Brighton Belle
Autor Sara Sheridanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2017
In the popular seaside town of Brighton, it's time for Mirabelle Bevan to move beyond her tumultuous wartime years and start anew. A job at a debt collection agency seems the right step toward a more tranquil life. But as she follows up on a routine loan to a pregnant Hungarian refugee, Mirabelle's instincts for spotting deception are stirred when the woman is reported dead, along with her unborn child.
As Mirabelle investigates the suspicious circumstances surrounding the death, aided by her feisty sidekick-Vesta Churchill ("no relation to Winston," as she explains)-she unravels a web of evil that stretches from the Brighton beachfront to the darkest corners of Europe. With more than a little British resourcefulness at hand, she must risk her life to navigate a lethal labyrinth of lies and danger in order to expose the truth.
