'It is a long time since I have read a debut as impressive as Laura McHugh's The Weight of Blood. It is a chilling portrait of a small town in the Ozarks where violent men are protected and young women vanish.' Joan Smith, The Sunday Times People still whisper about Lucy Daneâe(tm)s mother who vanished years ago from the town of Henbane, deep in the Ozark mountains. When one of Lucyâe(tm)s friends is found murdered, Lucy feels haunted by the two lost women: by the mother she never knew, and the friend she couldnâe(tm)t protect. But her search for answers, in a place where secrets are easily concealed, leads her to a chilling discovery. And with this revelation, she must grapple with the meaning of family, the secrets we keep, and the lengths we will go to protect the ones we love.
Sherlock Holmes pode solucionar um problema... mas Arrowood pode salvar sua vida. 1895: Londres está assustada. Um assassino assombra as ruas da cidade. Os pobres têm fome, os chefões do crime estão tomando controle e a polícia está operando além da sua capacidade. Enquanto os ricos se voltam para Sherlock Holmes, o celebrado detetive particular raramente visita as ruas densamente povoadas do Sul de Londres, onde os crimes são mais sujos e as pessoas são mais pobres. Em um canto escuro de Southwark, as vítimas recorrem a um homem que detesta Holmes, sua clientela rica e os espetáculos da sua abordagem forênsica: Arrowood — psicólogo autodidata, bêbado ocasional e investigador particular. Quando um homem desaparece misteriosamente e a melhor testemunha de Arrowood é brutalmente esfaqueada na sua frente, ele e seu colega Barnett precisam encarar sua tarefa mais difícil até hoje: capturar o chefe da mais notória gangue de Londres... Na tradição best-seller de Anthony Horowitz e Andrew Taylor, essa estreia gloriosa de ficção de suspense vai assombrar os leitores até muito depois da última página.
