Oliver Harris: Deep Shelter, Fester Einband

Kurzbeschreibung

A killer is about to lead you underground - from the man who 'makes London as eerie as Le Carre's Berlin or Larsson's Stockholm'.

Beschreibung

London is steaming under a summer of filthy heat and sudden storms and Detective Nick Belsey, of Hampstead CID, is trying to stay out of trouble.

But then somebody sets him a riddle. How does a man walk into a dead-end alley and never come out? How does he disappear?

And then reappear to snatch a girl, to dump a body beneath a London skyscraper, to send Belsey a package of human hair.

The answer lies underground, where the secrets degenerating beneath the city s sickly glitter are about to see the light of day.

Rezension

"Heaven, I'm in heaven... in fact, I'm in Hampstead, where Detective Nick Belsey is based, and he's the coolest cop you'll have come across in ages. London through his eyes is as atmospheric as a drawing by Gustave Doré... This demands to be read before the television adaptation." Kate Saunders Saga Magazine

Klappentext

Detective Nick Belsey is trying to behave. Which means no more boozing, no more thieving, and no more abuse of the badge. It's hell. Then someone sets him a riddle. How does a man walk into one of London's million dead-end alleys and never come out, only to reappear in another part of town to cave in a homeless man's skull? In DEEP SHELTER, Besley dives headlong into London's darkest terrain.
