Tana French

”Minä tiedän kuka hänet tappoi.”Salapaikassa on psykologista piinaa ja älykästä rikostutkintaa yhdistävän sarjan viides osa, sukellus hyväosaisten nuorten päänsisäiseen pimeyteen.Poliisi Stephen Moran on kiihdyksissään: nuoren Chris Harperin tapaus näyttää vihdoin avaavan hänelle tien Dublinin murharyhmään. Poika löydettiin vuotta aiemmin murhattuna kalliin yksityisen tyttökoulun mailta. Kun rikosylikonstaapeli Antoinette Conway lähtee käymään koululla ja avaa tutkinnan uudelleen, Moran tarttuu tilaisuuteen. Mutta tyttökoulun klaustrofobiseen, etuoikeutettuun maailmaan kätkeytyy julmuutta ja salaperäisyyttä, jota poliisit eivät ole osanneet kuvitella. Teini-ikäisten tyttöjen ystävyyssuhteiden takana vaikuttavat tiukka arvojärjestys, valtataistelu ja kaikkein vaarallisimmat, tarkoin varjellut salaisuudet.Amerikkalais-irlantilainen Tana French (s. 1973) on kirjoittanut yhdeksän romaania, joita on myyty yli kahdeksan miljoonaa kappaletta. Lukuisia palkintoja keränneessä Dublinin murhat -sarjassa ovat suomeksi ilmestyneet Pimennossa, Ilmetty, Umpikuja ja Hylkymaa. Suomessakin suosittu tv-sarja Dublin Murders - Tappaja Dublinissa perustuu Frenchin romaaneihin.

Former Chicago cop Cal Hooper has settled into life in a small Irish village, restoring furniture with his young friend Trey and sharing occasional nights with the fiercely independent Lena. But the reappearance of Trey's feckless father sends fissures through the fragile bonds of family that have started to form between the three of them - and brings a new threat to the town itself. So just how much will they compromise to protect - and avenge - the people they love?

The New York Times bestselling novel by Tana French, author of the forthcoming novel The Hunter, is "required reading for anyone who appreciates tough, unflinching intelligence and ingenious plotting" (The New York Times). She "inspires cultic devotion in readers" (The New Yorker) and is "the most important crime novelist to emerge in the past 10 years" (The Washington Post). "Atmospheric and unputdownable." --People In bestselling author Tana French's newest "tour de force" (The New York Times), being on the Murder Squad is nothing like Detective Antoinette Conway dreamed it would be. Her partner, Stephen Moran, is the only person who seems glad she's there. The rest of her working life is a stream of thankless cases, vicious pranks, and harassment. Antoinette is savagely tough, but she's getting close to the breaking point. Their new case looks like yet another by-the-numbers lovers' quarrel gone bad. Aislinn Murray is blond, pretty, groomed-to-a-shine, and dead in her catalog-perfect living room, next to a table set for a romantic dinner. There's nothing unusual about her--except that Antoinette's seen her somewhere before. And that her death won't stay in its neat by-numbers box. Other detectives are trying to push Antoinette and Steve into arresting Aislinn's boyfriend, fast. There's a shadowy figure at the end of Antoinetteʼs road. Aislinnʼs friend is hinting that she knew Aislinn was in danger. And everything they find out about Aislinn takes her further from the glossy, passive doll she seemed to be. Antoinette knows the harassment has turned her paranoid, but she can't tell just how far gone she is. Is this case another step in the campaign to force her off the squad, or are there darker currents flowing beneath its polished surface?

"Hailed as the queen of Irish crime fiction, French spins a taut tale of retribution, sacrifice, and family."--TIME It's a blazing summer when two men arrive in a small village in the West of Ireland.

He's found it, more or less: he's built a relationship with a local woman, Lena, and he's gradually turning Trey Reddy from a half-feral teenager into a good kid going good places. But then Trey's long-absent father reappears, bringing along an English millionaire and a scheme to find gold in the townland, and suddenly everything the three of them have been building is under threat.

Andra boken i serien om Cal Hooper »En av vår tids bästa kriminalförfattare.« Ian Rankin Det är en brännande het sommardag när de två männen anländer till det lilla samhället. De är där för att leta guld, men vad de för med sig är trubbel. Det har gått två år sedan den pensionerade polisen Cal Hooper flyttade från Chicago till västra Irland på jakt efter en lugnare tillvaro. Han har mer eller mindre lyckats – dels genom sitt förhållande med Lena, men också genom det nära band han knutit till den halvt urspårade tonåringen Trey. När de två männen dyker upp med sina förhoppningar om snabba pengar är Cal därför redo att kliva in för att skydda Trey. Den ena av männen är nämligen ingen främling: Han är Treys far. Det visar sig dock snart att Trey inte alls vill ha något beskydd. Han vill ha hämnd. I översättning av Åsa Brolin.

Tutkimusten edetessä paljastuu kuitenkin, että tapauksessa mikään ei ole tyypillistä.
