Beschreibung

What does a woman do when her husband's charged with the frenzied murder of her father and her best friend? She calls in Stella Blómkvist to to investigate – however unwelcome the truth could turn out to be.  'Stella is a force of nature' – Mark Sanderson, The Times
Smart, ruthless and with a flexible moral code all of her own, razor-tongued lawyer Stella Blómkvist is also dealing with a desperate deathbed request to track down a young woman who vanished a decade ago.
It looks like a dead end, but she agrees to pick up the stone-cold trail – and she never gives up, even if the police did a long time ago.  '...a perfect example of Icelandic crime fiction at its best—atmospheric, relevant, and undeniably entertaining.' – BOLO Books
Then there's the mystery behind the arm that emerges from an ice cap, with a mysterious ruby ring on one frozen finger? How does this connect to another unexplained disappearance, and why were the police at the time so keen to write it off as a tragic accident?
Brutal present-day crimes have their roots in the past that some people would prefer to stay forgotten. As Stella pieces together the fragments, is she getting too close to the truth and making herself a target for ruthless men determined to conceal secret sins?  'If you are a fan of Nordic crime fiction, then this title is simply unmissable.' – Tap the Line

    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.

    Chef Charlie Hunter's arrival in the beautiful Chilterns is the fulfillment of a long-held dream: to open her own restaurant in an idyllic countryside location. The Old Forge sits on the village green (complete with duck pond and flint-faced houses) and seems just the place for the high-quality cooking she wants to be known for. 
     
     
     
    But instead of rural peace and a chance to lick her wounds, Charlie finds something ugly stirring under the chocolate box perfection. When a prominent local builder is found dead in suspicious circumstances, Charlie the outsider becomes a suspect. And the only way to clear her name seems to be to find out who the real killer is. 
     
     
     
    Luckily she has allies: her student waitress, a kitchen porter making up in muscles what he lacks in brain and a briskly efficient clairvoyant. Using all the craft Charlie's learned in kitchens—discipline, timing, preparation, and grim determination—she will be as relentless in her quest to bring a murderer to justice as she is in creating the perfect meal.
