Novyj roman iz Dublinskogo tsikla korolevy irlandskogo detektiva. Antuanetta Konvej i Stiven Moran, blestjasche raskryvshie ubijstvo v romane "Tajnoe mesto", teper ofitsialnye naparniki. V otdele ubijstv ikh derzhat v chernom tele, poruchajut lish zaurjadnye sluchai bytovogo nasilija, da bumazhnuju volokitu. No odnazhdy ikh otpravljajut na banalnyj vyzov - ubita zhenschina, i vse na pervyj vzgljad, ochevidno - malointeresnaja ssora ljubovnikov, zakonchivshajasja tragediej. Uzhe pri osmotre mesta prestuplenija obnaruzhivaetsja mnogo strannostej. I chem dalshe, tem vse zaputannee. Zhizn zhertvy, obychnoj s vidu devushki, skryvala massu tajn i neozhidannostej. Novoe rassledovanie vylivaetsja v nastojaschuju paranojju - Antuanetta uverena, chto eto delo stanet rokovym dlja nee samoj. Ej kazhetsja, chto ee khotjat podstavit, izbavitsja, i eto v luchshem sluchae. Vesti delo prikhoditsja s postojannoj ogljadkoj - ne podslushivaet li ikh kto-to, ne podgljadyvaet li. Naparniki ne somnevajutsja, chto zaurjadnaja "bytovukha" vyvedet ikh na sereznyj zagovor. Roman Tany French - gorazdo bolshe, chem detektiv, eto sereznoe postfeministskoe vyskazyvanie na odnu iz glavnykh tem poslednikh let "zhenschina protiv muzhskogo mira", a takzhe slegka sarkastichnyj vzgljad na sakralizatsiju psikhologicheskoj travmy. Romany irlandki Tany French - tot sluchaj, kogda chitatel rasschityvaet na detektiv, i, v konechnom schete, ego poluchaet: krepkij, logichnyj, s khoroshej dinamikoj, obajatelnymi syschikami i neozhidannoj razvjazkoj. No po doroge ot zavjazki k finalu chitatel poluchaet nechto neizmerimo bolshee - ne prosto zhanrovo-masterovitoe peremeschenie iz tochki A v tochku B, no porazitelno umestnye probleski nastojaschego, neilljuzornogo volshebstva. Galina Juzefovich Kogda vy chitaete g-zhu French - a ee knigi objazatelny dlja vsekh, kto tsenit zhestkij, intellektualnyj, izobretatelnyj detektiv - imejte v vidu: vse vashi predpolozhenija okazhutsja oshibochnymi. The New York Times Tana French - samyj interesnyj, samyj vazhnyj detektivschik, pojavivshijsja za poslednie 10 let. The Washington Post Tana French iz tekh avtorov, kotorye stanovjatsja kultovymi. Obychno detektivy razvlekajut, no detektivy French zavorazhivajut. The New Yorker Neverojatnoe issledovanie propasti mezhdu tem, kak zhenschiny khotjat predstavit sebja miru, i bolee slozhnoj istiny o nikh. Harper's Bazaar V podkhode French k detektivnomu zhanru net i nameka na zhanrovuju shtampovannost. Tana French, skoree, pokhozha na dzhazovogo muzykanta-improvizatora. Dazhe kogda kazhetsja, chto tajna nachinaet obretat ochertanija, ona vyvorachivaet vse inache, udivitelnym obrazom vykhodja na temy, kuda bolee slozhnye, chem prinjato v detektive. Chicago Tribune Tana French ne tolko raskruchivaet zatejlivuju detektivnuju istoriju, no i pogruzhaet ee v slozhnuju prozu, ee knigi - elegantnoe i mrachnovatoe chtenie. Associated Press Skazat, chto Tana French - odin iz znachitelnykh detektivschikov, znachit skazat ochen malo. Ona prosto znachitelnyj pisatel. Gillian Flinn Tana French (1973) - irlandskaja detektivnaja koroleva. Vot tolko irlandskikh kornej u nee net. Amerikanka s italjanskimi i russkimi kornjami (ee mat Elena Khvostoff) s detstva mnogo puteshestvovala po miru: otets - spetsialist po ekonomike razvivajuschikhsja stran. Zakonchiv shkolu, ona postupila v dublinskij Triniti-kolledzh na otdelenie akterskogo masterstva. C 17 let ona zhivet v Irlandii, kotoruju schitaet svoim domom. Posle kolledzha Tana igrala v kino, teatre, zanimalas ozvuchivaniem. O pisatelstve, kotorym ona bredila v detstve, bylo zabyto. No kogda ej ispolnilos tridtsat, staraja strast vdrug vnov vspykhnula. Svoj pervyj roman ("V lesnoj chasche") ona pisala mezhdu kastingami. Debjut poluchilsja otmennym - knigu vstretili vostorzhenno. Roman poluchil neskolko premij, stal bestsellerom.

From Tana French, author of the forthcoming novel The Hunter, a New York Times bestselling novel that "proves anew that Tana French] is one of the most talented crime writers alive" (The Washington Post). "Required reading for anyone who appreciates tough, unflinching intelligence and ingenious plotting." --The New York Times Mick "Scorcherˮ Kennedy is the star of the Dublin Murder Squad. He plays by the books and plays hard, and thatʼs how the biggest case of the year ends up in his hands. On one of the half-abandoned "luxuryˮ developments that litter Ireland, Patrick Spain and his two young children have been murdered. His wife, Jenny, is in intensive care. At first, Scorcher thinks itʼs going to be an easy solve, but too many small things canʼt be explained: the half-dozen baby monitors pointed at holes smashed in the Spainsʼ walls, the files erased from the familyʼs computer, the story Jenny told her sister about a shadowy intruder slipping past the houseʼs locks. And this neighborhood--once called Broken Harbor--holds memories for Scorcher and his troubled sister, Dina: childhood memories that Scorcher thought he had tightly under control.

From Tana French, author of the forthcoming novel The Hunter, "the most important crime novelist to emerge in the past 10 years" (The Washington Post), the New York Times bestseller called "the most stunning of her books" (The New York Times) and a finalist for the Edgar Award. Back in 1985, Frank Mackey was a nineteen-year-old kid with a dream of escaping hisi family's cramped flat on Faithful Place and running away to London with his girl, Rosie Daly. But on the night they were supposed to leave, Rosie didn't show. Frank took it for granted that she'd dumped him-probably because of his alcoholic father, nutcase mother, and generally dysfunctional family. He never went home again. Neither did Rosie. Then, twenty-two years later, Rosie's suitcase shows up behind a fireplace in a derelict house on Faithful Place, and Frank, now a detective in the Dublin Undercover squad, is going home whether he likes it or not.

The course of Frank Mackey's life was set by one defining moment when he was nineteen. The moment his girlfriend, Rosie Daly, failed to turn up for their rendezvous in Faithful Place, failed to run away with him to London as they had planned. Frank never heard from her again. Twenty years on, Frank is still in Dublin, working as an undercover cop. He's cut all ties with his dysfunctional family. Until his sister calls to say that Rosie's suitcase has been found. Frank embarks on a journey into his past that demands he reevaluate everything he believes to be true.
