1000 tulosta hakusanalla Gideon Wulff
From the author of Illegal Motion comes another thrilling and suspenseful story of Gideon Page as he returns home to defend a man accused of a contract killing, only to discover the killer had been hired by the man who once destroyed Gideon's own family. Haunted by the past, Gideon Page, a former social worker turned lawyer, is offered a shot of redemption and revenge when he is hired onto a case of murder in his hometown of Bear Creek in the Arkansas Delta. When a Black man is accused of killing Willie Ting, his Chinese-American employer, it becomes apparent that the killing is assumed to be under the orders of a wealthy white man whose offer to buy Ting's meat-packing plant was refused. Realizing too late that the man who contracted the killing is the same one responsible for his father's suicide, Gideon finds himself caught between his professional instincts and his personal desires as he takes on a case that is more complicated and dangerous than he ever imagined.

In the house on the hill, there lives a vampire. But not of the sexy, mysterious, or sparkling kind. The vampire Gideon prefers to drink nearly expired blood from the local morgue while watching over the humans around him—humans he calls “children,” because when you’re as old as he is, everyone else does seem like a child. And so many of these children are prepared to throw their lives away over problems that, in Gideon’s view, appear rather trivial. He sets about trying to fix them by means of an unofficial, do-it-yourself suicide hotline. He's sure that he's making a difference, maybe even righting the mistakes of his past. Then one day a troubled young girl calls, and his (undead) life gets turned upside down. Before he knows it, he’s got a surly, tech-addicted teenage roommate—and, at long last, he begins to grow up.
** "Set in 1836, Fergus's superior sequel . . . brings the period to life as he expertly melds setting and plot." Starred Publishers Weekly ** For Fans of Madeline Miller and Geraldine Brooks, and Historical Mysteries Involving Witchcraft, Second Sight, and Amish, Mennonite, and Pennsylvania Dutch Communities. In this thrilling second in the Gideon Stoltz Mystery series that Booklist called "An appealing debut that deserves a boost from enthusiastic hand-sellers," it's now 1836 in the fast-growing town of Adamant. The young Pennsylvania Dutch sheriff Gideon has a new case when a beautiful woman--suspected of witchcraft and residing in a nearby German settlement--is murdered. Suffering from a head injury after a fall off his horse, Gideon can't recall anything that happened at the time of the woman's death. As flashes of memory return, he realizes that not only did he know the victim, he was with her the night she died. As Gideon delves into the investigation, he must include himself in the list of suspects. When Gideon uncovers another dead body, he's launched on a path to discover the truth, no matter the outcome. Gideon's estranged wife, True, has her own reluctant methods of investigation. Gifted with unwelcome powers of second sight, True realizes that her husband's life is in danger--and puts her own life on the line to save him. Nighthawk's Wing unflinchingly examines the oppressed status of women in the 1830 and like the first in the series, it has "an atmospheric setting and a strong sense of place" (Library Journal). Nighthawk's Wing beckons all readers who crave authenticity in early American historical novels, including those intrigued by witchcraft, spells, and visions. This compelling mystery glides along the edge between the gritty reality of the early 1800s and --a parallel world of spirits and haunted souls.
