Klappentext zu „Claire DeWitt and the Bohemian Highway “
When Paul Casablancas, Claire DeWitt's musician ex-boyfriend, is found dead in his home in San Francisco's Mission District, the police are convinced it's a simple robbery.But, as Claire knows, nothing is ever simple. With the help of her new assistant Claude, Claire follows the clues, finding possible leads to Paul's fate in other cases - a long-ago missing girl and a modern-day miniature horse theft in Marin. As visions of the past reveal the secrets of the present, Claire begins to understand the words of the enigmatic French detective Jacques Silette: 'The detective won't know what he is capable of until he encounters a mystery that pierces his own heart.'Just as City of the Dead was acclaimed for its unique heroine and powerful atmosphere - 'mesmeric ... unlike any other crime novel you'll read this year' (Guardian) and 'the most unusual , intelligent thriller I've read for years (Sophie Hannah) - Claire DeWitt and The Bohemian Highway is an extraordinarily powerful and moving mystery novel from a rare talent.

Rezension zu „Claire DeWitt and the Bohemian Highway “
Sara Gran is a truly unique voice and Claire DeWitt is a detective like no other. MARK BILLINGHAM If Haruki Murakami wrote The Wire, it would come out something like Sara Gran; cryptic, dreamy, funny and gritty as hell. She's a phenomenal talent.

Washington Post Confirms [Sara Gran] as one of the freshest voices in modern crime fiction. There is not a hint of a formula in this super-charged sequel that is, for me, better than the original ...

If I were to follow my gut instinct I'd say that Gran has a best-seller on her hands. Independent on Sunday Gran abandons any pretence at a traditional crime-fiction narrative, instead bending the genre's tropes out of shape as the charmingly idiosyncratic DeWitt stumbles along to the beat of a drum only she can hear.

Bold, inventive, fiercely unique. If I ever go missing, send for Claire DeWitt - no other PI can compare. CHRIS EWAN Gran is whip-smart, a hell of a writer, and a genius with twists and turns. Largeheartedboy An acerbic and smart slice of modern noir the rival of any other novel out there ... Gran is a terrific, committed and diverse writer ... She's hit on a formula that will surely bring a wider audience to her subtle, superbly-crafted prose. Big Issue Gran has created an unforgettable character that readers will surely follow. Bookpage Why? Why is Sara Gran not the best selling author, bar none? Claire DeWitt is my favourite PI ... If this doesn't win The Shamus for best novel, then The

Edgar for best novel, I truly have lost my touch for what is truly awesome in mystery. Thank you Sara for the alchemy of Claire. KEN BRUEN
