    La prima indagine dell'ispettore Fawley: Dentro il buio
    • Non è ciò che stai osservando, ma da dove lo stai guardando, a determinare cosa vedrai. Dopo la morte del figlio, Adam Fawley, ispettore della polizia di Thames Valley, è cambiato e ora poche cose lo sconvolgono. In una tranquilla strada di Oxford, alcuni operai scoprono una ragazza in stato di shock, prigioniera con il suo bambino di due anni nel seminterrato del professor William Harper. La situazione si complica: Harper è anziano e malato di Alzheimer, rendendo difficile credere alle sue parole e ai suoi ricordi. La scoperta del corpo di Hannah, una donna scomparsa anni prima, aggrava ulteriormente il caso. La famiglia di Hannah, all'apparenza perfetta, aveva suscitato grande scalpore all'epoca della sua scomparsa. Fawley e la sua squadra devono districarsi in un intricato labirinto di verità e menzogne. L'ispettore dovrà affrontare la realtà, che spesso si rivela più complessa di quanto sembri, e riconoscere che la verità può essere visibile solo da una prospettiva diversa. Cara Hunter, nuovo talento della narrativa crime britannica, presenta il primo romanzo della serie con l’ispettore Fawley e il suo team di agenti di polizia instancabili e ambiziosi.

Když se Nick Vincent, producent true crime pořadu Nechvalně proslulí, dozví o novém senzačním úhlu pohledu na mediálně známý a před lety vyřešený případ vraždy osmileté dívky v Oxfordu, neváhá a vyšle do Anglie svého člověka, aby odhalil pravdu. O pouhé dva měsíce později objeví náhodný kolemjdoucí se psem v lese tělo. Jedná se o mladou ženu — svázanou a pohřbenou v mělkém hrobě. Forenzní důkazy odhalí, že mrtvá z lesa je ona léta pohřešovaná dívka, kterou policie dávno prohlásila za mrtvou. Vyšetřování se ujímá inspektor Adam Fawley, který měl původní případ na starost.

Kde byla mrtvá dívka všechny ty roky? Jak se jí podařilo zmizet? A kdo ji teď zabil? Pro Adama Fawleyho se z případu stane osobní záležitost…
