Джеймс Освальд — библиография

On compassionate leave following the death of her mother, Detective Constable Constance Fairchild thought renting a cottage near Aberystwyth, Wales would get her far enough from London to finally relax. But trouble always seems to find Con, and it's not long before she is cooling off in a police station cell after defending herself from two would-be rapists. In custody she meets a young Ukrainian woman, Lila, who confides in Con that she's been forced by her manipulative boyfriend into prostitution and running drugs. Fearing for her life, she has run away from him, only to end up in the cells. Con offers to help, but when her cottage is…

В течение десяти лет каждый год под Рождество в Эдинбурге находили тела молодых женщин. Все они были обнажены, чисто вымыты. У всех перерезано горло. Последней жертвой стала Кирсти Саммерс, невеста детектива-констебля Тони Маклина. Но Рождественский убийца допустил ошибку, и одержимый горем Маклин выследил его и поймал. Двенадцать лет спустя маньяка убивает сокамерник, и в ту же зиму убийства начинаются снова. Неужели полиция ошиблась и арестовала невиновного? Или же у Рождественского убийцы появился подражатель? А может, есть какое-то другое, более зловещее объяснение?

A young girl's mutilated body is discovered in a sealed room. Her remains are carefully arranged, in what seems to have been a cruel and macabre ritual, which appears to have taken place over 60 years ago. For newly appointed Edinburgh Detective Inspector Tony McLean this baffling cold case ought to be a low priority - but he is haunted by the young victim and her grisly death. Meanwhile, the city is horrified by a series of bloody killings. Deaths for which there appears to be neither rhyme nor reason, and which leave Edinburgh's police at a loss. McLean is convinced that these deaths are somehow connected to the terrible…

When a member of the Police Scotland team fails to clock-in for work, concern for her whereabouts is immediate... and the discovery of her burnt-out car in remote woodland to the south of Edinburgh sets off a desperate search for the missing woman. Meanwhile, DCI Tony McLean and the team are preparing for a major anti-corruption operation - one which may raise the ire of more than a few powerful people in the city. Is Anya Renfrew's disappearance a co-incidence or related to the case? McLean's investigations suggest that perhaps that Anya isn't the first woman to have mysteriously vanished in these ancient hills. Once again, McLean…

A body is found in a tree in the Meadows, Edinburgh's beautiful public park. The forensics suggest that the corpse has fallen from a height - but was it an accident or a shocking message? The dead man had led quite a life - a disgraced ex-cop turned criminal kingpin and, most recently, the head of a celebrated charity. As McLean investigates, his search takes him from the city's underworld - crossing paths with some of the most dangerous and the most vulnerable people in society - before taking him to the heart of a shadowy conspiracy stretching back years...

Each year for ten years, a young woman’s body was found in Edinburgh at Christmastime: naked, throat slit, body washed clean.

It’s now twelve years later. A fellow prisoner has just murdered the incarcerated Christmas Killer. But with the arrival of the festive season comes a body. A young woman: naked, washed, her throat cut. Is this a copycat killer? Was the wrong man behind bars all this time? Or is there a more frightening explanation? McLean must revisit…

При разрушении старого дома строители находят в подвале мумифицированное тело молодой девушки, пролежавшее там около шестидесяти лет. Судя по расположению останков, она была зарезана в ходе какого-то оккультного ритуала. Тони Маклин, детектив-инспектор полиции Эдинбурга, понимает, что дело такой давности раскрыть практически невозможно, но все же никак не может о нем забыть. Тем временем в городе происходит серия кровавых убийств. Расследование быстро заходит в тупик, так как явных улик нет, мотивов тоже, а жертвы никак не связаны друг с другом, хотя у каждой была изъята часть того или иного внутреннего органа. Маклин убеждён, что все эти…
