Zusatztext Christopher Brookmyre is! hands down! one of the funniest! savviest crime writers around... Without shying away from the darker elements of crime thrillers - evil! violence and plenty of gore - Brookmyre's work shimmers with a sense of unfettered fun Informationen zum Autor Chris Brookmyre was a journalist before becoming a full-time novelist with the publication of his award-winning debut Quite Ugly One Morning , which established him as one of Britain's leading crime authors. His Jack Parlabane novels have sold more than one million copies in the UK alone, and Black Widow won both the McIlvanney Prize and the Theakston's Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year award. Klappentext 'Invigoratingly complex . . .

Jasmine has been hired to find Tessa Garrion, a woman who has vanished without a trace. And there are some who want it to stay that way. As Jasmine is pulled into a hidden history of sex, drugs, ritualism and murder she finds the links between Glasgow's high society and the lowest depths of the underworld becoming clearer. Soon Jasmine realises that she may need a little help from the dark side herself if she's going to get to the truth. 'Shimmers with a sense of unfettered fun . . . [Brookmyre] is a master at juggling multiple storylines, protagonists and narrators . . . I'm already looking forward to the next Sharp-McLeod outing' Independent on Sunday '[Brookmyre's characters] are excellent creations - complex, realistic characters full of everyday flaws and woes, and the reader can't help but feel empathy for both of them . . . yet another accomplished, smart and funny piece of crime writing, plotted and executed with no small amount of skill, style and craft' Doug Johnstone, Scotsman The much anticipated follow up to Where the Bodies are Buried - the hugely successful new crime series from Chris Brookmyre Zusammenfassung The much anticipated follow up to Where the Bodies are Buried - the hugely successful new crime series from Chris Brookmyre...
