Fiction. Literature. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER


The scorching new thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Girl on the Train.
 
“A Slow Fire Burning twists and turns like a great thriller should, but it's also deep, intelligent and intensely human.” – Lee Child

“Only a clairvoyant could anticipate the book’s ending” – New York Times
 
With the same propulsion that captivated millions of readers worldwide in The Girl on the Train and Into the Water, Paula Hawkins unfurls a gripping, twisting story of deceit, murder, and revenge.

When a young man is found gruesomely murdered in a London houseboat, it triggers questions about three women who knew him. Laura is the troubled one-night-stand last seen in the victim’s home. Carla is his grief-stricken aunt, already mourning the recent death of yet another family member. And Miriam is the nosy neighbor clearly keeping secrets from the police. Three women with separate connections to the victim. Three women who are – for different reasons – simmering with resentment. Who are, whether they know it or not, burning to right the wrongs done to them. When it comes to revenge, even good people might be capable of terrible deeds. How far might any one of them go to find peace? How long can secrets smolder before they explode into flame?

'What is wrong with you?' Laura has spent most of her life being judged. She's seen as hot-tempered, troubled, a loner. Some even call her dangerous. Miriam knows that just because Laura is witnessed leaving the scene of a horrific murder with blood on her clothes, that doesn't mean she's a killer. Bitter experience has taught her how easy it is to get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Carla is reeling from the brutal murder of her nephew. She trusts no one - good people are capable of terrible deeds. But how far will she go to find peace? Innocent or guilty, everyone is damaged. Some are damaged enough to kill. Look what you started.

En ung mann blir funnet drept på grusomt vis om bord på en husbåt i London, og mistanken rettes umiddelbart mot tre forskjellige kvinner som kjente ham. Laura er en “one night stand" som har sitt å stri med og ble sist sett i offerets hjem. Hans tante Carla er fra seg av sorg etter hendelsen, i tillegg til at hun allerede sørger over dødsfallet til et annet familiemedlem. Miriam er den nysgjerrige nabodama som åpenbart skjuler noe for politiet. De tre har alle grunner til å ville søke hevn, og raseri og fortvilelse kan få mennesker til å gjøre grusomme ting. Hvor lenge kan de holde på hemmelighetene sine før sannheten kommer fram i lyset? Omtalen er utarbeidet av BS.

När en ung man hittas brutalt mördad på en husbåt i London väcks frågor kring tre kvinnor som kände honom. Stökiga Laura som spenderade natten på båten var den som sist sågs i offrets hem. Carla är hans sorgedrabbade moster, som redan sörjer en annan familjemedlems plötsliga död. Miriam är den nyfikna grannen som uppenbart inte berättar allt hon vet för polisen.Tre kvinnor med olika kopplingar till offret, tre kvinnor som av olika anledningar hyser agg och bär på sorg. Tre kvinnor, som vare sig de är medvetna om det eller inte, brinner inombords av längtan efter att få något tillbaka efter allt de fått utstå. Eller åtminstone kanske bli sedda och hörda.Vad är de beredda att göra för slippa känslan som svider i bröstet, är hämnd det enda sättet att finna ro? Hur länge kan hemligheter ligga och pyra innan de flammar till eld? En enda gnista kan tända en förtärande eld.
