      V dedinke neďaleko Dublinu sa v ruinách starej kamennej chatrče nájde telo mladej ženy a Cassie vyzerá prakticky ako jej dvojča. Keďže polícia nemá podozrivých ani žiadne stopy, vyhlási, že obeť je zranená, ale žije a Cassie zaujme jej miesto ako študentka Trinity College a spolubývajúca ďalších štyroch študentov. Aj napriek stresu z práce v utajení si Cassie svojich svojráznych, izolovaných spolubývajúcich, rovnako ako nový život v kedysi impozantnom dome obľúbi.Vyšetrovanie oddelenia vrážd neprináša takmer žiadne výsledky a je na Cassie, aby im aspoň naznačila ako ďalej. Niekto jej dvojníčku ubodal na smrť a Cassie ho musí nájsť. Dokonalá podoba má všetko: nezabudnuteľné postavy, svieže dialógy, inteligentné psychologické náhľady, stúpajúce napätie, takmer hmatateľné prostredie a úžasne evokatívnu, maliarsku prózu.

      Vtedy v lese je fascinujúca detektívka – plná akcie, psychologických zápletiek a postáv takých skutočných, že Vám pripadajú ako priatelia. Je tu všetko: tragickí milenci, prípad zmiznutých detí, psychopati, mylné dedukcie, trúfalý, zábavný a nespoľahlivý rozprávač. Príbeh vás zdrapne za golier a s krikom vtiahne do lesa. Na oltári z doby bronzovej, objavenom na posvätnom mieste v Knocknaree, sa nájde mŕtve dieťa. Je to talentovaná balerína, dcéra muža, ktorý vedie kampaň proti diaľnici, naplánovanej cez vzácne archeologické nálezisko. Policajt – rozprávač prežil iné nevyriešené zmiznutie v lete roku 1984, čo lesu dodáva desivo klamlivé čaro. K tomu pristupujú politické ťahanice, posvätná hrdosť detektívnych partnerov, rodina, v ktorej niečo fakt smrdí, čudná partia archeológov a príšerný, strašidelný les.

      It's a blazing summer when two men arrive in the village. They're coming for gold. What they bring is trouble. Cal Hooper was a Chicago detective, till he moved to the West of Ireland looking for peace. He's found it, more or less - in his relationship with local woman Lena, and the bond he's formed with half-wild teenager Trey. So when two men turn up with a money-making scheme to find gold in the townland, Cal gets ready to do whatever it takes to protect Trey. Because one of the men is no stranger- he's Trey's father. But Trey doesn't want protecting. What she wants is revenge.

      From the writer who “inspires cultic devotion in readers” (The New Yorker) and has been called “incandescent” by Stephen King, “absolutely mesmerizing” by Gillian Flynn, and “unputdownable” (People) comes a gripping new novel that turns a crime story inside out. Toby is a happy-go-lucky charmer who’s dodged a scrape at work and is celebrating with friends when the night takes a turn that will change his life—he surprises two burglars who beat him and leave him for dead. Struggling to recover from his injuries, beginning to understand that he might never be the same man again, he takes refuge at his family’s ancestral home to care for his dying uncle Hugo. Then a skull is found in the trunk of an elm tree in the garden—and as detectives close in, Toby is forced to face the possibility that his past may not be what he has always believed. A spellbinding standalone from one of the best suspense writers working today, The Witch Elm asks what we become, and what we’re capable of, when we no longer know who we are.
