      The Hunting Party is the author’s first crime novel and is described as combining elements of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None (HarperCollins) and The Secret History (Penguin) by Donna Tartt. The novel follows a a tight-knit group of Oxford university alumni as they celebrate New Year’s Eve in the wilderness of the Loch Corrin Estate in Scotland. A HarperFiction spokesperson said: “In these wild, white climes the group reminisce, go deer stalking, and hide friendship-destroying secrets, secrets that set a razor-sharp sequence of events in motion, culminating with a broken body in the snow.”

So auch die junge Nur, die wohlbehütet in einer intellektuellen Familie aufgewachsen ist, fließend Englisch spricht und sich am liebsten an die herrlich trägen Sommer in ihrem Haus am Bosporus erinnert. Inzwischen lebt sie mit Mutter und Großmutter in einer kleinen Wohnung und schlägt sich mit Näharbeiten durch. Eines Tages findet sie einen Waisenjungen und nimmt ihn zu sich. Als er hohes Fieber bekommt, bringt sie ihn in ein englisches Militärkrankenhaus. Einer der Ärzte, George, kümmert sich aufopferungsvoll um das Kind, und sosehr Nur ihn, den Engländer, also einen der feindlichen Besatzer, auch verachtet – nach und nach entspinnen sich zarte Bande zwischen den beiden …
