Rapid read; interesting premise but distracting multi-perspective plotlines. ( ) Cuando el estafador Ronnie Wilson ve cómo se desmoronan las torres gemelas en Nueva York, sus pensamientos no están con las miles de víctimas, ni con la sobrecogida ciudad escenario de los atentados terroristas. En lugar de eso, él se encuentra con la oportunidad de su vida: librarse de sus deudas, desaparecer y reinventarse a sí mismo en otro país. En Brighton, el protagonista Roy Grace investiga la aparición del esqueleto de una mujer en las costas de Brighton, lo que no hace más que remover sus propios fantasmas: la desaparición de su propia esposa nunca esclarecida. Cuando se descubre que el cadáver es el de la esposa del estafador Wilson, la investigación se complica para Grace. This is a story of multiple threads and as you read the chapters, you wonder what they could possibly have to do with each other. Each incident is a story in itself and I didn't know what to expect. This author is excellent at running different storylines, bringing them all to a page turning end. Very appropriate title. A fast-paced read that flits between September 2001 and the autumn of 2007 and between Brighton in the UK, Melbourne in Australia and New York in USA, following shady characters in the company of the police force of Brighton. Stamp collecting is the money laundering choice in this novel. The police procedures are precise and realistic, the bad guys are just that, although they care for their mothers, and everyone's looks and clothing is described in great detail. A good read. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
