Beschreibung

A string of jewel heists cause chaos in the English countryside for an amateur sleuth in this classic murder mystery by the author of the Department Z series. 
 
Major Patrick Dawlish and his wife, Felicity, have traded London for a large country house in Surrey to enjoy some quiet—and fruit farming. However, that won’t stop Superintendent Trivett of Scotland Yard from asking Dawlish for help with his latest case . . .  
 
A gang of jewel thieves has both the Yard and the Home Office nervous. Trivett’s only lead is one of Dawlish’s neighbors. Sir Brian Alderney and his wife are popular pillars of the community, but the source of their wealth is uncertain. All Dawlish needs to do is get to know his neighbors and keep an eye on them. 
 
But after one wild night, things take a gruesome turn. Suddenly Dawlish has bigger questions to answer like who is the dead man hanging from his window? And who put him there?

    As a reporter, Emma is used to covering Newport's social events. But this time she is appearing on the arm of her fiancé, Derrick Andrews, at a small but exclusive gathering of the New York Yacht Club at Beacon Rock, the Grecian-inspired summer "cottage" of Edwin and Elizabeth Morgan. The members—which include cousin and Yacht Club Commodore John Pierpoint Morgan and widow Lucy Carnegie, the first woman to be admitted to the Club—are there to discuss their strategy for the next America's Cup Challenge, to be held in New York Harbor the following summer. 
     
     
      
    But it's Emma who must come up with a strategy when she discovers a woman's body bobbing against one of the hulls of the boats moored at the base of Beacon Rock. Is it possible she fell from the Newport ferry and was carried by the tide? Or could she have drowned herself or fallen victim to foul play? 
     
     
      
    After the woman is identified as the missing daughter of a yacht designer, the police—with the exception of Emma's friend Detective Jesse Whyte—hastily conclude she is a suicide, perhaps to quiet any scandal for the Morgans, since her body was found floating near their property. But Emma suspects the woman was murdered and begins to sort through a who's who of sportsmen, boat crews, and the Newport elite in search of a stone-cold killer . . .

    Ellie Simons stands to inherit her Uncle Merlin's huge English country house. But on three utterly bizarre conditions. One: she must lose sixty-three pounds (rude!). Two: she must marry the fake fiancé she's been passing off as her true love all weekend. And three: she must catch whoever killed Uncle Merlin in the first place. 
     
     
     
    Her family constantly mock her single status (and her weight!), so Ellie hired a boyfriend for this latest awful family reunion at Merlin's Court. Bentley T. Haskell is devastatingly handsome and so annoying—and he's making this fake engagement very difficult . . .  
     
     
     
    But Bentley and her catty family are the least of Ellie's worries. Uncle Merlin's death looks more than a little bit like murder. Which can only mean one thing. One of her horrid relatives is the killer . . .

    Twelve years. Twelve dead girls. Thirteen will be unlucky for some.The Number One bestselling crime thriller from the award-winning Stuart MacBride. A bloody, brilliant and brutal story of murder, kidnap and revenge. 
    Detective Constable Ash Henderson has a dark secret… 
    Five years ago his daughter, Rebecca, went missing on the eve of her thirteenth birthday. A year later the first card arrived: home-made, with a Polaroid picture stuck to the front – Rebecca, strapped to a chair, gagged and terrified. Every year another card: each one worse than the last. 
    The tabloids call him ‘The Birthday Boy’. He’s been snatching girls for twelve years, always just before their thirteenth birthday, killing them slowly, then torturing their families with his homemade cards. 
    But Ash hasn’t told anyone what really happened to Rebecca – they all think she ran away – because if anyone finds out, he’ll be taken off the investigation. And he’s sacrificed too much to give up before his daughter’s murderer gets what he deserves… 
    In this top Sunday Times bestselling book, the suspense and mystery of the police procedural genre are masterfully woven by the author. The hard-boiled noir elements add a chilling layer to the thrillers, making it a must-read for fiction enthusiasts. 
    For fans of Jd Kirk (A Killer of Influence), Ed James (Where the Bodies Lie), David J. Gatward (Grimm Up North), Tg Reid (The Killing Parade), and J M Dalgliesh (When Death Calls).
