Jane Casey Knihy

V očích veřejnosti je za hrdinu: vrah, jehož oběťmi jsou usvědčení pedofilové. Dva muži jsou již mrtví - umučil je k smrti. Ani pro samotnou policii nejsou tyto případy prioritní. Většina vyšetřovatelů považuje pár mrtvých pedofilů za krok správným směrem. Podle kriminalistky Maeve Kerriganové by ale nikdo neměl mít dovoleno brát zákon do vlastních rukou. Mladá a nezkušená Kerriganová pevně věří, že vražda zůstává vraždou, ať už se oběť provinila jakýmkoliv hříchem. Se stupňujícím se vrahovým násilím je ale nucena přehodnotit, jak daleko je až ochotna zajít, aby bylo spravedlnosti učiněno zadost…

Román Beze stopy je napínavá psychologická detektivka se strhující atmosférou; přestože jde o debutovou prózu, ocitla se kniha záhy na žebříčku britských bestsellerů, stejně jako autorčiny následující knihy THE BURNING a THE RECKONING. Když v irském městečku zmizí dvanáctiletá Jenny, uvědomuje si její učitelka Sára Finchová mnohem lépe než ostatní, že se s každým dalším dnem zmenšuje naděje, že její žačku naleznou živou a zdravou. Jako dítě totiž Sára zažila něco podobného: jednoho dne beze stopy zmizel její starší bratr Charlie, a celou její rodinu tato tragédie hluboce zasáhla. Sáře je nyní něco přes dvacet a bydlí s matkou, která své chmury zahání alkoholem a pokojíček svého syna udržuje v někdejším stavu jako jakousi podivnou svatyni. Pak se Sáře přihodí něco příšerného: v lesíku nedaleko svého domu objeví Jennyino tělo. Je vtažena do policejního vyšetřování, a zatímco vzdoruje obrovskému mediálnímu zájmu, pomalu na ni samotnou padá podezření. Ale nesleduje ji jen policie…

V londýnských parcích řádí přízrak – brutální vrah, který své oběti, mladé ženy, nejdřív ubije a pak spálí. Případ se dostane do rukou mladé ambiciózní kriminalistky Maeve Kerriganové, která v něm vidí především velkou šanci prosadit se v převážně mužském světě oddělení vražd. Její kolegové považují Maevinu schopnost empatie spíš za slabinu než za přednost, jenže jak se Maeve dozvídá o poslední z obětí víc a víc, její odhodlání vypátrat jejího vraha a dostat ho před soud sílí a přináší i některé překvapivé objevy. Bude to ale stačit k dopadení vraha, kterého nikdo neviděl, zvlášť když všechny případné důkazy zničil oheň – a když ani nadřízení mladé kriminalistky nejsou tak docela na její straně?

The teenage girl was the first victim. Her throat cut to the bone, she didn't stand a chance. Her mother, at least, had time to fight back. Briefly. Called to the crime scene in leafy Wimbledon, Maeve Kerrigan's first thought is that this is a domestic dispute gone bad. But the husband is found lying bleeding and unconscious in an upstairs room. As a criminal barrister he insists he's the third victim rather than their prime suspect, even if he's a man who makes enemies easily. The only other surviving family member is fifteen-year-old Lydia. She was the one to find her mother and twin sister's bodies - and the only witness Maeve has. But she isn't talking...
