Bøger i DCI Alex Fleming serien

Money may make the world go round, but it turns a village upside down, in this tense British crime thriller by the author of The Last Man. The normally tranquil village of Darmont is in an uproar over a proposed building project-but the angry demonstrations by the locals are not the only thing disturbing the peace. The assistant to the millionaire property developer behind the controversy has been murdered and the son of a Saudi investor in the plan has been kidnapped. Has a protester taken things too far-or is something more sinister going on behind the scenes among the rich and powerful? As rumors and accusations of blackmail, bribery, and corruption fly, DCI Alex Fleming must dig up the truth in a pursuit that will lead him all the way to London . . .

How do you investigate a murder when the victim seems to have no past? A puzzling new crime thriller by the author of A Fatal Move. When Oliver Upton is shot dead on a golf course, DCI Fleming and his team look for details about the man’s life, but they aren’t easy to find. All they know is that he showed up in Oxford and starting working as a taxi driver. Not even the victim’s new partner, Jamila Kazan, knows much about him—and the mystery deepens when Kazan is also shot. Grasping for clues, Fleming investigates Kazan’s ex, who joined a rifle club after their breakup—and Upton’s ex, who may have been abused by him. But after Fleming heads to Edinburgh to follow a lead, he soon learns that Upton had a good reason for leaving his past behind, and that far more lies at the heart of these crimes . . .
