      Román Felix Pink čeká na smrt od oceňované autorky Belindy Bauerové je příběhem staršího muže, který působí ve skupině pomáhající lidem, kteří se rozhodli pro důstojnou smrt. Dojde však k omylu a starcův život se navždy změní.Felix Pink je v důchodu. Už více než deset let je vdovec, vede rutinní život a čeká na snad nudnou smrt. Pracuje jako dobrovolník u „exitýrů“ – jako někdo, kdo sedává u nevyléčitelně nemocných, kteří se rozhodli pro sebevraždu, pomáhá jim s logistikou, poskytuje morální podporu a nakonec odstraňuje důkazy, aby rodina a přátelé nebyli do jejich smrti zapleteni. Když Felix vstoupí do domu v Black Lane 3, je tam proto, aby vykonal skutek laskavosti a dobročinnosti: aby dělal společnost umírajícímu muži při posledním výdechu.Jenže o pouhých patnáct minut později je Felix na útěku před policií – poté, co udělal největší chybu svého života. Jeho svět je najednou vzhůru nohama, protože se snaží zjistit, zda to, co se pokazilo, byl pouhý omyl, nebo šlo o úmysl – vraždu.

      Perfect for fans of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club, this is the page-turning, twisty, and often hilarious new crime novel from bestselling author Belinda Bauer. 'Quirky, charming, intensely human, important . . . and very suspenseful. I loved it.' Lee Child __________________ Meet Felix Pink. The most unlikely murderer you'll ever have the good fortune to spend time with. When Felix lets himself in to Number 3 Black Lane, he's there to perform an act of charity- to keep a dying man company as he takes his final breath . . . But just fifteen minutes later Felix is on the run from the police - after making the biggest mistake of his life. Now his world is turned upside down as he must find out if he's really to blame, or if something much more sinister is at play. All while staying one shaky step ahead of the law. __________ 'Fresh, funny, flawless. The best crime novel you'll read this year.' Clare Mackintosh 'Bauer's judgement of tone is perfect throughout a captivating whodunnit that's often hilarious . . . beady-eyed yet tender, it resembles a collaboration between Agatha Christie and Muriel Spark.' Sunday Times

      'The best crime novel I've read in a very long time.' VAL MCDERMID 'Snap is the best kind of crime novel - it gives you chills, it makes you think, and it touches your heart. I loved it!' SARAH PINBOROUGH, No.1 bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes SNAP DECISIONS CAN BE FATAL . . . On a stifling summer's day, eleven-year-old Jack and his two sisters sit in their broken-down car, waiting for their mother to come back and rescue them. Jack's in charge, she said. I won't be long. But she doesn't come back. She never comes back. And life as the children know it is changed for ever. Three years later, mum-to-be Catherine wakes to find a knife beside her bed, and a note that says: I could have killed you. Meanwhile Jack is still in charge - of his sisters, of supporting them all, of making sure nobody knows they're alone in the house, and - quite suddenly - of finding out the truth about what happened to his mother. But the truth can be a dangerous thing . . . PRAISE FOR BELINDA BAUER: 'Belinda Bauer has shifted the boundaries of what makes a truly gripping, terrifying thriller. Imagine Thomas Harris crossed with Kate Atkinson and you still won't be close . . . will leave you breathless.' Daily Mirror 'Her thrillers are always compelling, always original, always brilliant. I will rush to read anything she writes.' Mark Billingham 'Belinda Bauer is a marvel. Her novels are almost indecently gripping and enjoyable.' Sophie Hannah 'Bauer's victims are so beautifully illuminated . . . you sense their fears oozing off the page.' Daily Express 'Bauer sees deeper than most into people's emotions.' The Times 'One of the leading names in crime fiction.' Stylist
