* THE HUGELY ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO THE SMASH-HIT BESTSELLER, THE APPEAL * A New Play. Another Murder. Who Will Speak the Truth? It's a new theatrical season in Lower Lockwood, and the amateur thespians of the Fairway Players are starting rehearsals for their production of Agatha Christie's The Hollow. Despite divisive new arrivals, countless petty jealousies and a near-fatal accident with the lighting rig, surely this will be their greatest show to date? But someone isn't going to make it to opening night. Could it be producer Sarah-Jane's mysterious sister, lately arrived home after twenty years abroad? New member Lucas, whose shady business dealings may be his downfall? Or perhaps once-convicted murderer Issy Beck, recently acquitted but still up to her old tricks? Lawyers Charlotte and Femi must sift through the emails, texts and police reports to identify the victim and find out why the person convicted of the murder refuses to speak out in their own defence... Will they uncover the truth in time? Will you?

True crime -toimittajat pahojen enkelien jäljillä. Onnistuuko toimittajakaksikko selvittämään totuuden uhkaavasta kultista ja sen karismaattisesta johtajasta - entä onnistutko sinä? Hallettin moderni dekkari tarjoaa piinaavaa jännitystä uudenlaisessa muodossa. Tästä tallelokerosta löydät haastatteluja ja muuta taustamateriaalia, johon juuri julkaistu paljastuskirja Alpertonin enkelien omituisesta kultista pohjautuu. Kultti on sekaantunut paitsi viattoman vauvan uhrausyritykseen myös useisiin murhiin. Tehtäväsi on lukea materiaali ja tehdä vaikea päätös: joko voit piilottaa nivaskan paikkaan josta sitä ei ikinä löydetä - tai sitten voit kiidättää sen suorinta tietä poliisille. Harkitse tarkkaan, sillä väärällä vaihtoehdolla on vaarallisemmat seuraukset kuin osaat kuvitellakaan. "Tämä nerokas kirja on kuin palapeli." THE NEW YORK TIMES "Pirullisen hyvä tarina...

From "modern Agatha Christie" (The Sunday Times, London) Janice Hallett, a follow-up to her blockbuster debut novel The Appeal, featuring the Fairway Players as they put on Agatha Christie's play The Hollow and find themselves embroiled in murder, blackmail, and betrayal once again. Welcome back to Lower Lockwood. The Fairway Players return with Sarah-Jane and Kevin MacDonald as committee cochairs. This year, they have chosen to stage Agatha Christie's The Hollow. But auditions aren't their only problem: Sarah-Jane's sister, Nicky-Rose, is suddenly back in town under mysterious circumstances, having sold her home in Barbados, left her business providing entertainment on cruise ships, and moved back into their mother Carol's house. As always, they're short on men, and new Player Fran Elroy-Jones enlists a young married couple and the husband's cousin to join. But no one wants to play the part of the hated Gerda, leaving Kevin and Sarah-Jane with no option but to reach out to an old member they know would be happy to perform in any role. As with any production, tensions run high, and our intrepid lawyers Femi and Charlotte are tasked with uncovering exactly what happened on the opening night of The Hollow--and whether the correct person has taken the blame.

En av Englands mest hyllade deckarförfattare för första gången på svenska »Skarpt, finurligt och fullkomligt beroendeframkallande.« Mail On Sunday I den sömniga småstaden Lower Lockwood sätter teaterföreningen upp Arthur Millers All My Sons– samtidigt som hela bygden mobiliseras för insamlingen A Cure for Poppy, till förmån för en tvååring med en sällsynt hjärntumör. Snart flödar mejl, sms, affischer och inlägg – och med dem växer misstankar, konflikter och sprickor i fasaderna. När tragedin slår till står en person död och en annan bakom galler. Men något skaver. Två unga juristpraktikanter får ett tjockt kuvert av en framstående brittisk stjärnadvokat och ombeds »läsa allt – från början«. Genom enbart dokument – e-post, chattar, cirkulär, urklipp och bilagor – tvingas de (och läsaren) lägga pusslet: Vem ljuger? Vem spelar? Och vad döljer sig egentligen bakom kulisserna? I översättning av Sanna Gillberg. JANICE HALLETT är en bästsäljande brittisk författare med en rad deckare bakom sig som fått henne att kallas en Agatha Christie för 2000-talet. Mord i kulisserna [The Appeal] är den första av hennes böcker som kommer ut på svenska, och den första av två böcker som utspelar sig i den fiktiva småstaden Lower Lockwood.
