Blood Ties: A gripping Irish police procedural, heralding the return of Ben Devlin: Ben Devlin

Autor Brian McGilloway
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2021

O victimă îngropată de doisprezece ani și un criminal proaspăt ucis. Cum poate un spirit să se răzbune dincolo de mormânt? Aceasta este dilema brutală care îl readuce în prim-plan pe inspectorul Ben Devlin. Descoperim aici un conflict între justiția legală și cea vigilentă, declanșat de moartea lui Brooklyn Harris. Harris, un bărbat care și-a ispășit pedeapsa pentru uciderea tinerei Hannah Row, este găsit înjunghiat în propria cameră. Tensiunea crește insuportabil când medicina legală confirmă imposibilul: sângele găsit pe cadavrul lui Harris aparține lui Hannah Row. Dar Hannah este moartă de un deceniu. Ritmul narațiunii este alert, dictat de o cronologie care apasă greu asupra echipei de investigație. Autorul Brian McGilloway construiește o rețea densă de suspecți, de la familia îndurerată a fetei până la justițiari anonimi din mediul online. Ca și în The Lost (Paula Maguire 1) de Claire McGowan, Blood Ties explorează cicatricile adânci lăsate de dispariția tinerelor în comunitățile de la granița irlandeză, dar dintr-o perspectivă mult mai procedurală, axată pe rigoarea detectivistică în fața unor dovezi care sfidează logica. Față de volumele anterioare, precum Borderlands, unde accentul cădea pe atmosfera locului, aici Brian McGilloway rafinează suspansul psihologic, transformând o anchetă de rutină într-o confruntare cu fantomele trecutului.

Descriere

'An enthralling, powerful and incredibly moving novel' Irish Times

'Blood Ties is a compulsive police procedural, but it's so much more than that: thought-provoking, compassionate and beautifully-written. McGilloway is one of the finest crime-writers working today.' Ann Cleeves

'Written in elegantly simple prose... this novel is full of compassion' Literary Review

'Blood Ties is one of those rare gems; a beautifully written crime novel that's also brilliantly paced, skillfully plotted and utterly absorbing.' Jo Spain

'Brian McGilloway's police procedurals are a masterclass in crime fictions' Andrea Carter

'A clever, engaging and beautifully crafted police procedural' Irish Independent

'Some of the very best crime fiction being written today' Lee Child on Bad Blood

How can a dead woman avenge herself on her killer twenty years after her murder?

This is the puzzle facing Ben Devlin in his latest case. He is called to the scene of a murder - a man has been stabbed to death in his rented room and when his identity is discovered Devlin feels a ghost walk over his grave as he knows the name Brooklyn Harris well. As a teenager, Harris beat his then-girlfriend Hannah Row to death, and then spent twelve years in prison for the murder.

As Devlin investigates the dead man's movements since his release it becomes apparent Harris has been grooming teenage girls online and then arranging to meet them. But his activities have been discovered by others, notably a vigilante, who goes straight to the top of Devlin's list of suspects... until he uncovers that Harris was killed on the anniversary of Hannah's death - just too big a coincidence in Devlin's books. So Hannah's family join the ever-growing list of suspects being interviewed by his team. And then forensics contact Devlin with the astounding news that blood found on Harris's body is a perfect match to that of Hannah Row's. Yet how can this be; the girl was murdered many years ago - and Devlin doesn't believe in ghosts.

Praise for Brian McGilloway

'This dazzling, labyrinthine debut impresses not only for the authentic depiction of a troubled community and the conflicts of a fallible detective, but also for the intense portrait of the borderlands themselves; as beautiful and terrible as the secrets they keep' Guardian

'Poetic, human and gripping... reminded me of Bernard MacLaverty's early work. Yes, it's that good' Ian Rankin

'McGilloway's Borderlands was one of last years most impressive debuts. Does Gallows Lane pass the feared second-novel test? Easily.' The Times

'McGilloway skilfully handles the tangled threads of a conspiracy surrounding an old crime, to make a satisfying mystery with an attractive central character.' Sunday Telegraph

'Well-written, subtly characterised and intriguingly plotted' Morning Star
