With more than fifteen million copies of her novels sold in Europe, Charlotte Link makes her chillingly psychological American debut, now in English for the first timeA suspenseful, atmospheric new psychological crime novel from Germany?s most successful living female author An old farm, a deserted landscape, a dark secret from times past with fatal consequences for the present. In the tranquil northern seaside town of Scarborough, a student is found cruelly murdered. For months, the investigators are in the dark, until they are faced with a copy-cat crime. The investigation continues as they struggle to establish a connection between the two victims. Ambitious detective Valerie Almond clings to the all too obvious: a rift within the family of the second victim. But there is far more to the case than first appears, and Valerie is led toward a dark secret inextricably linked to the evacuation of children to Scarborough during World War II. Horrified at her last-minute discovery, Valerie realizes that she may be too late to save the next victim.

"In der beschaulichen nordenglischen Küstenstadt Scarborough wird eine Studentin grausam erschlagen aufgefunden. Monatelang tappen Ermittler im Dunkeln - dann geschieht ein ähnliches Verbrechen. Ein Zusammenhang zwischen den beiden Opfern ist dennoch kaum herzustellen. Und die ehrgeizige Polizistin Valerie Almond klammert sich an das allzu Offensichtliche^: an ein Zerwürfnis innerhalb der Familie des zweiten Opfers. Lange Zeit ist ihr Blick jedoch verstellt für das Gift, das in dieser Familie wirkt - und dessen Ursprung sie bis weit in die Vergangenheit hinein zurückverfolgen müsste. Bis hin zu einer grausamen Entdeckung an einem kalten Dezembertag vor mehr als dreissig Jahren. Und sogar bis in die Jahre des zweiten Weltkriegs, als ein Kind auf geheimnisvolle Weise verschwand ... Es dauert fast zu lange, bis Valerie Almond begreift, dass ein kranker Täter seinen Hass und seinen Rachedurst noch nicht gestillt hat. Entsetzt erkennt sie, dass es für ihr Eingreifen schon zu spät sein könnte."
