Sinossi

Published in 1917, King Coal is a fictionalized account of the coal mining industry in the United States. The book explores the dangerous working conditions, low wages, and oppressive practices faced by coal miners during that time. The book is based on the 1913-1914 Colorado coal strikes and written just after the Ludlow massacre.

Upton Sinclair (1878-1968) was an American writer and social reformer who gained prominence in the early 20th century. He is best known for his novel "The Jungle," which exposed the harsh conditions and exploitation of workers in the meatpacking industry. However, Upton Sinclair also wrote extensively on various other social and political issues.

    When schoolgirl Janey Macklin disappeared from the seedy side of London in 1988, her case went cold, with no body and no witnesses. Now, thirty years later, private detective Kate Marshall has been approached by a true crime podcast producer with an intriguing question they need her help answering: What if Janey was killed by Peter Conway, the notorious Nine Elms Cannibal? 
    The contract would be the most lucrative of Kate’s career, but it comes with a price of its own, dredging up a sordid, complicated past that she would sooner forget . . . one that the paparazzi are determined to keep in the headlines. 
    As Kate and her partner, Tristan, scour King’s Cross for clues, no two leads seem to point in the same direction. The last person to see Janey alive has already been tried, convicted, and then acquitted of her murder, Peter Conway is in poor health and fading fast, and the line between their clients and their suspects is blurring with each new revelation about the case. 
    With little to work from, can Tristan and Kate wade through clandestine phone calls, decades-old secrets, and deteriorating DNA evidence to solve Janey’s murder, or will she remain one of London’s countless missing persons, forever lost to time? 
    A brilliantly gripping thriller from the global multi-million-copy bestselling author, The Lost Victim will have you hooked from the first page and holding your breath all the way to the heart-stopping ending. 
    Can be enjoyed as a standalone listen. 
    ‘Gripping, suspenseful, and twisty. Proves yet again that you simply can't go wrong with a Robert Bryndza book! He is one author I never need to read the synopsis - I just grab it!’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kelly Y, Netgalley Reviewer
