99 kr
En man han trodde var död, ett telefonsamtal som förändrar allt och en hemlighet som borde förbli begravd … På grund av ett ödesdigert beslut under en utredning har kommissarie Matt Lockyer förvisats på obestämd tid till avdelningen för ouppklarade brott i Wiltshire. Har har i alla fall kommit närmare sina föräldrar som börjar bli äldre, och får möjlighet att undersöka vissa fall som håller honom vaken om nätterna. Ett av dem är det meningslösa mordet på hans bror, som förblivit ouppklarat och ständigt upptar hans tankar. En eftermiddag får Lockyer ett samtal från fängelset från Hedy Lambert, kvinnan han satte dit för mord fjorton år tidigare. Hon berättar att mannen som hon dömts för att ha mördat nu dykt upp igen – i högsta grad levande – och bönfaller Lockyer att öppna utredningen igen. Lockyer kommer ihåg henne och trots att han var den som listade ut motivet för mordet har han alltid haft svårt att innerst inne tro att hon var den skyldiga. Men kanske har fallet blivit för personligt och är det möjligt att han blivit manipulerad? Vissa saker borde kanske bara förbli begravda … Förbli begravd är den första delen i den hyllade deckarserien om Kommissarie Lockyer, perfekt för dig som älskar Ann Cleeves, Peter May, Din tid kommer och En bondes död. Kate Webb är uppvuxen i Hampshire men har bott i såväl London som Venedig. Förbli begravd är hennes deckardebut som omedelbart hyllades av såväl kritiker, författare och läsare. Webb skriver även bästsäljande historiska romaner som Katherine Webb, vilka har översatts till över tjugofem språk."En riktig läsfest för deckarälskare." Expressen Söndag "Imponerande och ovanlig deckare där en kommissarie försöker stilla sitt eget samvete genom att utreda ett gammalt knivmord på nytt." Ninni Schulman“Massor med intressanta karaktärer, miljöer och en nästan överintelligent intrigkonstruktion med ett överdåd av sprängda hemligheter och helt överraskande vändningar; multipla upplösningar är inte ovanliga men kanske finns det någon sorts rekord här. Verkligt underhållande läsning!” Anders Kapp, Kapprakt "Intrigen är välskriven och skickligt sammanvävd. Jag läste boken med stor behållning." Gunilla Cederström, DAST Magazine “En tät, välskriven berättelse med ett brokigt persongalleri och en stämning som fångar Wiltshires karga verklighet.” Anna Thurfjell, BTJ-häftet “Ett underbart nytt tillskott inom samtida deckare: självsäkert berättande, insiktsfullt, engagerande karaktärer, och fullständigt briljanta intriger.” Ann Cleeves “Välskriven och skickligt uttänkt ’vem gjorde det’-berättelse.” The Guardian

Vad döljer sig i jorden på Salisbury Plain? Efter ett kraftigt skyfall hittas kvarlevorna av en ung man som varit spårlöst försvunnen i nio år. Det mesta tyder på en olycka, men kommissarie Matt Lockyer, på enheten för kalla fall, är inte övertygad. Samma år som mannen försvann förhördes han i samband med ett mord på en ung flicka, och Lockyer misstänker att fallen hänger ihop. Tillsammans med kriminalassistent Gemma Broad börjar han gräva i det förflutna – och upptäckterna de gör pekar entydigt åt ett håll. Snart blir de dock varse att ingenting är vad det verkar. Hur djupt ska de behöva gräva för att få fram sanningen? I jord gömd är en suggestiv och fängslande deckare som utspelar sig i mytomspunna Wiltshire i södra Englands inland, och är den andra, fristående delen i serien om Kommissarie Lockyer.”Utöver alla andra kvalitéer finns här också ett befriande skamlöst överdåd, ibland fungerar extra allt inte alls men med rätt författare vid tangentbordet kan det bli underbar läsning.” KappraktKate Webb är uppvuxen i Hampshire men har bott i såväl London som Venedig. Förbli begravd var hennes deckardebut som omedelbart hyllades av såväl kritiker som författare.

“Occult happenings, romantic passion, and murder disrupt the peace of a Berkshire village in 1911 in this hauntingly good novel.”—Marie Claire (UK)
Katherine Webb’s debut novel, The Legacy, was an international bestseller—and her remarkable second effort, The Unseen, is as gripping, thrilling, and unforgettable as her first. In this compelling story of love, deception, obsession, and illusion, the arrival of two dangerous strangers in a small village in England in the early 1900s disrupts the quiet lives of a vicar with a fascination with spiritualism and his naïve young wife, and ultimately leads to murder. The Unseen is literary suspense at its most entertaining and enthralling, truly superior fiction not unlike the captivating tales of Kate Morton and Diane Setterfield.
