Ein unvollendetes Manuskript und ein ungelöster Cold Case: Die schottische Ermittlerin Karen Pirie löst ihren 7. Fall. Vor Jahren verschwand die Studentin Lara Hardie in Edinburgh spurlos. Trotz intensiver Ermittlungen gibt es bis heute keine brauchbaren Hinweise oder eine Leiche. Der entscheidende Wendepunkt kommt mit einem Anruf einer Bibliothekarin, die DCI Pirie über ein Manuskript informiert, das im Nachlass eines verstorbenen Schriftstellers entdeckt wurde. Die Handlung des Manuskripts weist erschreckende Ähnlichkeiten mit dem Fall von Lara auf und könnte der Schlüssel zur Aufklärung sein. Doch der Autor konnte das Werk nicht vollenden. Bei ihren Recherchen stößt Karen auf ein Netz aus Verrat und Rache, in dem Lüge und Wahrheit untrennbar miteinander verwoben sind und die Ermittlungen eine unerwartete Wendung nehmen. Val McDermid präsentiert in diesem clever geplotteten und spannenden Krimi erneut ihre Meisterschaft. Die Reihe um die Cold-Case-Ermittlerin Karen Pirie ist psychologisch ausgefeilt und bietet fesselnde Einblicke in die dunklen Seiten Edinburghs.

Bestsellerowa autorka Val McDermid prezentuje swoją najbardziej zaskakującą historię. Opowieść o morderstwie i zemście rozgrywa się w St. Andrews, gdzie czterech przyjaciół, wracając pijani do domu, natrafia na ciało Rosie Duff, młodej kobiety zgwałconej i zamordowanej. Dwadzieścia pięć lat później policja wznowiła śledztwo w tej nierozwiązanej sprawie, a dawni podejrzani stają się celem zemsty. Pożar, w którym ginie jeden z nich, i kolejne tajemnicze zniknięcia budzą obawy Alex Gilbeya, który obawia się o swoje życie. McDermid stworzyła porywające postacie, a jej powieść ukazuje złożoność lojalności, fałszywych tropów i rodzinnych więzów. Krytycy chwalą ją za umiejętność budowania napięcia oraz głębokie zanurzenie w psychologię postaci. To wciągająca lektura, która łączy w sobie klasyczne elementy thrillera i nowoczesne podejście do opowiadania historii. McDermid, uznawana za mistrzynię psychologicznych thrillerów, dostarcza czytelnikom emocjonujących zwrotów akcji, które trzymają w napięciu do samego końca.
