She Lies in Wait
Summary
Six friends. One killer. Who do you trust? A teen girl is missing after a night of partying; thirty years later, the discovery of her body reopens a cold case in “a scorching portrait of friendship and its betrayal.” (Nicci French). “This enjoyably chilling suspense tale...conveys both the thrills and the dangers of being a teenager on the brink of adult independence.” (The New York Times Book Review) On a scorching July night in 1983, a group of teenagers goes camping in the forest. Bright and brilliant, they are destined for great things, and the youngest of the group - Aurora Jackson - is delighted to be allowed to tag along. The evening starts like any other - they drink, they dance, they fight, they kiss. Some of them slip off into the woods in pairs, others are left jealous and heartbroken. But by morning, Aurora has disappeared. Her friends claim she was safe the last time they saw her, right before she went to sleep. An exhaustive investigation is launched, but no trace of the teenager is ever found. Thirty years later, Aurora’s body is unearthed in a hideaway that only the six friends knew about, and Jonah Sheens is put in charge of solving the long-cold case. Back in 1983, as a young cop in their small town, he had known the teenagers - including Aurora - personally, even before taking part in the search. Now, he’s determined to finally get to the truth of what happened that night. Sheens’s investigation brings the members of the camping party back to the forest, where they will be confronted once again with the events that left one of them dead and all of them profoundly changed forever. This searing, psychologically captivating novel marks the arrival of a dazzling new talent and the start of a new series featuring Detective Chief Inspector Jonah Sheens. Praise for She Lies in Wait “A novel that literally makes you hold your breath then gasp out loud.” (Val McDermid) “She Lies in Wait is an atmospheric, deeply satisfying, well-written mystery whose resolution rings true after lots of false leads and blind alleys. A remarkably adept first novel. One hopes there will be many more to come.” (Daily Herald) “What a marvel! A corkscrew-twisty, knife-sharp thriller - yet it doubles as a tender ode to loss and longing. Prepare to be haunted.” (A. J. Finn, author of the New York Times best seller The Woman in the Window)

Bis ihr sie findet
Summary
Sechs Freunde. Ein Mörder. Wem kannst du trauen? Südengland an einem heißen Juliabend des Jahres 1983. Sechs Schulfreunde treffen sich, um gemeinsam im Wald zu zelten. Sie alle sind aufgeweckte Jugendliche und anarchisch, unerschrocken, schön, scheinbar für höhere Ziele geboren. Die erst vierzehnjährige Aurora kann kaum glauben, für ein paar Stunden zu ihrer Clique gehören zu dürfen. Am nächsten Morgen ist sie spurlos verschwunden. Dreißig Jahre später taucht in eben jenem Wald eine Leiche auf. Detective Chief Inspector Jonah Sheens weiß sofort, wen man nach all der Zeit endlich gefunden hat: Aurora. Die sechs Freunde sind mittlerweile ein jeder auf seine Weise beruflich erfolgreich geworden und halten alle an ihrer Unschuld fest. Was genau ist damals geschehen? War der Mörder die ganze Zeit in ihrer Mitte? Es ist an Jonah Sheens, das Netz aus jahrzehntealten Lügen, polizeilichen Versäumnissen und wohlgehüteten Geheimnissen zu entwirren.
