Das Weihnachtsalibi

Translator Sepp Leeb

Summary

Ashley Smith, Studentin der Kunstgeschichte aus Sacramento, Kalifornien, wollte die Weihnachtstage während ihres Auslandsjahrs in London eigentlich allein verbringen. Erst die kurzfristige Einladung ihrer Kommilitonin Emma Chapman führt sie nach Starvewood Hall, dem Landsitz der Familie in Clevemoor in den Cotswolds. Ashley ist fasziniert von dem festlich geschmückten Herrenhaus, dem Feuer im Kamin, den vielen Gästen, dem guten Essen – und auch von Emmas attraktivem Bruder. Doch gegen Adam ermittelt die örtliche Polizei: Er soll ein Mädchen brutal ermordet haben. Außerdem treibt ein mysteriöser Fremder sein Unwesen in dem Wald zwischen Starvewood Hall und dem örtlichen Pub … Mehr als dreißig Jahre später werden die Ereignisse jener schrecklichen Festtage wieder aufgerollt: Was 1989 in einem kleinen englischen Dorf begann, findet viele Weihnachten später sein grausames Ende in New York.
