The Beach Hut Murders
DCI Lesley Clarke's two teams are in flux. The Major Crime Investigations Team has a new DI, and the Cold Cases team has a member back from parental leave. And Lesley herself is itching to get stuck into a case, instead of sitting behind a desk. When a body is found at the luxury beach huts on Mudeford Spit, the Cold Cases team know it's one of theirs, as the remains have been buried for over thirty years. But then evidence is found connecting a member of the Kelvin organised crime family, as well as Lesley's lawyer wife Elsa. Are Elsa’s ties to her former clients about to be revived? And will the new DI, with her experience of financial forensics, be able to solve the murder of local taxi driver Mark Ashforth and identify just which criminal gang are responsible? Most importantly, will Lesley find an opportunity to get her hands (and those walking boots) dirty?

A Halkirálynő újra akcióban!
Óvja, vigyázza a nyeregbe visszalendülő nyomozónőt, Denisa Wryt.
,,Lelövésem következményeként a főnökség főleg ,,családi jellegű gyilkossági ügyek" felderítésére kötelezett. Úgy határoztak, hogy hosszabb ideig nem engednek szervezett bűnözéssel kapcsolatos rémtettek közelébe. Szerintük azok túlontúl veszélyesek számomra. Szintén szerintük most még lazításra van szükségem, nehogy elkapjon a poszttraumás stressz-szindróma, szövődményképpen. (Mellesleg rég elkapott. Nem kötöm az orrukra.)
Oké, de akkor miért is küldtek a kisportolt macsókat is kidöglesztő rehabra? S vajon a kőkemény kiképzés terápia következtében nem lettem brutálisan túlképzett a (főleg) családi jellegű gyilkossági ügyekhez?
(Családi gyilkosság? Ez nem oximoron? De az, ha elhisszük, hogy a család csupa áhítatos szeretet, egymás iránti odaadás és jóság. És nem oximoron, ha realisták vagyunk.)
Ami a saját famíliámat illeti, bizonyíthatóan legalább három generációra visszamenőleg nem fordult elő egymás (tettleges) gyilkolása. Verbálisan és trükkös módokon persze nyilván akadtak próbálkozások, végtére senki sem szentéletű, még a szentek sem, elég csak átbogarászni az életrajzukat, menten kiderül."
Denisára egyszerre két családi gyilkossági ügyet is bíznak, és azok mindegyre ágas-bogasodnak. Végül megállapítja, hogy az emberiség is egy nagy család.

MASOVÝ HROB JI PŘIVEDE NA STOPU ZVRÁCENÉHO VRAHA…
Když je v zamrzlém jezeře nedaleko Stillwateru nalezeno tělo sedmnáctileté Keshy Williamsové, je na místo přivolána zvláštní agentka FBI Nikki Huntová. Stopy po škrcení na krku oběti jasně vypovídají o tom, že se jedná o vraždu. Dívka byla navíc unesena ze stejného obchodního domu, ve kterém před rokem Nikkinu dceru ohrožoval sériový zabiják Mráz.
Policie je přesvědčena, že pachatelem je Keshin přítel Dion Johnson. Nikki si tím ale není tak jistá. Místo činu a chladnokrevný způsob usmrcení jasně ukazují na někoho, kdo nezabíjel poprvé. Její noční můra se naplní poté, co je v blízkosti jezera odkryt masový hrob.
Agentka je vržena do nemilosrdného závodu s časem. Zvrácený vrah totiž ve svém konání rozhodně nehodlá přestat a nejspíš už si stihl najít příští oběť. Dokáže ho Nikki vypátrat dříve, než bude pozdě?
Krimi thriller pro fanoušky Roberta Dugoniho, Karin Slaughter, Lisy Gardner a všechny čtenáře, kteří se od knihy rádi nedokážou odtrhnout.
