    • 363pagine
    • 13 ore di lettura

    Con Il caso Maloney , Graham Hurley inaugura una serie che in Gran Bretagna e in Francia ha fatto scalpore: thriller forti di una scrittura scabra e cristallina, e di una capacità di restituire la realtà della scena criminale con tale efficacia da annoverare tra i molti estimatori i più alti gradi della polizia e dell’investigazione del Regno Unito. Stewart Maloney è scomparso nel nulla: l’ispettore Joe Faraday è convinto che sia stato assassinato. Ma ci si può basare su una semplice intuizione in un luogo come Portsmouth, una delle città più povere e violente d’Inghilterra, dove le uniche leggi sono il traffico di droga e il crimine, e la sola regola è l’omertà? Sprecare energie dietro un presunto caso di omicidio è una perdita di tempo che Joe non può permettersi. Ma Faraday sta lottando anche contro altro: sotto un cielo grigio che incombe, nel quale solo il volo degli uccelli sembra avere ancora una direzione e un senso, i demoni di un passato che lo ossessiona non gli concedono tregua. Perché ritrovare Stewart Maloney vivo o morto è il perno intorno al quale ruota ormai la sua intera esistenza: e fallire significherebbe arrendersi a quei demoni, arrendersi alla follia...

    Newly appointed to the Major Crimes Team, DI Joe Faraday investigates the brutal murder of a local prison officer, Sean Coughlin—and begins to build a disturbing picture of the dead man’s life. With few friends and many enemies, Coughlin appears to have been a murder waiting to happen. Was the killer a recently released prisoner with a homicidal grudge? Or do the clues lead to Coughlin’s past? Deadlight forces Joe Faraday to step outside the investigative process and explore a wider violence—not just the darkness cast by an evil man, but the ever-deepening shadows of a half-forgotten war.

It should be a dream job but Joe fears someone will move in to fill the vacuum when Bazza is gone. Bazza seems to be one step ahead of the investigation at every turn in any case. And then Faraday's son J-J is arrested. He faces a manslaughter charge for supplying drugs to an addict who has subsequently overdosed...
