Cold Bones: The 8th DS McAvoy Novel: DS McAvoy
Autor David Marken Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 ian 2019
When McAvoy is told by a concerned stranger that an elderly woman hasn't been seen for a few days, he goes to check on her - only to find her in the bath, encased in ice: the heating off; the windows open; the whole house frozen over.
It could be a macabre accident, but McAvoy senses murder. Someone watched her die.
As he starts to uncover the victim's story and her connections to a lost fishing trawler, his boss Trish is half a world away, investigating a mysterious death in Iceland. Hull and Iceland have traditionally been united by fishing - in this case, they are linked by a secret concealed for half a century, and a series of brutal killings that have never been connected.
Until now - when the secrets of the dead have returned to prey on the living.

Recenzii
Gory, startling and a complete one-off.
David Mark's writing style is masterful: atmospheric, precise, original, a joy to read. Plus he can put together a damn good story.
Mark is one of the best of a new breed of noir writers, capable of allying a powerful story and massive brutality in a genuine, fast-paced thriller with a bit of heart.
David Mark has put Hull on the map... and placed DS Aector McAvoy as one of the most interesting and likeable British detectives... Dark, sad and superbly atmospheric.
David Mark's latest novel is a powerful mixture of drama, brutality, courage and vengeance... COLD BONES is the best novel so far in Mark's impressive series.
an enthralling tale with more twists and red herrings than pretty much any other crime drama I've read over the last few years...if evocative atmosphere, enthralling, believable characters and sheer gutsiness is more up your blood-soaked alley, then you really must give this novel a try. Quite simply, it's full marks for David Mark.
Praise for David Mark
Aficionados of the grittiest, most trenchant fare love Mark's copper Aector McAvoy, who customarily moves in a darkly realised Hull.
There is a good array of villains, and Mark is impressive in his sensitive portrayals of the relationships between the principal characters at work and home.
Mark's rich, distinctive prose style and damaged characters compel you to keep reading... shaping up to be an essential crime series
In McAvoy, David Mark has created a big hero with a huge heart. His skill at weaving threads of light through the darkest fabric has rightly won him a legion of fans who like their crime fiction to be real and compassionate.
Truly exhilarating and inventive. Mark is a wonderfully descriptive writer and an exciting young talent.
A brilliant read.
Dark, compelling crime writing of the highest order
More twists and turns than a corkscrew through the eyeball
To call Mark's novels police procedurals is like calling the Mona Lisa a pretty painting.
Effortlessly blends the brutal and the tender, the dark and the light. Aector McAvoy is a true original. So is David Mark.
Highly entertaining
Breathtaking. Mark writes bad beautifully
The McAvoy series pulls off the double whammy of cracking characters and cunning plots. The big detective Aector McAvoy is so real and so loveable you want to have a pint with him, and the legendary Trish Pharaoh proves that a man can create an utterly compelling female character
It's the coldest winter in Hull for years. When McAvoy is told by a concerned stranger that an elderly women hasn't been seen for a few days, he goes to check on her - only to find her body encased in ice: the heating off; the windows open; the whole house frozen over. It could be a macabre accident, but when McAvoy finds a series of cryptic messages, he senses murder. Someone watched her die.
