Cold Bones

It's the coldest winter in Hull for years. When McAvoy is told by a concerned stranger that an elderly women hasn't been seen for a few days, he goes to check on her - only to find her body encased in ice: the heating off; the windows open; the whole house frozen over. It could be a macabre accident, but when McAvoy finds a series of cryptic messages, he senses murder. Someone watched her die.

As he starts to uncover the victim's story and her connections to a lost fishing trawler, his boss Trish is half a world away, investigating a mysterious death in Iceland. Hull and Iceland have traditionally been united by fishing - but in this case, they are united by a secret concealed for half a century, and a series of brutal killings that have never been linked. Until now - when the secrets of the dead have returned to prey on the living.

Este cea mai rece iarna din Hull de ani de zile. Cand unui strain ingrijorat i se spune lui McAvoy ca o femeie in varsta nu a fost vazuta de cateva zile, el merge sa o verifice - doar pentru a-si gasi corpul inconjurat de gheata: incalzirea este oprita; ferestrele se deschid; toata casa inghetata.
