Between Two Evils de Eva Dolan

Between Two Evils

Autor Eva Dolan

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 aug 2020

Un medic tânăr zace ucis în propria casă, sub soarele necruțător al unei veri britanice. Descoperim aici o dilemă morală acută: a fost victima un avertizor de integritate sau un complice la abuzuri? Between Two Evils ne aruncă direct în inima unei instituții opace — un centru de detenție pentru femei unde secretele sunt mai periculoase decât zidurile. Remarcăm cum Eva Dolan transformă un caz de omor într-o radiografie socială tăioasă. Imaginați-vă tensiunea din While She Sleeps, mutată într-un decor de instituție guvernamentală coruptă, unde vulnerabilitatea imigranților devine monedă de schimb. Putem afirma că ritmul este dictat de o cursă contra cronometru dublă. În timp ce detectivii Zigic și Ferreira reconstituie ultimele zile ale doctorului Ainsworth, un criminal eliberat pe baza unei tehnicalități juridice pândește în umbră. Spre deosebire de atmosfera din After You Die, unde accentul cădea pe suferința domestică, sau din Tell No Tales, marcat de tensiuni rasiale stradale, acest nou volum din seria Zigic și Ferreira rafinează stilul autoarei, ancorând suspansul în realități politice imediate. Structura narativă este densă, alternând între minuțiozitatea interviurilor polițienești și amenințarea invizibilă a recidivistului aflat în libertate. Este un roman polițist care nu doar caută un vinovat, ci chestionează sistemul în ansamblu.

Descriere

LONGLISTED FOR THE THEAKSTON OLD PECULIER CRIME NOVEL OF THE YEAR AWARD 2021

'Anyone wanting smart and compelling crime fiction with razor-sharp social comment should read Eva Dolan. In fact, EVERYONE should read her.' Mark Billingham

'A new read from Eva Dolan is always a pleasure and her latest is as dark and gritty as ever . Dolan puts troubling contemporary themes at the heart of her fiction, creating a compelling mystery about the treatment of vulnerable immigrants in a secretive establishment' Sunday Times

As the country bakes under the relentless summer sun, a young doctor is found brutally murdered at his home in a picturesque Cambridgeshire village.

Is his death connected to his private life - or his professional one?

Dr Joshua Ainsworth worked at an all-female detention centre, one still recovering from a major scandal a few years before. Was he the whistle-blower - or an instigator?

As Detective Sergeant Ferreira and Detective Inspector Zigic begin to painstakingly reconstruct Dr Ainsworth's last days, they uncover yet more secrets and more suspects. But this isn't the only case that's demanding their attention - a violent criminal has been released on a technicality and the police force know he will strike again: the only question is who will be his first victim.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE CRIME WRITING ASSOCIATION IAN FLEMING STEEL DAGGER 2020
