s beginning to doubt her own sanity—and others are, too. As strange developments unfold, will she be able to make any sense of the events around her before everything spirals out of control?

    This recording has been digitally produced by Blake Pierce, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. In the scorched expanse of the Texan desert, victims are uncovered from shallow graves eerily echoing ancient Native American burial traditions. Amongst the parched sands, Texas Ranger Rachel Blackwood finds a tantalizing clue—a series of small turquoise stones inscribed with cryptic symbols. Can she decode whispers from the past to catch the killer before another victim is buried?
    
     “A masterpiece of thriller and mystery.”
