Bränd mark
Pocket, Svenska, 2026
99 kr
När solen går ner en kall novemberkväll förbereder man sig på ön St Agnes för den årliga Guy Fawkes-festen. Men precis innan det är dags för de avslutande fyrverkerierna hittas en förkolnad kropp. En mördare finns mitt ibland dem.
Polischefen Ben Kitto tvingas till ett snabbt beslut. St Agnes isoleras och alla som befinner sig där förbjuds att lämna ön. Med en befolkning på bara åttio personer betyder det att alla öns invånare är misstänkta. Och ingen går säker. Men vem av dem är kapabel att döda, och varför?
När det börjar dyka upp hotfulla meddelanden, skrivna på det gamla korniska språket, misstänker Ben Kitto att mördarens motiv är att bli av med de nytillkomna som hotar öns traditioner. Nu är tiden knapp och han måste avslöja de mörka hemligheter som döljer sig bland öns invånare – innan ännu en brasa tänds och ännu ett liv går förlorat.
Bränd mark är den tredje delen i Kate Rhodes populära deckarserie om Ben Kitto, polischefen på Scillyöarna. Det här är atmosfärisk och spännande läsning som håller dig på helspänn till sista sidan.

Praise for the Alice Quentin series:
“A fast-moving, entertaining mix of sex, suspense and serial killings.” –Washington Post
“Alice is a vividly realized protagonist whose complex and harrowing history rivals the central crime storyline.” –New York Times bestselling author Sophie Hannah
Jude Shelley, daughter of a prominent cabinet minister, had her whole life ahead of her until she was attacked and left to drown in the Thames. Miraculously, she survived. A year later, her family is now asking psychologist Alice Quentin to re-examine the case.
But then a body is found: an elderly priest, attacked in Battersea, washed up at Westminster Pier. An ancient glass bead is tied to his wrist.
Alice is certain that Jude and her family are hiding something, but unless she can persuade them to share what they know, more victims will come.
Because the Thames has always been a site of sacrifice and death.
And Alice is about to learn that some people still believe in it…
