The Sleepless Ones: Guillermo Downes Thriller, cartea 3
Autor James Marrisonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 sep 2016
A gruesome find
An abandoned car by a ramshackle Cotswold farm draws the attention of local police officers. When DCI Guillermo Downes arrives at the farmhouse he finds a sickening scene of devastation and destruction.
A desperate search
Now Downes has a murder investigation to run and almost nothing to go on.
A cover up spanning decades
At first Downes - and his right hand man Sergeant Graves - struggle to find answers. But as they follow the threads of this brutal murder they find a stack of photographs of missing boys.
This case is bigger than Downes and Graves ever expected, and as they close in on the truth they uncover a conspiracy that goes right to the heart of the British establishment itself.

Recenzii
DARK,
GRIPPING
AND
UNEXPECTED
An Argentinian DCI in the heart of middle Englandbrings a thoughtful outsider's viewpoint to a murder that has troubling links to unsolved crimes from the past. Guillermo Downes'sintelligent, intuitive policeworkkeeps the pages turning
An intriguing debut. . . the plot [has] a strength and texture that help set it apart . . .Taut and told with panache, it ushers in a suitably spiky police hero
Marrison'stense debut expertly evokes a sense of place. . . the highly unusual denouement will catch most readers by surprise
A gripping thriller. . . areadable,complextale,astutely paced. . . If the mark of a good whodunnit is that you can't actually guess whodunnit, thenThe Drowning Grounddoes its job well. Despite following the plot closely,I was still taken aback by the denouement
Move over Morse
With anintricate plot with numerous twistsand an intriguing cop with a complex history, Marrison rivets the reader straight through to the novel's chilling conclusion.An author to watch, he scores high with this impressive debut
An assured début whichpromises much for the future
So many characters with so many secrets and deviant behaviours make this début mystery by James Marrison a real winner.The author's complex plotting, haunted characters, and gorgeous descriptions of winter are an absolute joy to read even as the action takes one suspenseful turn, then another and then another to an unexpected denouement. When it seems as though all the clues have been resolved, Marrison saves one last shocking revelation for the final chapter.. . . Expertly setting us up for the next chapter in the series ( I can't wait!), Marrison writes lovingly of his new hero, Guillermo Downes, a detective plagued by demons both internal and external yet determined to expose murder most foul whenever and wherever he can
A masterful novel. . . The protagonists are wonderfully portrayed. Downes is a bit of a mystery, a man born in Buenos Aires of a Argentinian mother and an English father. What led him to leave his homeland and make a life for himself in this small English town? Perhaps the answer will be revealed in the next novel in the series, something I'm eagerly anticipating
