      Schweigsame Nachbarn. Verschlossene Türen. Tödliche Geheimnisse. Der Spiegel-Bestseller jetzt als Taschenbuch. Ein einsames Haus am Ende einer verwinkelten Seitengasse im Pariser Stadtviertel Montmartre: Pleite und nur mit einem einzigen Koffer in der Hand steht Jess vor der Tür ihres Bruders, der versprochen hat, sie für ein paar Wochen bei sich wohnen zu lassen. Doch sie findet seine Wohnung leer vor – es scheint, als habe er sie überstürzt verlassen. Die Nachbarn machen keinen Hehl daraus, dass Fremde in diesem Haus nicht willkommen sind. Je länger ihr Bruder verschwunden bleibt, desto mehr fühlt Jess sich beobachtet in dem alten Gebäude mit seinen geheimen Durchgängen und vielen verschlossenen Türen. Immer unerbittlicher wächst in ihr der Verdacht, dass dieser Ort ein schreckliches Geheimnis verbirgt. Und auch unter den Nachbarn suchen sich lang begrabene Feindseligkeiten ihren gefährlichen Weg ans Licht. Dann macht Jess eine unfassbare Entdeckung. Und die Situation im Haus eskaliert … Nach ihren sensationellen Erfolgen »Neuschnee« und »Sommernacht« garantiert Bestsellerautorin Lucy Foley wieder atemlose Spannung. Noch mehr atemlos Spannung von Bestsellerautorin Lucy Foley: Neuschnee Sommernacht Mittsommer

      На острові біля узбережжя Ірландії збираються гості, щоб відгуляти весілля. Наречений — привабливий і харизматичний, зірка популярного телешоу. Наречена — розумна й амбіційна, власниця успішного бізнесу. Вишукане свято продумане до найменших деталей і аж проситься на сторінки глянцевого журналу: дизайнерська сукня, екзотичні краєвиди, гігантське шатро, крафтове віскі… Але поки відкорковують шампанське і вечірка набирає обертів, раз за разом спливають давні ревнощі й обрáзи. Дружби влаштовують дикі ігрища, дружка ледь не зриває святкування, а найліпший друг нареченого виголошує незручний тост… А потім декого знаходять мертвим. Хто ж не побажав щастя молодій парі? І, що важливіше, чому?
