If Haunting of Hill House had a baby with Stranger Things, Nowhere Land would be the result. Legends are told for centuries of a haunted land not far from Gloucester, Virginia. The local tribes in the past had labelled it a place of demons. Wildlife is hardly seen there, and even insects avoid it. Sound fluctuates; nothing above a whisper one moment, only to come back minutes later. No reason for this weird phenomenon. Those who dare to cross the land never make it out, mysteriously vanishing. Parker Burkett and his sister, Lisa Polivka, inherit the land from their grandfather. They bring in a group of investigators to find if the stories behind the property are true. Parker has plans to turn it into a historical attraction and wants to debunk the ghost tales. He finds the paranormal group gone the next morning, except for a finger still wearing a ring lying in the loft of one of the buildings. It is the only evidence they’d been there. Ben Neilson, who leads the paranormal team, Seekers of Paranormal World, wants to investigate, but first he must convince Parker to let them. He also wants longtime friend and psychic medium Neri Phelan to help his team. Neri left the group a couple of years ago after the death of her younger sister on an investigation. She has a past with the cursed land, and she doesn’t want anything to do with it. Nightmares and an attack from something dark that destroys her spirit guide help her decide that it’s time to break the curse. Will they solve the truth behind the legends? Or will Neri and Parker, along with Ben and his team, join the countless others over the centuries and become sacrifices to Nowhere Land.Ver livro
The "master of . . . cerebral puzzle mysteries" sends his Yorkshire detectives back to college to be taught a lesson in murder (The New York Times). Reginald Hill "raised the classical British mystery to new heights" when he introduced pugnacious Yorkshire Det. Inspector Andrew Dalziel and his partner, the callow Sgt. Peter Pascoe (The New York Times Book Review). Their chafing differences in education, manners, technique, and temperament made them "the most remarkable duo in the annals of crime fiction" (Toronto Star). The Gold Dagger Award–winning series was adapted into a long-running hit show for the BBC. If Alison Girling, former principal of England's Holm Coultram College, died in an avalanche in Austria, why has her skeleton been unearthed on campus? While no love is lost between conservative detective Andrew Dalziel and the entirety of Liberal Arts, his attention to the grim discovery must be paid. But when he and Peter Pascoe scour the ivory tower for answers, they discover that the shady faculty and creepy student body have more to bury than just one corpse. Try two—and counting. As Pascoe is sidelined by an old college flame, Dalziel's suspicions of academia are becoming dire. Because the deeper he digs for secrets, the dirtier they get in this "steadily, edgily amusing . . . dark comedy" (Kirkus Reviews).Ver livro
