Vildmarken
...det här är en både skicklig och intelligent författare med en stark känsla för bokstävernas magi.- Kapprakt.se om VildmarkenKier Templer kallas för "monstrets dotter" efter sin mammas ökända brott. Hon har lämnat hemstaden och sin tvillingbror bakom sig och lever ett kringflackande liv. Kiers enda kontakt med brodern är de kartor över platserna hon varit på som hon gör och skickar till honom. Men så försvinner hon spårlöst från en portugisisk nationalpark utan efterlämnad karta. Kriminalinspektör Elin Warner anländer till parken för att försvinna från radarn och undkomma sin stalker. När hon upptäcker Kiers sista karta kan Elin slå fast att Kier inte försvann frivilligt. Men i vildmarken måste hon gå försiktigt fram. De få människorna på den ensliga campingplatsen verkar sluta leden och värja sig mot hennes frågor. Elin måste nysta upp de ledtrådar Kier lämnat efter sig för att ta reda på vad som egentligen hände. Men när man följer ett spår måste man komma ihåg att se sig över axeln Om författaren: SARAH PEARSE bor vid havet i södra Devon med sin man och två döttrar. Efter att ha flyttat till Schweiz i tjugoårsåldern utforskade hon bergen runt den lilla schweiziska staden Crans Montana. Den dramatiska miljön inspirerade till hennes debutroman, Sanatoriet, som kom med på New York Times bästsäljarlista och blev etta på Sunday Times-listan. Även uppföljaren Hotellet blev Sunday Times-bästsäljare. Vildmarken är hennes tredje roman om kriminalinspektör Elin Warner.Pressröster:"Vildmarken ger oss allt vi längtar efter i en thriller [...) Det här är en bok man läser i ett streck, planera din dag efter det."-Jeffrey Deaver om Vildmarken"Pearse har skrivit ännu fascinerande bladvändare."-LA Times om Vildmarken "Hotellet, liksom Pearse, blir bara bättre och bättre. Spänningen byggs metodiskt upp till en nervkittlande upplösning. Elin Warner är en fascinerande karaktär som är omöjlig att inte heja på."- David Baldacci om Hotellet "Länge sedan jag var så här bergtagen (yes, pun intended) av en spänningsroman!"- Pekka Heino om Sanatoriet "Det här är riktigt bra och det är enkelt att förstå varför debuten fått så stor uppmärksamhet." - Kapprakt.se om Sanatoriet
