Salt Lane
Autor William Shawen Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 iun 2018
Sergeant Alexandra Cupidi is a recent transfer from the London metro police to the rugged Kentish countryside. She's done little to ingratiate herself with her new colleagues, who find her too brash, urban, and--to make matters worse, she investigated her first partner, a veteran detective, and had him arrested on murder charges. Now assigned the brash young Constable Jill Ferriter to look after, she's facing another bizarre case: a woman found floating in local marsh land, dead of no apparent cause.
The
case
gets
even
stranger
when
the
detectives
contact
the
victim's
next
of
kin,
her
son,
a
high-powered
graphic
designer
living
in
London.
Adopted
at
the
age
of
two,
he'd
never
known
his
mother,
he
tells
the
detectives,
until
a
homeless
womanknocked
on
his
door,
claiming
to
be
his
mother,
just
the
night
before:
at
the
same
time
her
body
was
being
dredged
from
the
water.
Juggling
the
case,
her
aging
mother,
her
teenage
daughter,
and
the
loneliness
of
country
life,
Detective
Cupidi
must
discover
who
the
woman
really
was,
who
killed
her,
and
how
she
managed
to
reconnect
with
her
long
lost
son,
apparently
from
beyond
the
grave.

'William Shaw is a superb storyteller' Peter May
SHE ALWAYS WENT TOO FAR
DS Alexandra Cupidi has done it again. She should have learnt to keep her big mouth shut, after the scandal that sent her packing - resentful teenager in tow - from the London Met to the lonely Kent coastline. Murder is different here, among the fens and stark beaches.
SHE WAS THE ONE WHO FOUND THE KILLERS
The man drowned in the slurry pit had been herded there like an animal. He was North African, like many of the fruit pickers that work the fields. The more Cupidi discovers, the more she wants to ask - but these people are suspicious of questions.
AND NOW IT WAS KILLING HER
It will take an understanding of this strange place - its old ways and new crimes - to uncover the dark conspiracy behind the murder. Cupidi is not afraid to travel that road. But she should be. She should, by now, have learnt.
Salt Lane is the first in the new DS Alexandra Cupidi series. With his trademark characterisation and flair for social commentary, William Shaw has crafted a crime novel for our time that grips you, mind and heart.
