Nouv.
Londres, 1935. Leon Geats travaille à la brigade des Moeurs
& Night-Clubs de la police de Westminster. Misanthrope et
hargneux, il dirige la racaille de Soho - un quartier peuplé de
prostituées, de jazzmen et de mafieux - selon un code moral
élastique. Lorsque le corps d'une grue est retrouvé au-dessus
d'un club, les détectives de la criminelle ont vite fait de
classer l'affaire, ignorant qu'il s'agit de la première victime
d'une longue série. En collaboration avec un collègue de la
Brigade Volante et une officière de police, Geats se consacre
à la recherche d'un tueur pervers et insaisissable. Une
enquête qui couvrira plusieurs décennies, traversant le Blitz
et l'après-guerre, à la poursuite d'un meurtrier surnommé « le
Brigadier ». -

'It's gripping, addictive, a thrill of a ride. This is crime as it should be written. One of the best, original introductions of a protagonist I've read.' Jo Spain 'I really loved this...a twisting, heart-wrenching story with wonderfully vivid characters' Claire McGowan *** Waking up beside the dead girl, she couldn't remember anything. Who she was. Who had taken her. How to escape. Detective Abigail Boone has been missing for four days when she is finally found, confused and broken. Suffering retrograde amnesia, she is a stranger to her despairing husband and bewildered son. Hopelessly lost in her own life, with no leads on her abduction, Boone's only instinct is to revisit the case she was investigating when she vanished: the baffling disappearance of a young woman, Sarah Still. Defying her family and the police, Boone obsessively follows a deadly trail to the darkest edges of human cruelty. But even if she finds Sarah, will Boone ever be the same again? 'An amazing debut novel ' Anne Bonny Book Reviews 'I highly recommend to anyone but especially to those who like their crime fiction to have genuine depth...loved it.' LizLovesBooks
