Awakening

Disfigured by a childhood accident, veterinary surgeon Clara Benning generally prefers the company of animals to people. But when a local man dies following a supposed snakebite, Cara's expertise is needed. She's chilled to learn that the victim's postmortem shows a higher concentration of venom than could ever be found in a single snake--and therefore the killer must be human.

  • "Clara Benning, a veterinary surgeon in charge of a wildlife hospital in a small English village, is young and intelligent, but nearly a recluse. Disfigured by a childhood accident, she generally prefers the company of animals to people. But when a local man dies following a supposed snakebite, Clara's expertise is needed. She's chilled to learn that the victim's postmortem shows a higher concentration of venom than could ever be found in a single snake'and that therefore the killer must be human. Assisted by a soft-spoken neighbor and an eccentric reptile expert, Clara unravels sinister links to an abandoned house, an ancient ritual, and a fifty-year-old tragedy that has left the survivors secretive. But for someone the truth must remain buried in the past'even if they have to kill to keep it there. Awakening is a disturbing tale of dark secrets and insidious rituals that will have readers unable to stop for a breath until they've reach the stunning climax of this extraordinary read from the author of the acclaimed debut novel Sacrifice."@en
  • "Die Wahrheit tut nicht weh. Sie tötet. Der Schrecken beginnt an einem friedlichen Morgen in einem idyllischen englischen Dorf: Im Bett eines Säuglings wird eine Schlange entdeckt und die junge Tierärztin Clara Benning zu Hilfe gerufen. Es ist der Beginn einer wahren Schlangenplage, bei der es auch zu rätselhaften Todesfällen kommt. Auf der Suche nach einer Erklärung stösst Clara auf eine Spur, die fünfzig Jahre in die Vergangenheit führt. Doch die Menschen, die wissen, was damals geschah, schweigen eisern. Bis die Wahrheit mit tödlicher Macht ans Licht drängt ... Sharon Bolton wurde im englischen Lancashire geboren, hat eine Schauspielausbildung absolviert und Theaterwissenschaft studiert. 'Todesopfer', ihr erster Roman, wurde von Lesern und Presse begeistert gefeiert und machte die Autorin über Nacht zum neuen Star unter den britischen Spannungsautorinnen. Ihrem ersten Triumph folgten mittlerweile fünf weitere Thriller, mit denen Sharon Bolton ihr brillantes Können immer wieder unter Beweis stellte. So wurde 'Schlangenhaus' als bester Thriller des Jahres mit dem Mary Higgins Clark Award ausgezeichnet. Die Autorin lebt mit ihrem Mann und ihrem Sohn in Oxford."
