A Short Story

Promises to Keep

P. D. James meets E. L. James in Under a Silent Moon, this first novel in an exciting British crime series—a blend of literary suspense and page-turning thriller that introduces formidable Detective Chief Inspector Louisa Smith—from suspense talent Elizabeth Haynes, author of the bestselling Into the Darkest Corner. In the crisp, early hours of an autumn morning, the police are called to investigate two deaths. The first is a suspected murder at a farm on the outskirts of a small village. A beautiful young woman has been found dead, her cottage drenched with blood. The second is a reported suicide at a nearby quarry. A car with a woman’s body inside was found at the bottom of the pit. As DI Louisa Smith and her team gather evidence, they discover a shocking link between the two cases and the two deaths—a bond that sealed their terrible fates one cold night, under a silent moon. In Under a Silent Moon, Elizabeth Haynes interweaves fictional primary source materials—police reports, phone messages, interviews—and multiple character viewpoints to create a sexy, edgy, and compulsively readable tale of murder, mystery, and unsettling suspense.

Catherine aproveitou a vida de solteira por tempo suficiente para reconhecer um excelente partido quando o encontra: lindo, carismático, espontâneo... Lee parece bom demais para ser verdade. Suas amigas concordam plenamente e, uma por uma, todas se deixam conquistar por ele. Com o tempo, porém, o homem louro de olhos azuis, que parece o sonho de qualquer mulher, revela-se extremamente controlador e faz com que Catherine se sinta isolada. Amedrontada pelo jeito cada vez mais estranho de Lee, ela tenta terminar o relacionamento, mas, ao pedir ajuda aos amigos, descobre que ninguém acredita nela. Sentindo-se no escuro, ela planeja meticulosamente como escapar dele. Quatro anos mais tarde, Lee está na prisão e Catherine, agora Cathy, tenta reconstruir a vida em outra cidade. Apesar de seu corpo estar curado, ela agora é uma pessoa bastante diferente. Obsessivo-compulsiva, sempre tentando se esconder, vive com medo e insegura. Seu novo vizinho, Stuart Richardson, a incentiva a enfrentar seus temores. Com sua ajuda, Cathy começa a acreditar que ainda é possível levar uma vida normal. Até que um telefonema inesperado muda tudo. Ousado e poderoso, convincente ao extremo em seu retrato da obsessão, No escuro é um thriller arrebatador.
