Лучшие книги Майкла Роботэма

Двадцать колотых ран в груди молодой красивой женщины...
Дело рук безжалостного убийцы?
Таково мнение полиции, и главный подозреваемый - знаменитый психиатр Джозеф О'Лафлин.
Джозеф понимает: доказать свою невиновность он сможет, только если сам найдет преступника... прежде чем тот нанесет новый удар.
Но сделать это будет не просто...

В романе "Пропавшая" читатель вновь встретится с главными героями предыдущей книги Майкла Роботэма "Подозреваемый" - Джозефом О'Лафлином и инспектором полиции Винсентом Руизом, которых опять объединит опасное, чреватое неожиданными поворотами событий, расследование.
Холодные темные воды Темзы, пуля в ноге и чужая фотография в кармане - а за ними потеря табельного оружия, амнезия, подозрения коллег по службе и повторяющиеся нападения неизвестного убийцы. Так, проходя через смертельный риск, боль и одиночество, Руиз продолжает поиски маленькой девочки, бесследно пропавшей три года назад - словно растворившейся в недрах ничем не примечательного лондонского пятиэтажного дома. Все знают, что Микки Карлайл мертва, а ее убийца пойман, осужден и отбывает срок в тюрьме; всем удобно так думать. Всем, кроме Руиза, который не хочет смириться с ее смертью и спустя три года, когда в деле появляется новая зацепка, возобновляет расследование - сперва как инспектор полиции, а затем, после отстранения от службы, как частное лицо. По мере того как оживают его воспоминания о случившемся на Темзе темной сентябрьской ночью, в поле зрения Руиза попадают новые лица, показания которых могут пролить неожиданный свет на события трехлетней давности. Вот только каждому из этих людей приходится вести двойную жизнь, каждый играет в свою рискованную игру, и у каждого есть свои резоны скрывать правду…

In Michael Robotham’s latest thriller, psychologist Joe O’Loughlin—the appealing hero of Suspect—tries to prevent a suicide and finds himself locked in a deadly duel with a very clever killer.

Joe O'Loughlin is on familiar territory—standing on a bridge high above a flooded gorge, trying to stop a distraught woman from jumping. She is naked, wearing only high-heel shoes, sobbing into a cell phone. Suddenly, she turns to him and whispers, “You don’t understand,” and lets go. Joe is shattered by the suicide and haunted by his failure to save the woman, until her teenage daughter finds him and reveals that her mother would never have committed suicide—not like that. She was terrified of heights. Compelled to investigate, Joe is soon obsessed with discovering who was on the other end of the phone. What could have driven her to commit such a desperate act? Whose voice? What evil?

Having devoted his career to repairing damaged minds, Joe must now confront an adversary who tears them apart: a man who searches for the cracks in a person’s psyche and claws his fingers inside, destroying what makes them whole.

With pitch-perfect dialogue, believable characters, and intriguingly unpredictable plot twists, Shatter is guaranteed to keep even the most avid thriller readers riveted long into the night.
