Robert Bryndza Reihenfolge der Bücher

Je rok 1985 a osmnáctiletá Coco Pinchardová se po svém prvním semestru na univerzitě v Aberystwyth vrací domů do Londýna na Vánoce. Beznadějně se zamilovala do Daniela Pincharda, ďábelsky pohledného hudebníka z chudé čtvrti, jenže její despotická matka s ní má jiné plány a chce ji sblížit s „dobrou partií“ Kennethem, synem svých nejlepších přátel, kteří k nim přijedou na vánoční oběd. Ten se ale trochu zvrhne a snobská matka a otec pod pantoflem se u něj poprvé setkají s Danielovou bláznivou matkou Ethel, jeho sestrou Meryl a vánočním krocanem Jeanem Paulem Belmondem. V prosinci 1992, o sedm let později, je už Coco vdaná a jejímu synovi Rosencrantzovi jsou čtyři roky. Stejně jako všechny další děti na světe šílí po hračce Tracyho ostrov. A když šílí i děti, šílí i rodiče! Vánoce se rychle blíží a Coco se zoufale snaží zajistit, aby si Rosencrantz rozbalil pod stromečkem svou vysněnou hračku. Když se k tomu přidá její hrozný šéf, líný Daniel a vyhlídka na příjezd příbuzných na svátky, není divu, že si Coco přeje Vánoce zrušit a odplout na nějaký opuštěný ostrov – a rozhodně ne ten Tracyho!

Zrútený strop, mŕtve telo. To, čo sa začína ako obyčajný telefonát na linku 999, naberie nečakaný spád, keď detektív šéfinšpektor Erika Fosterová dorazí na miesto a v prázdnom byte objaví telo ženy a stopy kokaínu. Pátranie privedie Eriku späť tam, kde by to nikdy nečakala – díva sa do očí Jeromovi Goodmanovi, drogovému dílerovi, ktorý pred desiatimi rokmi zavraždil jej manžela Marka. Odhalenia privedú Eriku na pokraj síl a donútia ju čeliť traume z minulosti a pravde o tom, čo sa stalo v deň Markovej smrti – a kto z tieňa ťahal za nitky. V smrtiacej hre na mačku a myš sa detektívka Erika Fosterová stretáva so svojou najväčšou nemesis – a hranice spravodlivosti sa stierajú, tajomstvá rozpletajú a z minulosti sa vynárajú desivé tiene.

When school girl Janey Macklin disappeared from the seedy side of London in 1988, her case went cold, with no body and no witnesses. Now, thirty years later, private detective Kate Marshall has been approached by a true crime podcast producer with an intriguing question they need her help answering: What if Janey was killed by Peter Conway, the notorious Nine Elms Cannibal? The contract would be the most lucrative of Kate's career, but it comes with a price of its own, dredging up a sordid, complicated past that she would sooner forget . . . one that the paparazzi are determined to keep in the headlines. As Kate and her partner, Tristan, scour King's Cross for clues, no two leads seem to point in the same direction. The last person to see Janey alive has already been tried, convicted, and then acquitted of her murder, Peter Conway is in poor health and fading fast, and the line between their clients and their suspects is blurring with each new revelation about the case. With little to work from, can Tristan and Kate wade through clandestine phone calls, decades-old secrets, and deteriorating DNA evidence to solve Janey's murder, or will she remain one of London's countless missing persons, forever lost to time?
