Doch je tiefer Katz in den Fall eindringt, desto mehr scheint er sich von der Lösung zu entfernen ...

MEMORIES CAN BE DEADLY A brutal murder It’s been thirty years since Professor Weider was found dead in his stately home. With little evidence to convict a suspect, the case has never been solved. A buried mystery Now, a partial manuscript has been discovered that reveals three people were at the house that night. All three clearly remember what happened. But someone is lying... Already translated into 37 languages, The Book of Mirrors is the perfect novel for fans of psychological suspense and reading group fiction. Praise for The Book of Mirrors 'Intelligent and sophisticated - a crime story told the way Picasso painted pictures. Highly recommended.'Lee Child 'I loved this twisty mind game! The Book Of Mirrors starts with a secret manuscript about a cold-case murder and then uses a host of characters and perspectives to make you look in every direction but at the truth. Who is lying? Is anyone's recall perfect? This isn't just a very clever thriller---it leaves us wondering how much we subconsciously manipulate our own memories to protect ourselves.' Julia Heaberlin (bestselling author of Black Eyed Susans) 'A literary thriller - complex, gripping and a beautiful read.' Jenni Murray 'An elegant, gripping, multi-layered tale about the illusory nature of truth and memory. I loved it.' Tammy Cohen 'The Book of Mirrors is exactly what I look for in a thriller: a great concept, brilliantly executed, smarter than it seems and knotty enough to keep you guessing. Like the best stories about memory, it leaves the reader wondering what's true and what isn't.' - James Smythe ‘This Romanian author's debut novel in English is an agile and provocative exploration the tricks memory can play’ - Sunday Times 'An impressive first novel, intelligent and well written’ - The Times This twisty, brilliantly written tale of a grisly unsolved murder at Princeton asks if we can truly trust our own memories. This nuanced, multi-layered book has a cracking plot to boot and will be devoured by thriller fans - Sun ‘slippery murder mystery’ - Irish Independent 'Intricately plotted ... Faulty memories, outright lies, and secrets make it hard to know whom to believe. The action builds to a crafty and believable resolution.' Publisher's Weekly 'Chirovici draws his characters well and tantalizes the reader with judiciously timed revelations. A smart, sophisticated murder puzzle sure to please the more literary-minded aficionados of the form' Kirkus

The Book of Mirrors

Pahaa verta

Het boek dat in enkele uren de wereld veroverde Op een nacht in 1987 werd de vooraanstaande hoogleraar Joseph Wieder op brute wijze vermoord. De zaak werd nooit opgelost. New York, 25 jaar later. Literair agent Peter Katz ontvangt enkele hoofdstukken uit een manuscript met de titel Boek der spiegels. Het zijn de memoires van Richard Flynn over diens tijd op Princeton University. Hierin beschrijft hij zijn opmerkelijke verstandhouding met Wieder. Katz is vastbesloten tot op de bodem uit te zoeken wat er in de nacht van de moord is voorgevallen. Hij is ervan overtuigd dat het antwoord zal staan in het ontbrekende deel van Flynns memoires. Richard Flynn is echter ongeneeslijk ziek, en de rest van het manuscript blijkt onvindbaar. Katz raakt geobsedeerd door de zaak. Maar hoe dieper hij in de materie duikt, hoe verder hij verwijderd lijkt van de oplossing.

FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BOOK OF MIRRORS You can't trust your own memories. You can't trust other people's. So how do you know what really happened that night? One rainy night in New York, psychologist James Cobb gives a talk on the art of recovering lost memories. Afterwards, he's approached by a stranger: a dying man who, forty years ago, woke up in a hotel room with a murdered woman, and no memory at all of what happened. Now, he needs to know whether he was an innocent bystander - or a killer. Intrigued, James begins to unpick the tangled threads of this decades-old mystery. But everyone involved has a different story to tell, and every fact he uncovers has another interpretation. As his interest becomes an obsession, and secrets from his own past start to surface, he begins to suspect that someone has buried the truth deep enough to hide it forever. For fans of Joel Dicker, Peter Swanson and SJ Watson, Bad Blood tells a gripping story of memory, motives, and how little we really know about ourselves.
