Produktinformationen zu „Trick of the Dark “
"Death is a hollow drum whose beat has measured out my adult life." So steht es in den Memoiren von Jay Macallan Stewart. Was haben diese Worte mit der frischvermählten und -verwitweten Magda Newsam zu tun? Was weiß Magdas Mutter Corinna, das ihr solche Angst macht? Kann die Psychologin Charlie Flint, die vor den Scherben ihrer Karriere steht, Corinna - und damit sich selbst - helfen? Oder ist der Preis der Wahrheit diesmal zu hoch?
Klappentext zu „Trick of the Dark “
When Charlie Flint is sent a mysterious package of cuttings about a brutal murder, it instantly grabs her attention. The murder occurred in the grounds of her old Oxford college - a groom battered to death just hours after his wedding. As his bride and wedding guests sipped champagne, his alleged killers were slipping his bloodstained body into the river.
Charlie doesn't know who sent the package, or why, yet she can't get the crime out of her head. But as she delves deeper, and steps back into the mysterious world of Oxford colleges, she realises that there is much more to this crime than meets the eye...
