You never know what trouble will rise from the bog. When the body of an unidentified woman is found in a Newfoundland bog, Inspector Danny Quirke must scramble his team of investigators to find her killer. But what initially seems like a straightforward case soon becomes mired in a tangled web of lies and deliberate obfuscation. With the strange mutilation of the body-one eye gouged out completely-evidence seems to lead to a fringe religious group with bizarre beliefs. But while the pathologist indicates mushroom poisoning as the cause of death, Danny thinks circumstances point to something more sinister-especially when he begins to receive anonymous messages with links to horrific pictures of damaged human eyes. Three more bodies join the first, with seemingly nothing to link them but a little girl in a yellow party dress who flits in and out of the mystery like a creature from the old legends. Then an old friend from his childhood reappears, and Danny is forced to confront uncomfortable truths about his own nearest and dearest. On an island, everyone is a suspect....
Vicksville Missouri was a slice of Americana, a stolen canvas from Rockwell''s Collection. Flowers and elms lined the main thoroughfare, Mayfair Way, and a sunflower covered twenty foot by thirty foot sign painted by the fifth graders of Amerson School greeted visitors. Entering the town, hidden behind the row of densely planted elms just beyond the colorful welcome sign was Vicksville''s police station manned by portly Sheriff Bill Maitland who prided himself in running a crime-free town. Next to the police station was Hank''s gas station and next that was the Blue Bird Inn, in quite an ideal location only a few yards from the highway exit. Many a truck driver stopped there after a long haul for a bite to eat and some pleasant conversation. Dorothy Madison was the proprietor and she ran and clean and pleasant place. A few blocks down Mayfair stood Stella Trenton''s antique shop and Mrs. Nichol''s boarding home with rocking chairs on the porch for guests. At the end of the street around a little bend in the road was the cultural center of Vicksville, the Beaumont Theater. The Beaumont Theater was the brainchild of Lillian and Lawrence Lawson. No expenses had been spared in designing and constructing the exquisite edifice. Lillian had been an English teacher who loved theater and delighted in putting on musicals. She was a rigid woman in her early fifties who dressed with tailored suits with padded shoulders and who donned a tight black chignon. Her husband Lawrence was a second generation German immigrant who was dapper with speckled grey hair, a neatly trimmed moustache and darting eyes. He was "easy on the eye" and easy in his demeanor. The theater was built with so much promise that no one could phantom that it was soon to be a place on unspeakable horror. The opening of the theater had been the "talk of the town". The first three hundred patrons had an opportunity to have their names etched on brass plaques behind the seats for a donation of twenty

Only two people know what really happened: Danny Quirke and his former best friend, millionaire Tadhg Heaney. Danny and Tadhg have been bitter enemies for years. But when Danny is accused of Llewellyn''s murder, he needs Tadhg''s help exposing the truth-before those who believe he is responsible get their revenge. After all, on an island, nothing stays secret forever....

Poi ha afferrato un'occasione, ed è diventata la Svedese.

Poi una misteriosa consegna portata a termine per conto del fidanzato, un piccolo balordo, cambia la sua esistenza. Con la protezione di un annoiato aristocratico, Sharo inizia la sua irresistibile ascesa criminale.

Lì, in quell'ambiente, nella zona oscura della città, nessuno la chiama più con il suo nome. Per tutti è la Svedese.
