Elly Griffiths

    17 augustus 1963

    Deze auteur haalt inspiratie voor haar misdaadromans met Ruth Galloway uit haar man, die een baan in de stad opgaf om archeoloog te worden, en uit haar tante die aan de kust van Norfolk woont en haar nicht vertelde over de mythen en legenden van dat gebied. Haar schrijfstijl kenmerkt zich door een diepe verbinding met het landschap en de geschiedenis ervan. Ze benadrukt archeologische elementen en folklore, waardoor ze een unieke sfeer en diepgang aan haar detectiveplots toevoegt. Haar werken zijn een fascinerende verkenning van het verleden en de invloed ervan op het heden.

      » Von Anfang bis Ende ein Hochgenuss.« Anthony Horowitz Ali Dawson und ihr Team untersuchen mysteriöse Cold Cases. Ihre Ermittlungen unterliegen strengster Geheimhaltung. Denn um die Täter zu finden, reisen sie in der Zeit zurück. Ihr neuster Fall führt sie zu einem ungeklärten Mord im Viktorianischen Zeitalter - mit ungeahnten Konsequenzen für die Gegenwart. Bestsellerautorin Elly Griffiths ist zurück mit einem spektakulären Kriminalroman, in dem die Verbrechen die Zeit überdauern. Kriminalbeamtin Ali Dawson führt alles andere als ein normales Leben. Sie ist gerade fünfzig geworden, allein erziehende Mutter eines erwachsenen Sohnes und Teil einer geheimen Ermittlungseinheit, die in der Zeit zurückreist, um alte Morde aufzuklären. Ihr neuster Fall ist so brisant wie nie zuvor: Im Auftrag des Tory-Ministers Isaac Templeton reist sie ins Viktorianische Zeitalter. Dort soll sie den Namen von Templetons exzentrischem Ur-Ur-Großvater reinwaschen. Der war Gerüchten zufolge Mitglied eines zwielichtigen Männerzirkels. Die Aufnahmebedingung: Der Mord an einer jungen Frau. Während Ali in der Vergangenheit ermittelt und dabei ihr eigenes Leben aufs Spiel setzt, geraten die Ereignisse in der Gegenwart außer Kontrolle. Tory-Minister Isaac Templeton wird ermordet. Und in den Fokus der Ermittlungen gerät ausgerechnet Alis Sohn. »Dieser kühne Thriller wird Ihr Herz im Sturm erobern.« Nicci French »Ein neues Buch von Elly Griffiths ist immer ein Grund zu jubeln, und dieser Serienauftakt wird Ihre Lesegewohnheiten sprengen.« Mick Herron
