Эрин Харт — новинки

AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR ERIN HART DELIVERS A SEARING NEW NOVEL OF SUSPENSE, BRILLIANTLY MELDING MODERN FORENSICS AND IRISH MYTH AND MYSTERY IN THIS CHARGED THRILLER.
American pathologist Nora Gavin fled to Ireland three years ago, hoping that distance from home would bring her peace. Though she threw herself into the study of bog bodies and the mysteries of their circumstances, she was ultimately led back to the one mystery she was unable to solve: the murder of her sister, Tríona. Nora canâ€t move forward until she goes back—back to her home, to the scene of the crime, to the source of her nightmares and her deepest regrets.

Determined to put her sisterâ€s case to rest and anxious about her eleven-year-old niece, Elizabeth, Nora returns to Saint Paul, Minnesota, to find that her brother-in-law, Peter Hallett, is about to remarry and has plans to leave the country with his new bride. Nora has long suspected Hallett in Tríonaâ€s murder, though there has never been any proof of his involvement, and now she believes that his new wife and Elizabeth may both be in danger. Time is short, and as Nora begins reinvestigating her sisterâ€s death, missed clues and ever-more disturbing details come to light. What is the significance of the "false mermaid" seeds found on Tríonaâ€s body? Why was her behavior so erratic in the days before her murder?

Is there a link between Tríonaâ€s death and that of another young woman?

Noraâ€s search for answers takes her from the banks of the Mississippi to the cliffs of Ireland, where the eerie story of a fishermanâ€s wife who vanished more than a century ago offers up uncanny parallels. As painful secrets come to light, Nora is drawn deeper into a past that still threatens to engulf her and must determine how much she is prepared to sacrifice to put one tragedy to rest . . . and to make sure that history doesnâ€t repeat itself.

Результаты проведенной ими экспертизы непостижимым образом оказываются связаны с полицейским расследованием о недавно пропавшей жене и ребенке землевладельца Осборна. Тайна исповеди, опоздавшее на сотни лет признание священно-служителя и ритуальное убийство… Почему раскрытие давних исторических тайн превращает главного подозреваемого в жертву семейных интриг?..

Действие нового романа Эрин Харт, автора нашумевшего триллера «Земля с призраками», вновь разворачивается на неохотно раскрывающих свои жуткие тайны ирландских болотах. Археологи Кормак и Нора оказываются в центре стремительно разворачивающейся детективной истории. Истории предательства и убийства, тайных любовных связей и мести. Ко всему прочему, местные жители твердят о захороненном в болоте золотом кладе.

A dazzling debut -- already an international publishing sensation -- combining forensics, history, archaeology, and suspense.

Introducing Erin Hart, who brings the beauty, poignancy, mystery, and romance of the Irish countryside to her richly nuanced first novel. When farmers cutting turf in a peat bog make a grisly discovery -- the perfectly preserved severed head of a young woman with long red hair -- Irish archaeologist Cormac Maguire and American pathologist Nora Gavin team up in a case that will open old wounds. Peat bogs prevent decay, so the decapitated young woman could have been buried for two decades, two centuries, or even much longer. Who is she? When was she killed? The extraordinary find leads to even more disturbing puzzles. The red-haired girl is clearly a case for the archaeologists, not the police. Still, her tale may have shocking ties to the present, and Cormac and Nora must use cutting-edge techniques to preserve ancient evidence. And the red-haired girl is not the only enigma in this remote corner of Galway. Two years earlier, Mina Osborne, the local landowner's Indian-born wife, went for a walk with her young son and never returned. Did Mina simply decide to disappear, or did mother and child become lost in the treacherous bog? Could they, too, be hidden in its depths, only to be discovered centuries from now? Or did the landowner, Hugh Osborne, murder his family, as some villagers suspect? Bracklyn House, Osborne's stately home, holds many secrets for Nora and Cormac and policeman Garrett Devaney. But time is running out. Devaney's superiors want him off the Osborne case. Now. He wants to stay and find a killer. Meticulouslycrafted and resonating with traditional music and folklore, "Haunted Ground" celebrates Ireland's turbulent history, revealing the eternal, subliminal connections between past and present in a riveting novel that heralds the arrival of a bright new crime-writing star.
