Black Summer

by M. W. Craven Narrated by Louis Bernard

Overview

Jared Keaton, chef trois étoiles, est en prison, reconnu coupable après l'enquête de Washington Poe du meurtre de sa fille, dont le corps n'a jamais été retrouvé. Mais cette dernière réapparaît, avant de nouveau disparaître.
Poe se serait-il trompé ?
Une fois libéré, Keaton n'a qu'un but : briser Poe.

M.W. Craven, lauréat du CWA Gold Dagger Award de 2019.
Jared Keaton, le chef étoilé le plus célèbre de Grande-Bretagne, a été condamné à perpétuité pour l'assassinat de sa fille unique, Elizabeth. Son corps n'a jamais été retrouvé mais le témoignage de l'inspecteur-chef Washington Poe a convaincu les jurés.
Affaire classée. Jusqu'à ce qu'une jeune femme se présente à un poste de police et prétende être... Elizabeth. Ce que les analyses confirment ! Aussitôt libéré, Keaton n'a qu'un objectif : briser Washington Poe.
Avec l'aide de la seule personne en qui il a confiance, Tilly Bradshaw, une geek surdouée mais socialement inadaptée, Poe doit prouver à tous qu'il ne s'est pas trompé.
Mais comment une victime pourrait-elle être à la fois vivante et morte ?
