  • "Miles Flint arbeitet für den britischen Geheimdienst MI5. Sein Job besteht darin, Menschen zu observieren, und er liebt diese Arbeit, die ihm Einblick in die privatesten Momente seiner Opfer gewährt. Doch nun sind ihm kurz hintereinander zwei Fehler unterlaufen, einer sogar mit tödlichen Folgen. Seine Vorgesetzten geben Miles noch eine letzte Chance, sich zu rehabilitieren. Doch der vermeintlich ungefährliche Einsatz entpuppt sich als Falle - eine Falle, in die ihn nur Verräter aus den eigenen Reihen gelockt haben können ... Ian Rankin, geboren 1960, ist Grossbritanniens führender Krimiautor, seine Romane sind aus den internationalen Bestsellerlisten nicht mehr wegzudenken. Ian Rankin wurde unter anderem mit dem Gold Dagger für 'Das Souvenir des Mörders', dem Edgar Allan Poe Award für 'Tore der Finsternis' und dem Deutschen Krimipreis für 'Die Kinder des Todes' ausgezeichnet. 'So soll er sterben' und 'Im Namen der Toten' erhielten jeweils als bester Spannungsroman des Jahres den renommierten British Book Award. Für seine Verdienste um die Literatur wurde Ian Rankin mit dem 'Order of the British Empire' ausgezeichnet. Mit 'Ein Rest von Schuld' hatte Ian Rankin seinen Ermittler John Rebus nach 17 Fällen in den Ruhestand geschickt und liess Inspector Malcolm Fox die Bühne betreten. Doch in 'Mädchengrab' meldet sich Rebus wieder zurück. Ian Rankin lebt mit seiner Frau und seinen beiden Söhnen in Edinburgh."

  • "Bombs are exploding in the streets of London, but life seems to have planted more subtle booby-traps for Miles Flint. Miles is a spy. His job is to watch and to listen, then to report back to his superiors, nothing more. The job, affording glimpses into the most private lives of his victims, appeals to Miles. He doesn't lust after promotion, and he doesn't want action. He wants, just for once, not to botch a case. Having lost one suspect--with horrific consequences--Miles becomes too involved with another, a young Irishwoman. His marriage seems ready to crumble to dust. So does his home. But Miles is given one last chance for redemption, a trip to Belfast, which quickly becomes a flight of terror, murder and shocking discoveries."

  • "From #1 international bestseller Ian Rankin, an unlucky spy gets one last chance at redemption. Miles Flint is a spy who has been making some serious mistakes. His last assignment led to the death of a foreign official in London, and after getting too close to his current subject he wound up in police custody. But something is wrong at the agency that has nothing to do with Miles' errors. Why did his last suspect know more about Miles' assignment than Miles did' Why have so many operatives recently resigned' Despite the Director's assurances, Miles begins his own investigation, to the dismay of his colleagues and even his own wife. Then Miles is sent to Belfast on a routine mission, a mission that confirms his darkest suspicions--and threatens his life."@en
