книга "Silent scream" — Карен РоузSilent scream. Четверо детей подожгли якобы пустой блок кондоминиума. Но когда они увидели, что молодая девушка в окне на верхнем этаже отчаянно стучит по стеклу, чтобы выйти, они понимают свою ошибку. Хотя не все они согласны, группа оставляет девушку в ее неминуемой смерти, совсем не зная, что кто-то наблюдает за каждым их шагом.

The brilliant new novel from the incomparable Karen Rose, in which an arson leads to murder and blackmail, and a desperate search for those responsible. Four college kids set fire to a supposedly empty condominium block. But when they see the young girl at an upper-floor window desperately banging on the glass, clawing to get out, they realise their mistake. Although they don't all agree, the group leave the girl to her certain death, little realising that someone is there, watching their every move. Someone who has a nasty habit of blackmail and sees an opportunity for profit which is far greater than any they have ever had before. For local fire fighter David Hunter, getting the blaze under control is hard enough, but when he finds the girl's body he realises that this arson attack has become a murder case and the homicide cops are immediately called in. Now, as David works with the cops, it's a race to find the arsonists, and the blackmailer, before events escalate out of all control. |
