Una casa arde en Oxford… y sus cenizas ocultan una verdad terrible.
Las apacibles calles de Oxford se encuentran en plenas celebraciones navideñas, cuando un incendio irrumpe en la oscuridad de la noche. Los bomberos se afanan en apagarlo y logran localizar a dos niños. Pero todos se preguntan dónde están los padres, y más aún cuando se confirma que el incendio fue provocado.
Cara Hunter vuelve con una nueva entrega de la serie del inspector Adam Fawley, que deberá descubrir quién ha provocado el fatídico siniestro y por qué. Tras ¿Quién se ha llevado a Daisy Mason? y El sótano de Oxford, este es, sin duda, el caso más aterrador al que deberá enfrentarse el detective.

Scandale à Oxford... La prestigieuse université d'Oxford est en effervescence.

Caleb Morgan, étudiant au physique athlétique, accuse de viol Marina Fisher, une professeure influente à la renommée internationale, spécialiste dans le domaine de l'intelligence artificielle. Celle-ci aurait abusé de son étudiant à son domicile, alors qu'il s'occupait de son fils.

L'enquête piétine et l'équipe d'Adam Fawley est mise à rude épreuve : lequel d'entre eux ne dit pas toute la vérité ?

La carrière d'Adam Fawley est en jeu, et il est bientôt dépassé par la pression médiatique autour de cette affaire. D'autant plus que sa femme est sur le point d'accoucher et que l'homme qui l'avait agressée des années plus tôt, vient tout juste de sortir de prison...

Zwei packende Krimis von Cara Hunter in einem E-Book!

Sie finden dich nie.

Ein Mädchen verschwindet – und niemand hat etwas gesehen. Daisy, die achtjährige Tochter der Masons, verschwindet bei einer Party spurlos vom Grundstück der Eltern. Sofort beginnt die Polizei mit den Ermittlungen. Partygäste, Nachbarn, Mitschülerinnen – jeder scheint verdächtig, aber nirgends findet sich eine Spur des Mädchens. Detective Inspector Adam Fawley gerät in ein Netz aus Widersprüchen und Beschuldigungen, doch das Mädchen bleibt verschwunden. Erst als er weiter zurückgeht in die Vergangenheit der Familie, scheint sich ein düsteres Geheimnis zu offenbaren ...

In the Dark - Keiner weiß, wer sie sind.

Keiner weiß, wer sie sind. Bei Renovierungsarbeiten finden Handwerker in einem Kellerraum eine junge Frau und einen zweijährigen Jungen, kaum noch am Leben. Niemand hat sie als vermisst gemeldet, und der ältere Mann, dem das Haus gehört, behauptet, die beiden nie zuvor gesehen zu haben. DI Adam Fawley übernimmt die Ermittlungen und stößt auf den Fall einer jungen Frau, die vor zwei Jahren mit ihrem Sohn verschwunden ist. Das Kind wurde schließlich in einem Kinderwagen gefunden, doch von der Mutter fehlt seither jede Spur. Gibt es einen Zusammenhang zwischen den beiden Frauen?

»Twist folgt auf Twist, und das in einem atemberaubenden Tempo.« Daily Mail.

La première victime est rarement la dernière...

La brigade criminelle d'Oxford est en effervescence : une jeune fille a été enlevée en pleine rue. Adam Fawley en a vu d'autres, pourtant cette affaire ne ressemble à rien de connu. L'agresseur de Faith Appleford lui a mis un sac sur la tête avant de la séquestrer dans un endroit isolé. L'adolescente a réussi à échapper par miracle, mais contre toute attente, elle refuse de porter plainte. Sans preuves supplémentaires, la police est contrainte de classer l'affaire. L'inspecteur Erica Somer, qui mène les interrogatoires, a une intime conviction : la victime connaissait son agresseur.

L'enquête piétine et on craint le pire : l'homme qui s'en est pris à Faith risque fort de se trouver une nouvelle proie, et elle n'aura peut-être pas autant de chance que la première...
