When Angels Sleep: A heart-racing, twisty serial killer thriller: The Holly Wakefield Thrillers
Autor Mark Griffinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 noi 2019
Vocea narativă a lui Mark Griffin se impune prin precizie chirurgicală și o capacitate rară de a sonda întunericul. Suntem de părere că forța acestui roman rezidă în contrastul brutal dintre puritatea victimei — un băiat găsit într-o postură angelică în Epping Forest — și cruzimea calculată a ucigașului. Holly Wakefield revine în scenă. Nu este doar un expert, ci un psiholog criminalist care înțelege instinctiv mecanismele minților deviante. Tensiunea se acumulează rapid. Bishop are nevoie de ea. Timpul expiră. Cadavrele se adună. Atmosfera te trimite cu gândul la The Night Stalker, deși vulnerabilitatea și secretul întunecat al protagonistei marchează o voce proprie, mult mai personală. Putem afirma că When Angels Sleep consolidează universul început în When Darkness Calls. Dacă în primul volum am descoperit traumele care au modelat-o pe Holly, aici Griffin explorează reziliența acesteia în fața răului pur. Stilul este alert, trădând experiența autorului în scenaristică. Fiecare capitol este construit să taie respirația. Nu există timpi morți. Doar o cursă contracronometru într-o Londră înghețată, unde simbolurile religioase devin semnături macabre. Este un roman polițist care refuză clișeele comode, optând pentru o explorare psihologică densă.

Descriere
'Dark, compelling . . . one of the best police procedurals I've read for a long time' M. W. CRAVEN
'Creepy, twisted and gripping' Sun 5-star review
On a cold winter's morning, the body of a young boy is discovered in Epping Forest.
The body is pristine and peaceful, his head resting gently on a pillow, an angel pendant clenched in his small fist. It is a murder as carefully planned as it is brutal, and there's one person DI Bishop needs back on his team to help solve such a calculated crime.
Holly Wakefield, criminal psychologist for the Met Police, is better than anyone Bishop knows at getting inside the brains of psychopaths. But with the body count rising, it's going to take all their strength and resolve to stop the serial killer before any more angels are put to their rest . . .
The second gripping serial killer thriller in the Holly Wakefield series, perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Stuart MacBride, Robert Bryndza and TV crime series Luther.
