Number 1 bestseller Linwood Barclay returns with a heart-stopping thriller which will do for elevators what Psycho did for showers and Jaws did for the beach! It begins on a Monday, when four people board an elevator in Manhattan. Each presses the button for their floor, but the elevator climbs, non-stop, to the top where it pauses for a few seconds, before dropping. Right to the bottom of the shaft. It appears to be a horrific, random tragedy. But then, on Tuesday, it happens again. And when Wednesday brings yet another catastrophe, New York, one of the most vertical cities in the world is plunged into chaos. Clearly, this is anything but random. This is a cold, calculated bid to terrorize the city. And it's working. But what do these deadly acts of sabotage have to do with the fingerless body found on the High Line? It will be a race against time for detectives Jerry Borque and Lois Delgado to find the answers before a deadly Friday night showdown.

What would you do to protect your daughter . . .? From the million-copy bestselling author of NO TIME FOR GOODBYE and FIND YOU FIRST

Da David Harwood bliver bedt om at køre forbi sin kusine, Marla, der er traumatiseret af at have mistet sit barn ved fødslen, tror han, at det bliver et hyggeligt afbræk i sit ellers håbløse liv. Men da han ankommer, er der blod på Marlas hoveddør. Og hvad værre er, så har Marla et lille barn hos sig, som hun hævder, ”en engel” har afleveret til hende.Kort efter findes en kvinde dræbt, stukket ihjel, og hendes lille dreng er forsvundet. Alt tyder på, at Marla har gjort noget ganske forfærdeligt.Men selvom beviserne er overvældende, kan David ganske enkelt ikke tro, at hans kusine har begået mordet. Men hvis ikke det var Marla, hvem dræbte så Rosemary Gaynor? Og hvorfor tog vedkommende hendes lille dreng og gav ham til Marla? Det er op til David at finde ud af, hvad der virkelig skete, men han opdager hurtigt, at sandheden måske er langt værre, end nogen kunne forestille sig.Barclays hidtil bedste bog. – Toronto Star Fascinerende historie og fængslende karakterer.– The Associated PressSom en lidt mindre surrealistisk Twin Peaks er dette et overbevisende grotesk portræt af den amerikanske drøm i krise. Og forvent ikke alle svarene i dette første bind af trilogien – Barclay gemmer masser af hemmeligheder til de næste to bind. – Mail on SundayBegravede hemmeligheder er en lækkerbisken, skrevet med snilde og flair, og hvad der er endnu vigtigere, en bog, der ikke fremhæver sine virkemidler, men forudsætter, at læseren er særdeles opmærksom. – The Independent Hæsblæsende og kløgtigt plot. – Sunday MirrorBegravede hemmeligheder kombinerer på elegant vis et højt tempo a la Harlan Coben med et tvist af Jeffery Deaver. Der er endda en snert klassisk Stephen King i fremstillingen af en amerikansk lilleby med frygtelige hemmeligheder. Omdrejningspunktet i dette mesterlige plot er Barclays levendegørelse af den amerikanske middelklasse og en mands frustrationer over at være tvunget tilbage til sine rødder og illustrerer med al tydelighed, hvorfor Barclay er en af vor tids bedst sælgende amerikanske krimiforfattere. Det første kapitel lyder ganske vist ‘Jeg hader den her by’, men læserne bliver forført af Promise Falls’ mørke sjæl. – Sunday HeraldBarclays største styrke er, hvordan han væver ondskab ind i hverdagssituationer, og det gør han, så det forslår i Begravede hemmeligheder. – Daily ExpressMed en tårnhøj kriminalitet, dødsensfarlige hemmeligheder, omfattende korruption og, naturligvis, manglen på en avis er Promise Falls ikke et særlig godt sted at bo. Men det er sjovt at læse om. – The Peterborough Examiner

En bilulykke gemmer på mere end én mørk hemmelighed i denne #1 bestseller af Linwood Barclay Da entreprenøren Glen Garber ser sin virksomhed vakle efter boligkrisen, føler hans kone, Sheila, sig nødsaget til at uddanne sig ved hjælp af et aftenkursus, men da hun en aften aldrig kommer hjem, frygter Glen, at der kan være sket hende noget. Med deres otteårige datter sovende tungt i hjemmet, får Glen bekræftet sin værste frygt: Sheila og to andre er omkommet i en forfærdelig trafikulykke. Sheila er ikke alene død, men det ser også ud til, at hun er skyld i ulykken – var hun virkelig spirituspåvirket? Med sorg og benægtelse på sinde undersøger Glen ulykkens omstændigheder selv. Hvis han bare kan overbevise sig selv om, at Sheila ikke er skyld i denne tragedie. Trukket ind i en hvirvelstrøm af korruption og ulovlig aktivitet, forfulgt af gådefulde mordere, og konfronteret med trusler fra naboer, som han troede, han kendte, må Glen tage sine egne desperate metoder i brug og finde frygtelige nye sider af sig selv for at beskytte sin datter og finde sandheden. Pressen skriver: ”Skrivestilen er skarp; twists er rystende og kommer fuldstændigt uventet.” – Stephen King ”Højspændt og med en uimodståelig blanding af spænding og anspændthed.” – Tucson Citizen ”Linwood Barclay brillerer i oprigtigt uhyggelige og spændingsfyldte fortællinger om almindelige mennesker i det tilsyneladende almindelige og fredelige forstads-Amerika, og hans seneste gyser rammer plet.” - Independent ”Barclay formår at forurolige middelklassen.” – The Guardian ”Barclay har leveret et home run med masser af på-kanten-af-stolen øjeblikke.” – Kirkus Review ”… veksler mellem højtryksaction og en langsom følelse af uro med stor dygtighed.” – Publishers Weekly
