Tereza Pavlíková Libri

V Japonsku vznikl tajný byznys. Jeden z manželů si na svého partnera najme agenta skupiny wakaresaseja, který ho svede a získá svému zadavateli příznivé podmínky pro rozvod. Když Sató nařídí agentu Kaitaróovi, aby se zapletl s jeho manželkou Rinou, domnívá se, že všechno půjde jako po másle. Rina netuší, jaké okolnosti je s Kaitaróem svedly dohromady, a postupem času se do sebe vášnivě a zoufale zamilují. O mnoho let později se Rinina dcera Sumiko, kterou matčin osud pronásleduje, rozhodne doplnit prázdná místa v jejím příběhu i ve své paměti. Autorka prozkoumává ožehavé téma psychologických a morálních motivů činů, jež konáme ve jménu lásky, a ptá se, kde končí vášeň a začíná posedlost.

Rooted in Evil by Ann Granger is set in the Cotswold village of Weston Saint Ambrose and features Inspector Jess Campbell and Superintendent Ian Carter in their fifth murder mystery. When the body of a man, with his brains blown out, is found in a Cotswold wood it looks like suicide. But looks can be deceptive and it doesn't take long for the police to identify that there's more to the case than meets the eye. People's stories don't add up and when Superintendent Ian Carter and Inspector Jess Campbell start probing it becomes clear that the dead man had ruffled more than a few feathers in this close-knit community. His stepsister had been bailing him out of his financial troubles - much against her husband's wishes - but, with his money worries still mounting, the victim had become a desperate man... As Jess and Ian dig deeper and deeper into the case, a cover-up is exposed and bitter resentment rises to the surface to reveal a killer.

The fourth murky murder in the Campbell and Carter Mysteries As Christmas approaches in the sleepy English village of Weston Saint Ambrose, the rains bring the wettest winter on record and the farmer’s fields are left under several feet of water. The water washes up all manner of things, including a dead body, dredged up from its watery grave. Snagging on the jetty of Isolde Evans, the reclusive writer is shocked to recognise the victim. And she’s not the only one. When Inspector Jess Campbell investigates, she recognises the body of Courtney Higson, a local barmaid with a doting, ex-con father. Terry is set on finding his daughter’s killer, and Jess must get to the bottom of this quickly, before he takes the law into his own hands...
