Mick Finlay Knihy
Mick Finlay, psychológ a autor, spája svoje akademické vedomosti s bohatými životnými skúsenosťami vo svojich literárnych dielach. Jeho štýl sa vyznačuje energiou a vtipom, často zasadený do temných zákutí viktoriánskeho Anglicka. Finlay sa zameriava na psychológiu postáv a ich motivácie, čím vytvára napínavé kriminálne príbehy. Jeho prístup k písaniu odráža hĺbku ľudského správania a komplexnosť zločinu.

William Arrowood returns . . .'Crackles with energy and wit' The Times South London, 1896. William Arrowood, Victorian London's less salubrious private detective, is paid a visit by Captain Moon, the owner of a pleasure steamer moored on the Thames. He complains that someone has been damaging his boat, putting his business in jeopardy. Arrowood and his trusty sidekick Barnett suspect professional jealousy, but when a string of skulls is retrieved from the river, it seems like even fouler play is afoot. It's up to Arrowood and his trusty sidekick Barnett to solve the case, before any more corpses end up in the watery depths . . . Praise for Mick Finlay: 'Another brilliant read from Mick Finlay . . . even better than Arrowood]' B.A. Paris 'Astounding ... If you crave Victorian age murder mystery, love darkly gothic atmospheres and want your detective rather tattered and torn at the edges Arrowood is your man.' SHOTS 'Enthralling' Publishers Weekly (starred review)
