The Sleeping and the Dead de Jeff Crook

The Sleeping and the Dead: Jackie Lyons Mysteries

Autor Jeff Crook
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 iun 2013

Jackie Lyons, a former vice detective with the Memphis Police Department, is trying to put her life back together. Her husband has served her with divorce papers, she's broke, and her apartment has just gone up in flames. But a failed marriage, unemployment, and an incinerated home aren't her only problems: she also sees ghosts.

Since Jackie left her job with the MPD, she's been making ends meet by photographing crime scenes for her old friends on the force, and for the occasional collector. When she's called to the murder scene of the famed Memphis Playhouse Killer's latest victim, she starts seeing crime scenes from a different perspective-- her new camera captures spectral images. As her camera brings her ghostly visitors into sharper relief, it also points her toward clues the ex-detective in her won't let go: Did the man she just started dating kill his wife? Is the Playhouse Killer someone in her inner circle?

As Jackie works to separate natural from supernatural, friend from foe, and light from dark, the spirit world and her own difficult past become the only things she can depend on to solve the case.

The Sleeping and the Dead is a Jackie Lyons Mystery from Jeff Crook.

Recenzii

"Crook brings the world of the dead and the living together perfectly in this captivating mystery starring one of the most wonderful, unlikely protagonists I've come across. Jackie Lyons is a flat-out train wreck -- an ex-cop turned crime scene photographer battling addiction who happens to see dead people. You will love her, not in spite of her faults and demons, but because of them." --Jennifer McMahon, "New York Times "bestselling author of "Promise Not to Tell" and "Don't Breathe a Word ""A fun, spooky ride." "--"Tom Franklin, Edgar Award-winning author of "Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter" "There is no killing me softly in this hardboiled song from a southern city sinking into the abyss; a terrific tale hammered down on filthy keys in a lost bar."--Ake Edwardson, author of "Sail of Stone ""Read "The Sleeping and the Dead" and you may never buy a camera from a stranger."--Pieter Aspe, author of "The Square of Revenge ""Crook deftly explores the human fascination with the macabre at the same time he draws attention to the reader's own voyeuristic impulses." --"Publisher's Weekly ""[Crook's] first mystery sets a high standard." -"Associated Press "
"Want a ghost story/crime story/police procedural/Shakespeare lesson all twisted - really twisted - into one page-turner? See The Sleeping and the Dead.""--The Memphis Flyer ""A suspenseful blend of the supernatural and crime fiction. Jackie Lyons is a strong female detective." --"Mississippi "
"This series starter should go right to the top of all bestseller lists. It is very well written, with fresh new characters, an unusual atmosphere and setting and an explosive ending. Crook's voice is well developed although this is his first mystery . . . An excellent read that you won't be able to put down.""--Romantic Times Book Reviews, Top Pick"
"A dark and creepy mystery with a brave but deeply flawed heroine. A promising series kickoff." -"Kirkus"
