Beschreibung

A quaint English village is home to a murderer in the Macavity Award-wining mystery series debut that launched the British crime drama Midsomer Murders. 
 
Badger’s Drift is the ideal English village, complete with vicar, bumbling local doctor, and kindly spinster. But when the spinster dies suddenly, her best friend kicks up a fuss loud enough to attract the attention of Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby. And when Barnaby and his eager-beaver deputy start poking around, they uncover a swamp of ugly scandals and long-suppressed resentments seething below the picture-postcard prettiness. 
 
In the grand English tradition of the quietly intelligent copper, Barnaby has both an irresistibly dry sense of humor and a keen insight into what makes people tick. The Killings at Badger’s Drift marks Inspector Barnaby’s debut, and offers ample proof that Caroline Graham may indeed be “simply the best detective writer since Agatha Christie” (Sunday Times of London). 
 
“Murder most pleasing . . . a corking good mystery.” —Los Angeles Times

    “You can always be a helper.” 
    Liza Larkin, a socially aberrant pathology resident, relies on these words of her late father to guide her through a world she doesn’t feel a part of. If not for his training over the years and her psychiatrist’s ongoing care, she might be in jail—or worse.  
    So when her colleague, Megan, worries something awful has happened to her aunt, Liza does what she has learned to do. She helps. She drives Megan to Boston to look for the woman. It doesn’t take long. Megan’s aunt lies dead in her condo, in what is soon ruled a freakish accident.  
    But Liza doesn’t buy it. She suspects foul play, and with a formal police investigation now off the table, she’ll hunt for the murderer herself, even if it means coloring outside moral lines yet again. 
    Because justice should always be served.

    A stone by any other name…Can lead to murder.Rosemary Grey, who’s just getting settled into the charming town of Paperwick, Connecticut, is looking forward to the holiday season. She’ll be moving into her snug cottage at Jack and Charlie’s farm—so she’ll have her best friends right next door, and she’s loving her new job as a history professor at Paperwick University, home of the Fighting Trout. The fact that she sees the shy Professor Seth McGuire, from the anthropology department, on campus, might have a little something to do with the smile on her face and the spring in her step.But Rosemary soon discovers that the cozy, tucked-away village, has a longstanding mystery in its midst. Thirty-five years ago, what appeared to be a rune-covered megalithic stone was discovered. There were those who believed the runes scattered across the stone were created by the indigenous peoples who’d inhabited the area—but some believed the runes were Norse in origin, lending credibility to the idea that Vikings had once walked the land.None of the theories about the stone could be proved, however, because it went missing almost as mysteriously as it had appeared. Searches proved fruitless and no one could imagine who could possibly slip away with a two hundred fifty-pound slab of granite. Nevertheless, the legend of Bjørn the Lost Viking was born, along with an annual festival that commemorates the stone, the first snow of the winter, and Norse culture.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text

    Three Victims. Three Days. Every Three Years.  
    Some killers stop. Some disappear. The dangerous ones evolve. 
    Detective Vince Tanaka is ready to leave his NYPD career behind for a fresh start with the FBI and his family in San Diego. But when bodies begin appearing in churches across Manhattan again, Vince is pulled back into the cold case that’s haunted him for three years: The Ritualist. 
    Vince has pursued the most methodical serial killer New York has ever seen - a predator who turns churches into crime scenes and leaves victims bearing the precise cuts of an autopsy. After the first body is discovered, Vince realizes the case is far more complex than anyone suspected. 
    When a priest overhears ancient Latin exorcism rites at the first murder scene, Vince realizes this might be more than just a ritualistic killer. As the investigation takes a shocking personal turn, Vince must race to protect not only the next victim but also those closest to him. 
    In this pulse-pounding debut thriller, Adam Roach crafts a labyrinthine game of cat and mouse where nothing is as it seems, and the most dangerous threat might be the one Vince doesn't see coming. 
    Some demons can't be exorcised. Some nightmares follow you home.
