Final Betrayal: An absolutely gripping crime thriller: Detective Lottie Parker
Autor Patricia Gibneyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 apr 2021
Traducerea din limba engleză a acestui volum păstrează intactă tensiunea viscerală a prozei lui Patricia Gibney, reușind să transmită urgența fiecărei secunde care se scurge. În Final Betrayal, al șaselea titlu din seria Detective Lottie Parker, mizele nu mai sunt doar profesionale, ci devin dureros de personale. Două fete dispar după o noapte în club, fiind găsite ulterior fără suflare, strângând în pumni monede de argint. Este un mesaj codificat? Un ritual? Suntem de părere că forța acestui roman rezidă în modul în care autoarea împletește procedura polițistă cu vulnerabilitatea maternă. Când propriile fiice ale lui Lottie dispar, ritmul devine frenetic. Propozițiile sunt scurte, tăioase, reflectând starea de alertă a unei mame care este, în același timp, investigator principal. Credem că Ragmullin nu a fost niciodată un decor mai ostil. Apreciem cum Gibney folosește trecutul personajelor sale pentru a alimenta prezentul; dacă în No Safe Place am văzut cum secretele vechi ies la suprafață într-un cimitir, aici trădarea vine dintr-o zonă mult mai intimă. Cititorul care a apreciat atmosfera sumbră și descoperirile macabre din The Lost Child va găsi aici aceeași intensitate a investigației în zona rurală irlandeză — dar într-un context mult mai alert, unde timpul este cel mai mare inamic. Nu este doar un roman polițist; este o cursă contra cronometru în care fiecare pistă falsă poate însemna o pierdere iremediabilă.

Descriere
She lifted the flap of the envelope and pulled out the single white page. As she opened it up she stared, open mouthed. Four words were typed on the page.
I am watching you.
When Amy Whyte and Penny Brogan leave a local nightclub in the early hours of Sunday morning and don't arrive home, their families are beside themselves with worry. Conor Dowling has just been released from prison, a man full of hatred for Amy, the girl who put him behind bars in the first place.
The case is given to Detective Lottie Parker, when the girls' blood-soaked bodies are found, days later, in a derelict squat. Chillingly, both girls are clutching silver coins in their hands - what message is this killer leaving behind? All the signs point to Conor but his alibi is water tight.
As Lottie examines Penny and Amy's final days alive in a desperate search for clues, two more girls are found stabbed to death in a luxury apartment complex. Caught up in what is fast becoming her toughest case yet, Lottie is unaware that somebody is watching her every move.
Then Lottie's two daughters, Katie and Chloe suddenly disappear from the town centre. Terrified that the killer has her girls, the stakes have never been higher for Lottie.
But as Lottie puts everything on the line to find her daughters and solve the case, she's about to find herself in terrible danger - someone has a personal axe to grind with her and they know the best way to get to her is to hurt the ones she loves the most.
If you love Karin Slaughter, Robert Dugoni and Rachel Abbott, you'll be hooked by this heart-stopping thriller from Patricia Gibney. Final Betrayal will keep you guessing until the very last page.
