Careless Love de Peter Robinson

Careless Love

Autor Peter Robinson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 feb 2019

Ritmul este alert, tăios, specific unei anchete contra cronometru unde fiecare pistă falsă costă vieți. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Peter Robinson construiește tensiunea în Careless Love, acest al 25-lea capitol al seriei DCI Banks, demonstrând de ce este considerat un maestru al genului 'police procedural'. Totul începe cu două cadavre care nu ar trebui să fie acolo: o tânără în haine de seară, găsită într-o rablă abandonată, și un bărbat la costum, prăbușit într-o râpă izolată.

Imaginați-vă tensiunea din Friend of the Devil, mutată într-un decor de mlaștini sălbatice din Yorkshire, unde eleganța victimelor contrastează brutal cu asprimea naturii. Considerăm că forța acestui roman stă în detaliile tehnice ale autopsiilor și în logica polițienească impecabilă, elemente care l-au consacrat pe autor și în volume precum Not Dark Yet sau Many Rivers to Cross. Robinson păstrează temele recurente ale izolării și melancoliei detectivului Banks, dar ridică miza prin reapariția unui inamic din trecut.

Structura este stratificată, alternând între perspectivele lui Banks și ale lui Annie Cabot, pe măsură ce identitățile victimelor rămân un mister total. Nu există acte, nu există martori, doar coincidențe mult prea stranii pentru a fi ignorate. Pe măsură ce inconsistențele se multiplică, echipa din Eastvale realizează că nu are de-a face cu simple accidente, ci cu un plan diabolic. Este o cursă febrilă pentru dovezi, într-un peisaj unde pericolul pândește la fiecare colț de stâncă.

Descriere scurtă

His fans include Stephen King, Michael Connelly, Tess Gerritsen, Ian Rankin, and Louise Penney. He has won acclaim and numerous international prizes and awards, including the Edgar. Now celebrated New York Times bestselling author Peter Robinson, one of the greatest suspense writers of our time, demonstrates his mastery once again in this powerful mystery in which legendary detective superintendent Alan Banks is confronted with a pair of perplexing crimes.
Two suspicious deaths challenge DS Alan Banks and his crack investigative team.
The body of an attractive young woman dressed in evening attire is found in an abandoned car on a country road. The death looks like suicide, but there are too many open questions for Banks and his team to rule out foul play. The car didn’t belong to her—it was badly damaged in an accident involving the vehicle’s owner a week earlier in the same spot. So how did the dead girl get inside the car? Did someone place her there, and if so, why? Where—and when—did she die?
While Banks attends the postmortem, DI Annie Cabot is at the scene of another death. A well-dressed man in his sixties has been found in a gully high up on the wild moorland. His injuries were fatal and consistent with those sustained in a fall. Was it an accident—did the man get too close to the edge and slip? Was he pushed? The man was wearing an expensive suit. What was he doing in a rocky spot popular with hikers? There are no signs of a vehicle near where he fell. How did he get there?
Banks’s and Cabot’s cases share a few curious similarities. Both of the dead were found in the same area of the moorlands. Both were elegantly dressed. The timing of their deaths coincided. And neither carried identification. As the police uncover who these people were and begin to look into their lives, inconsistencies multiply and the mysteries surrounding the two cases proliferate. Then a source close to Annie reveals a piece of information that rocks the Eastvale detectives working both investigations. An old enemy has returned in a new guise—a nefarious foe who will stop at nothing, not even murder, to get what he wants.
With the stakes raised, the hunt is on. But will Banks and his crack squad be able to find the evidence to stop him in time?

Recenzii

“As usual, Robinson provides a solid police procedural enhanced by the rugged Yorkshire setting. Banks himself—jazz and solitude-loving, difficult, somewhat melancholic, unlucky in love—is always fascinating.... For series fans, this one is a sure bet.” — Booklist
“Engrossing.... Those who enjoy methodical police procedurals that build to a logical, satisfying conclusion will be amply rewarded.” — Publishers Weekly
“Careless Love is another entertaining novel in the Inspector Banks series.” — Hamilton Spectator
“Peter Robinson writes the kind of mysteries they don’t write anymore: smart, civilized whodunits that are intellectually challenging, emotionally engaging and always discreet.” — New York Times Book Review on Carless Love
“The best series now on the market. Try one and tell me I’m wrong.”
— Stephen King
“Peter Robinson is a master.” — Tess Gerritsen
“Robinson fans will enjoy the latest entry in this long-running series...Well-written and believable, with recognizable but multifaceted characters and enough twists to keep the story riveting until the mystery is solved.” — Library Journal on Careless Love
“A mighty force to be reckoned with in crime fiction.” — Publishers Weekly on Peter Robinson
“Robinson’s interrogations... have the rare quality of steadily illuminating and thickening both the speakers and their subjects. The result is a slow-burning intensity that deepens from beginning to end.” — Kirkus Reviews on Sleeping in the Ground
“...a page turner. Expect to stay up late. It’s very hard to put down.” — Wichita Falls Times Record News (TX) on Sleeping in the Ground

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The twenty-fifth instalment of the Number One Bestselling DCI Banks series

'Robinson remains the master of the police procedural.' Mail on Sunday

'Robinson is prolific, but with each book he manages to ring the changes.' Guardian

A young local student has apparently committed suicide. Her body is found in an abandoned car on a lonely country road. She didn't own a car. Didn't even drive. How did she get there? Where did she die? Who moved her, and why?

Meanwhile a man in his sixties is found dead in a gully up on the wild moorland. He is wearing an expensive suit and carrying no identification. Post-mortem findings indicate he died from injuries sustained during the fall. But what was he doing up there? And why are there no signs of a car in the vicinity?

As the inconsistencies multiply and the mysteries proliferate, Annie's father's new partner, Zelda, comes up with a shocking piece of information that alerts Banks and Annie to the return of an old enemy in a new guise.

This is someone who will stop at nothing, not even murder, to get what he wants - and suddenly the stakes are raised and the hunt is on.
