Inspired by the remarkable life of Dorothy Peto, the Metropolitan Police’s first female superintendent. Has the Ripper returned to the Royal Parks? It’s 1918 and the prospect of peace in Europe is tantalizingly close. However, for Dorothy and the detectives she works with, there is no time to rejoice. The body of a young woman has been discovered in Kensington Gardens, and Scotland Yard fear that after thirty years, Jack the Ripper may have returned to terrorize the streets of London. For Inspector Derwent, this case is personal, distracting him and potentially endangering the investigation. Dorothy tries her best to help and keep him focused, yet she is still reeling from the grief of losing a close friend. When a second young woman is murdered, Dorothy puts herself in danger with devastating consequences, but is the killer really crazed or is there a motive behind their madness?Voir livre
The first in a new crime series with Nordic-noir elements featuring a compelling female detective, for fans of Lisa Jewell and Stieg Larsson, by a two-million-copy digital–bestselling author A deadly pattern: Jenny Flynn, Chelsea Hobbs, Sophie Miller. All three children were snatched from the streets of Lincoln, England years apart. All stolen in the bitter chill of winter. All on their way home from school. Then Sophie Miller is found. She’s not speaking, but she may hold a clue to the whereabouts of the missing girls, if someone can get her to open up. Somewhat reluctantly, Detective Swann calls in his not-quite ex-wife, the perfect woman for the job: Finnish Crime Inspector Elea Baker. No one knows the cases of the Ice Angels better than Elea, and no one is more invested in solving them. Ten years ago, Elea’s daughter Liisa was taken under similar circumstances, from Helsinki, and Elea has never believed her daughter is dead. Alternating between Elea and Liisa’s perspectives, The Ice Angels is a propulsive and twisty thriller of spine-chilling quality, exploring the darkest and most warped of minds. The cold isolation of the English and Finnish landscapes permeates the story, immersing the reader in Elea’s world as she desperately searches for the connection between the missing girls, clinging to the hope she can bring her own home.Voir livre
