Diana Bretherick

    Diana Brethericková čerpá zo svojej predchádzajúcej kariéry trestnej právničky a kriminologičky, aby vtlačila svojim dielam autentickosť a hĺbku. Jej próza sa často ponára do temnejších zákutí ľudskej povahy a spoločnosti, skúma zložitosť zločinu a jeho dopady. Prostredníctvom pútavého rozprávania analyzuje surovú realitu aj populárne zobrazenia kriminálnych javov. Jej diela sú fascinujúcou sondou do myslí páchateľov aj do sveta, ktorý ich formuje.

      1888. When young Scottish scientist James Murray receives a letter from Sofia Esposito, a woman he once loved and lost, he cannot refuse her cry for help. Sofia's fifteen-year-old cousin has vanished but, because of her lower-class status, the police are unwilling to investigate. Accompanied by his younger sister Lucy, Murray returns to the city of Turin where he was once apprenticed to the world-famous criminologist, Cesare Lombroso. As he embarks on his search for the missing girl, Murray uncovers a series of mysterious disappearances of young women and rumours of a haunted abbey on the outskirts of the city. When the body of one of the girls turns up bearing evidence of a satanic ritual, Murray begins to slot together the pieces of the puzzle. But as two more bodies are discovered, fear grips the city and a desperate hunt begins to find a truly terrifying killer before he claims his next victim. The Devil's Daughters is the gripping new novel from Diana Bretherick, author of City of Devils.
