Into thin air...
Three little girls, one by one, had vanished from the farming village of Dendale. And Superintendent Andy Dalziel, a young detective in those days, never found their bodies--or the person who snatched them. Then the valley where Dendale stood was flooded to create a reservoir, and the town itself ceased to be... except in Dalziel's memory.
Twelve years later, the threads of past and present are slowly winding into a chilling mosaic. A drought and dropping water table have brought Dendale's ruins into view. And a little girl has gone missing from a nearby village. Helped by Chief Inspector Peter Pascoe, an older, fatter, and wiser Dalziel has a second chance to uncover the secrets of a drowned valley. And now the identity of a killer rests on what one child saw... and what another, now grown, fears with all her heart to remember...

Жапризо, Сименон, Буало-Нарсежак - кто их помнит... Не дотянули до ста лучших по мнению Independent (как бы Independent) Mystery Booksellers Association . Фи.
Да-да, тоже заметила америкоцентризм, ну что поделаешь - американцы... Зато есть много книг, о которых впервые узнала. Например, не знала, что "39 ступеней" Хичкок снял по книге.
Зато в списке есть Джон Диксон Карр, который гораздо менее сейчас известен, чем тот же Сименон.
А вот "Та, которой не стало" Буало-Нарсежак просто обязана быть в таком списке(((
Да, конечно. Я и говорю, что такие списки формируются с чисто американской богоизбранностью
