Beschreibung

British detective Patrick Dawlish must find two men who can turn the tide of World War II in this breathtaking mystery from the author of Death in Flames.   After solving several sensational cases—and building a stellar reputation—it’s become clear to Intelligence Officer Patrick Dawlish that he doesn’t have to look for trouble for it to find him. Enter Amelia Shortt, the attractive and cunning daughter of a brilliant doctor who’s making strides in helping World War II survivors with shell shock. Amelia thinks she’s convinced Dawlish that someone is blackmailing her father, but Dawlish can’t be manipulated that easily . . .   He decides to play her game, but when she disappears, her father is kidnapped, and a murdered servant is left in their wake, Dawlish soon realizes he’s being drawn into a case with the highest of stakes. One of the doctor’s patients holds national security secrets in his shattered mind—and Dawlish finds himself in a deadly race against England’s enemies to find him . . .

    This recording has been digitally produced by Ava Strong, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. FBI special agent Sofia Blake, with a Ph.D. in linguistics, can decipher any hidden codes, messages, or foreign languages the Bureau sends her way, finding patterns where others cannot and making her indispensable in tracking down the most heinous of serial killers. In Silicon Valley, when a brilliant software engineer is found dead in his office, the crime scene littered with lines of seemingly nonsensical code, Sofia must piece together the patterns to see what the engineers are missing—and stop the killer before he strikes again…
    
    “The plot has many twists and turns, but it is the ending, which I did not see coming at all, that totally defines this book as one of the most riveting that I have read in years.”

    The well-heeled guests — gathered for a controversial grouse hunt in the sweltering summer heat — seem respectable on the surface. 
     
    But, beneath the façade, dark secrets smoulder. It’s only a question of which was worth killing for. 
     
    As temperatures soar, so does the pressure for Donovan and Shan to crack this impossible case. 
     
    Before tensions at the Grange ignite, and the body count rises again . . .

    THE DETECTIVES 
    Detective Leo Donovan is a veteran of the Yorkshire force. A true empath, he’s happily married, but prone to low moods and bouts of arthritis. Compassion motivates him, and a need to see justice done in a flawed world that is seldom fair. Leo’s wayward son drives him to distraction, but working with his partner Shan is a breath of fresh air. 
     
    Detective Shan Young is a rising star of Leo’s team. She lands her first case as detective while pregnant. Not that she’s fazed by it. A salt-of-the-earth Yorkshire lass with Chinese heritage, she often feels caught between two cultures — something which makes her appreciate Leo all the more, as a mentor and a friend. 
     
    THE SETTING 
    Welcome to the Yorkshire Dales, an untamed landscape of fells and valleys, waterfalls and ruined barns, deep, dark caves and windswept limestone pavements. Farming and mining have shaped these remote hills over the centuries. But what secrets lie buried beneath the spectacularly beautiful surface?
