The chalk girl

"The eight-year-old girl appeared in New York's Central Park one day: red-haired, blue-eyed, dirty-faced, smiling widely. She looked perfect, like a porcelain fairy - except for the blood on her shoulder. It fell from the sky, she said, while she was looking for her uncle Red, who turned into a tree. Right, they thought, poor child. And then they found the body in the tree." -- Back cover

  • "Der neue Krimibestseller der amerikanischen Kultautorin! Im Central Park wird ein Mädchen aufgegriffen. Rote Haare, blaue Augen, blasses Gesicht. Wie eine Porzellanpuppe. Wären da nicht die Blutspuren auf ihren Schultern. Vom Himmel sei das Blut gekommen, erklärt sie den Polizisten. Als sie nach ihren Onkel Red gesucht habe. Armes verwirrtes Kind! Doch dann entdeckt man sie: die Leiche, die im Baum hängt. Detective Mallory, die sich des Falles annimmt, erkennt eine verletzte Seele, wenn sie einer begegnet. Und das seltsame Mädchen scheint mehr erlebt zu haben, als alle vermuten. Bald ermittelt die toughe Mallory in einem Dickicht aus Gewalt, Geheimnissen und psychischer Abhängigkeit. Carol O'Connell, geboren 1947, lebt in New York. Sie ist die Autorin mehrerer Bestseller und schuf mit Kathleen Mallory eine der originellsten und bestechendsten Detektivfiguren in der Kriminalliteratur. Nach ihrem Kunststudium stellte Carol O'Connell jahrelang surrealistische Gemälde in Cafés aus und finanzierte ihren Unterhalt mit Gelegenheitsjobs, bevor sie sich 1995 mit ihrem Debütroman 'Ein Ort zum Sterben' in die Spitzenriege der Krimiautorinnen schrieb."
