[German] - Unsere letzten wilden Tage (Ungekürzt)

"Flirrende Hitze, raschelndes Sumpfgras und tödliche Alligatoren, die lautlos durchs Wasser gleiten: Versunken in den Sümpfen Louisianas liegt das verwunschene Jacknife, in das sich niemand mal so eben verirrt. Als die Journalistin Loyal hierhin zurückkehrt, hofft sie, sich mit ihrer besten Freundin aus Kindheitstagen zu versöhnen. Doch bevor Loyal mit ihr sprechen kann, wird die Freundin ermordet aufgefunden. Niemanden interessiert es, was mit der jungen Frau passiert ist, die schon immer als Außenseiterin galt. Also beginnt Loyal, selbst Fragen zu stellen. Als sie Geheimnisse zutage fördert, die einige lieber unentdeckt gelassen hätten, zieht sich auch für sie die Schlinge zu. Ein Text wie eine Naturgewalt: über den Mut einer Frau, sich nicht mit einfachen Antworten zufriedenzugeben, und einen besonderen Ort, der uns den Atem raubt."

Our Last Wild Days: 'Propulsive, bold and brutal. A truly atmospheric thriller.' Chris Whitaker

"Brought to you by Penguin. In Jacknife, Louisiana, menace comes not only from the lurking 'gators, but from the secrets harboured by everyone in town... From the Sunday Times bestselling author comes a compelling, utterly immersive thriller The Labasques aren’t like other families. Living in a shack out in the swamps, they scrape a living hunting down alligators just to get by. To the good people of Jacknife, Louisiana, they are trouble-makers, outcasts, the kind of people you wouldn’t want living on your doorstep. So when Cutter Labasque is found face down in the muddy swamp, no one seems to care, not even her two rough-cut brothers. The only person who questions the official verdict of suicide is Cutter’s childhood friend, Loyal May, who has just returned home to care for her ageing mother. Loyal left town at the age of 18, having betrayed everything she valued most. Now, there may be no way for her to find forgiveness, but there may be restitution, if she can find out what really did happen to Cutter... Set against the haunting beauty of Southern Louisiana, Our Last Wild Days is a compulsive, evocative novel about a tight-knit community and the secrets they want to keep hidden.

Tall Bones: The gripping Sunday Times bestseller

"Brought to you by Penguin. A GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE MONTH 'A wonderfully haunting debut.' JANE HARPER, author of The Dry 'Irresistible, compelling.' PAULA HAWKINS, author of The Girl on the Train When seventeen-year-old Emma leaves her best friend Abi at a party in the woods, she believes, like most girls her age, that their lives are just beginning. Many things will happen that night, but Emma will never see her friend again. Abi's disappearance cracks open the façade of the small town of Whistling Ridge, its intimate history of long-held grudges and resentment. Even within Abi's family, there are questions to be asked - of Noah, the older brother whom Abi betrayed, of Jude, the shining younger sibling who hides his battle scars, of Dolly, her mother and Samuel, her father - both in thrall to the fire and brimstone preacher who holds the entire town in his grasp. Then there is Rat, the outsider, whose presence in the town both unsettles and excites those around him. Anything could happen in Whistling Ridge, this tinder box of small-town rage, and all it will take is just one spark - the truth of what really happened that night out at the Tall Bones.... 'A clever, twisting debut, about the dark side of small town America. It is packed with secrets like firecrackers ready to ignite.' FRANCINE TOON, author of Pine © Anna Bailey 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021"
