Sterbenskalt

No one explores characters more ruthlessly, no one draws readers deeper into the atmosphere: the third crime novel set in Ireland by the young Irish writer Tana French.

Frank Mackey, an undercover investigator, has not seen his family for 22 years. The four siblings, the alcoholic, violent father, the rough mother. He wanted to escape the poverty and hopelessness of his neighborhood forever, along with his first great love, Rosie. But she stood him up and left for England alone, or at least that’s what Frank always thought. Until Rosie’s suitcase and her ferry tickets are found in the old abandoned house on the street of his childhood. Frank must return to Faithful Place and realize that he has always carried this dark place within him.

"This crime novel has the weight of an ancient tragedy and is at the same time one of the most thrilling of the book year." Sächsische Zeitung
