When Darkness Calls: The gripping first thriller in a nail-biting crime series: The Holly Wakefield Thrillers
Autor Mark Griffinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 mai 2019
Traducerea acestui roman din limba engleză păstrează cadența alertă și atmosfera apăsătoare a originalului, reușind să transmită cititorului român acea stare de neliniște constantă specifică prozei britanice contemporane. Observăm o schimbare radicală de ton față de lucrările anterioare ale lui Mark Griffin, precum The Minister's Way; dacă acolo autorul explora latura spirituală și vindecarea, aici plonjează brutal în întunericul patologic. Premisa este tensionată: cadavre dezmembrate, aranjate cu o precizie teatrală macabră în inima Londrei. Holly Wakefield nu este doar un psiholog criminalist eficient; ea poartă povara unui secret care o transformă în ținta perfectă. Considerăm că forța narațiunii rezidă în legătura invizibilă dintre vânător și vânat. Stilul are ceva din precizia clinică a lui Mike Omer în In the Darkness, fără să fie o imitație — Griffin adaugă o dimensiune personală mult mai viscerală, legând trauma protagonistului de fiecare indiciu lăsat de criminal. Ritmul este sacadat. Capitolele sunt scurte. Tensiunea se acumulează rapid pe măsură ce patologul confirmă că aceste mutilări nu sunt un incident izolat. Este un debut care a convins criticii, fiind nominalizat la CWA New Blood Dagger, și care impune o voce nouă în literatura polițistă. Nu există momente de respiro, doar o cursă contra cronometru sub amenințarea că lumina se va stinge din nou.

Mark Griffin is a thrilling new talent, destined to become a big name in British crime writing
Wow. I read this in less than a day. As many twists and turns as a rollercoaster! A fascinating lead character with a deliciously dark secret. It's the kind of writing which grabs you and won't let you go
Meticulously plotted and devious in its execution, Mark Griffin's debut novel is utterly compelling. I can't wait to read the rest of the Holly Wakefield series
