ANDRA BOKEN i succéserien om kommissarie McLean.»Suggestiv skräck och ruskigt spännande realism i en ovanligt lyckad kombination.« | LOTTA OLSSON, DNDe döda är begravda, men ondskan är inte glömd...Varje jul under tio år hittas en ung kvinnas kropp i Edinburgh. Mördarens tillvägagångssätt är identiskt från jul till jul: De döda kvinnorna placeras ut i olika vattendrag, nakna, noggrant rengjorda och med ett rakt snitt över halsen. Tio år, tio kvinnor.Det sista offret, Kirsty Summers, var den dåvarande kriminalassistenten Tony McLeans fästmö. Men detta år, 1999, begick julmördaren ett misstag; i källaren under ett antikvariat fann McLean den makabra tortyrkammare där kvinnorna bragts om livet och kunde till sist sätta stopp för Donald Andersons blodiga framfart.Tio år senare blir Anderson mördad i fängelset. Men när julen börjar närma sig hittas ännu ett kvinnolik och mordet bär alla julmördarens kännetecken. McLean är övertygad om att han har att göra med en copycat-mördare, men kan samtidigt inte värja sig för den oundvikliga frågan: Satte han dit fel man?Motvilligt måste McLean återvända till sitt livs mest plågsamma fall och försöka få klarhet i vad han missat tio år tidigare.JAMES OSWALD är en brittisk författare vars kriminalromaner om kommissarie McLean har hyllats av såväl kritiker som läsare.

Första boken i succéserien om kommissarie McLean! »En litterär sensation!« | DAILY MAIL»Lysande inledning på serien om den skotske kommissarien Tony McLean i Edinburgh.« | LOTTA OLSSON, DNEn ung flickas vanställda kropp hittas i ett igenbommat källarrum. Runt kroppen har sex inre organ placerats ut i en cirkel, och allt tyder på att flickan har offrats i någon form av makaber ritual. Händelsen tycks ha ägt rum för närmare sextio år sedan.För den nytillsatte kriminalkommissarien Tony McLean i Edinburgh är detta ett »cold case« som borde ges låg prioritet men McLean kan inte sluta tänka på offret och hennes ohyggliga död.Samtidigt plågas Edinburgh av en hel rad bestialiska mord. Det är dödsfall som inte uppvisar någon rimlig logik, och Edinburghpolisen står handfallen.Till sin förvåning upptäcker McLean att de nya morden på något sätt tycks vara kopplade till det ceremoniella mordet i källaren. En egendomlig, till synes irrationell teori börjar sakta ta form. JAMES OSWALD är en brittisk författare vars kriminalromaner om kommissarie McLean har hyllats av såväl kritiker som läsare.

I can almost guarantee you won't stop at one' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ READER REVIEWInspector Tony McLean is called to a routine break-in at Drake BioTech, a trendsetting Edinburgh start-up at the cutting edge of DNA re-engineering. It's well below McLean's pay-grade, but given the extensive political connections of its eccentric owner Nathaniel Drake, he doesn't have a choice. Even if nothing appears to have been stolen. A missing person soon turns up dead with no signs of trauma or suggested cause of death, and still the police can find no connection between the strange events at play in the city. But when another victim is discovered cradling a small wooden box, McLean and DI Janie Harrison realise that this might be just the beginning of something even more sinister.What will those responsible do to finally get their hands on it? Or, more terrifying still, how much death and ruin might this unassuming object have in store?

Edinburgh Detective Inspector Tony McLean is drawn into a set of cases separated by six decades, but connected by a macabre and brutal ritual killing in the first entry of the Detective Inspector MacLean mystery series.A young girl''s mutilated body is discovered in a room that has lain sealed for the last sixty years. Her remains are carefully arranged in what seems to have been a macabre ritual. For newly appointed Edinburgh Detective Inspector Tony McLean, this baffling cold case ought to be a low priority, but he is haunted by the young victim and her grisly death. Meanwhile, the city is horrified by a series of bloody killings—deaths for which there appears to be neither rhyme nor reason, and which leave Edinburgh''s police at a loss. McLean is convinced that these deaths are somehow connected to the terrible ceremonial killing of the girl, all those years ago. It is an irrational theory. And one that will lead McLean closer to the heart of a terrifying and ancient evil . . .
