Harry Bingham Libri

Fiona Griffiths, giovane detective della polizia di Cardiff, qui al suo primo caso, ha l'incredibile capacità di sviluppare un rapporto comunicativo con i defunti: proprio come se riuscisse a parlarci. Duplice omicidio: una giovane donna e la figlia di sei anni sono trovate uccise in un appartamento dei quartieri malfamati di Cardiff, nel Galles. La casa è in condizioni terribili, eppure nell'angolo di una stanza giace la carta di credito di un miliardario scomparso sei mesi prima in un incidente aereo. Del caso viene incaricata l'agente investigativo Fiona Griffiths, da poco arrivata in polizia. Fiona è sicura che la morte di madre e figlia sia solo la punta dell'iceberg di un mistero ben più complesso, e si getta a indagare su quella che si rivelerà poi una terrificante realtà. Ma anche Fiona ha tanti segreti da nascondere, reduce com'è da un pesantissimo esaurimento nervoso; e, mentre lei stessa cerca di dare un senso logico alla bizzarra scena del crimine, è al lettore che spetta ricostruire come in un puzzle le parti mancanti del passato della detective. Perché Fiona è così affascinata dai morti da pensare di poterci parlare?

In the sixth book in the mystery series, a crime from the past puts Fiona Griffiths' own future at stake.

A hanged man. A stolen painting. An impossible crime. A marine engineer is found hanged in a locked apartment. Some artwork is stolen, then mysteriously returned. And a security guard is found dead at the base of a Welsh cliff. When Fiona Griffiths is tasked to look through a stackload of cold cases, her bosses don't expect her to find anything of interest. But then she discovers that an impossible robbery really happened. That the supposed suicide was anything but. That the dead security guard was almost certainly murdered. Before long, Fiona is embroiled in what will become the most terrifying case of her career so far - one that forces her to enter the heart of darkness, and a journey that will test her mental toughness to its very limits.

A maverick financier, Bryn, sees the potential, but convinces her that truth alone is never what secures change: it's money, nous and competitive savvy. He persuades her to go into business with him. Their aim: to build a stockmarket company worth a hundred million pounds - big enough to survive assault; strong enough to market Cameron's technology to the entire world. Corinth, a corporation worth a hundred billion dollars, sees Cameron's technology as a threat and aims to wipe out the fledgling enterprise.

Am 23. August 1893 werden zwei Kinder geboren: Alan ist der Sohn von Sir Adam Montague, Tom der Sohn seines Gärtners. Die Kinder wachsen gemeinsam auf, und es scheint, als könne diese Freundschaft nichts trüben - abgesehen von der Aussicht, dass Alan die Reichtümer seines Vaters, Tom hingegen gar nichts erben wird. Ein tragisches Missverständnis in den Schützengräben des Ersten Weltkriegs verwandelt die tiefe Freundschaft in bittere Rivalität. Eine Rivalität, die sich zukünftig nur um eines dreht: Öl. Und für die beiden Männer gibt es nur ein Ziel, das ihnen wichtiger ist als der Reichtum: Rache.
