Marc Schlosser, 'n huisdokter, begaan 'n mediese fout en as gevolg
daarvan sterf een van sy pasiente. Schlosser moet voor die Mediese
Raad verskyn om verantwoording te doen. Schlosser is nie te
bekommerd oor die Mediese Raad nie: Hy sal seker 'n paar maande
geskors word, wat nie te erg is nie. Wat die saak egter kompliseer,
is dat die pasient 'n baie bekende akteur, Ralph Meier, is, wat
miskien net te veel aandag gegee het aan Schlosser se pragtige
vrou, Caroline. Of hou die hele gedoente verband met wat by die
Meiers se vakansiehuis gebeur het toe die Schlosser-gesin daar op
besoek was? Soos in Die aandete is die hoofkarakter van die verhaal
ook die verteller wat net vertel wat hy wil he die leser moet weet
en so die leser aan die raai hou oor wat werklik gebeur het.
John Rebus stands accused: on trial for a crime that could put him
behind bars for the rest of his life. Although it's not the first
time the legendary detective has taken the law into his own hands,
it might be the last. What drove a good man to cross the line? Or
have times changed, and the rules with them? Detective Inspector
Siobhan Clarke faces Edinburgh's most explosive case in years, as a
corrupt cop goes missing after claiming to harbour secrets that
could sink the city's police force. But in this investigation, it
seems all roads lead to Rebus - and Clarke's twin loyalties to the
public and the police will be tested to their limit. A reckoning is
coming - and John Rebus may be hearing the call for last orders...

1978. When teenager Rina Pine is abandoned by her hippy mother in the isolated village of Sorrow Spring and forced to live with her elderly aunt, she quickly realises no one is coming to rescue her.

When a child goes missing and a young mother is killed, she is drawn into the dark and sinister truth flowing through the sacred waters that give the village its name.
Rina is about to learn what it truly means to be a daughter of Sorrow Spring…
Love thy neighbour or fear thy neighbour? For myself and Lauren, my
10-year-old daughter No3 Beech Close was to be our refuge after two
years of hell nursing my sick mother. In need of a fresh start and
wanting to distance ourselves from the bad memories of my mother's
house we moved to Beech Close, a small cul-de-sac of six houses
situated around a picture-perfect green. It seemed perfect but I
had underestimated the secrets that this tightknit community
shared. Within hours of moving in my next-door neighbour Valerie
made it abundantly clear we were not welcome. I soon discovered
that Valerie hadn't welcomed the previous occupant either and she'd
since disappeared without a trace. Had I put myself and my daughter
in danger moving to Beech Close? Which neighbours, if any could I
trust? And how far would they go to keep their secret? Perfect for
fans of Liane Moriarty, Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell
