The Black Monastery
Summary
People used to come to the small Greek island of Palassos for the historic ruins. Now they come to take drugs and party all night. But the horrific ritual murder of a boy in the grounds of an old monastery brings back memories of two similar deaths in the mid-1970s, and of a mysterious cult who once dwelt in the island's interior, memories the island has tried hard to forget. As Nikos, the police chief who has been persuaded back to his home island for the final years of his career, begins his investigation, two Brits arrive on the island: the best-selling crime writer Kitty Carson, on a break from the pressures of work and her strained marriage, and Jason, an aspiring writer with a secret of his own. When a second body is discovered - further endangering the island's lucrative tourist trade - these three characters are thrown together, as the gruesome secrets of the past begin to emerge. Brilliantly paced, and featuring a memorable cast of characters, The Black Monastery is a blistering portrait of paradise gone wrong. Stav Sherez is a freelance journalist and music critic.

Elva dagar
Summary
Vid ett sömnigt torg i centrala London rasar en brand som förtär ett litet kloster gömt bland bostadshusen. När kriminalkommissarie Jack Carrigan och kriminalinspektör Geneva Miller kommer till platsen upptäcker de elva döda kroppar i ruinen. Trots att bara tio nunnor bodde i klostret. Det är elva dagar till jul. Polisledningen vill få fallet löst före helgen, men Carrigan och Miller börjar misstänka att nunnorna inte var det människor såg dem som. Varför gjorde de inga försök att fly undan elden? Vem var det elfte dödsoffret som hittades på en annan våning än de övriga tio? Och var finns klostrets präst, den ende som kan svara på deras frågor? Carrigan och Miller tvingas kämpa mot både förutfattade meningar inom sin egen kår och mot den katolska kyrkohierarkin. Gradvis börjar de nysta upp trådarna i fallet, där somliga sträcker sig tillbaka till det tidiga 1970-talets radikala befrielseteologi och arbetarkamp för en värdig tillvaro i Sydamerika, medan andra leder till nuets brutala ligor som är beredda att tortera och döda för att slå vakt om sina affärer – trafficking, bordeller och narkotikahandel. Elva dagar är en komplex, atmosfärrik och hela tiden överrumplande kriminalroman där elva dagars intensiv handling spänner över fyra decennier och två kontinenter. Stav Sherez, född 1970, är en brittisk författare och tidigare musikjournalist. Hans första roman The Devil’s Playground nominerades till CWA John Creasey Dagger Award som tilldelas bästa kriminallitterära debut. 2018 tilldelades den tredje boken i den kritikerrosade serien om kriminalkommissarie Jack Carrigan och kriminalinspektör Geneva Miller Theakston Old Peculier Award som årets bästa brittiska kriminalroman.

Eleven Days
Summary
A fire rages through a sleepy West London square, engulfing a small convent hidden away among the residential houses. When DI Jack Carrigan and DS Geneva Miller arrive at the scene they discover 11 bodies, yet there were only supposed to be 10 nuns in residence. It's 11 days before Christmas, and despite their superiors wanting the case solved before the holidays, Carrigan and Miller start to suspect that the nuns were not who they were made out to be. Why did they make no move to escape the fire? Who is the 11th victim, whose body was found separate to the others? And where is the convent's priest, the one man who can answer their questions? Fighting both internal politics and the church hierarchy, Carrigan and Miller unravel the threads of a case that reaches back to the early 1970s, and the upsurge of radical Liberation Theology in South America - with echoes of the Shining Path and contemporary battles over oil, land, and welfare. Meanwhile, closer to home, there's a new threat in the air - one the police are entirely unprepared for.... Spanning four decades and two continents, Eleven Days finds Carrigan and Miller up against time as they face a new kind of criminal future. Stav Sherez is the author of two previous novels. The Devil's Playground (2004), his debut, was described by James Sallis as “altogether extraordinary, it introduces a major new talent”, and was shortlisted for the CWA John Creasy Dagger Award.
