'WILDE LAKE is a knockout, you should get right on that.' STEPHEN KING
The brilliant, moving and psychologically complex new standalone novel from the New York Times-bestselling author of After I'm Gone and What the Dead Know.
Luisa Brant has just been elected State's Attorney, a job her revered father once held, and is prosecuting her first murder, by a homeless man on a woman to whom he had seemingly no connection. However, as Luisa investigates, she is startled to learn that this murder might have its roots in a violent event in the past involving her own family. And that maybe no one - her precious father, her brother, her late mother - is quite who she thought...
In an acclaimed modern twist on To Kill a Mockingbird, Laura Lippman once again proves herself to be one of crime writing's most thrilling reads.

Recensione:
'Just finished #WildeLake. Intriguing premise, stunning reveal, irresistible read.' (VAL MCDERMID)
Even for a writer of Lippman's caliber, Wilde Lake is a standout novel: an intelligent, emotional, satisfying mystery that explores huge themes in small-town microcosm, in the manner of To Kill A Mockingbird, the inspiration on which it reflects. (ALEX MARWOOD)
Laura Lippman is one of my favorite writers ... Her writing makes me wish I lived a sexier and more violent life. (MINDY KALING)
'Wilde Lake is a psychologically complexed story with plenty of secrets that are deftly woven into the plot. Lippman is a master story teller who creates strong characters and a narrative that keeps you racing to the very last page.' (Press Association)
You could label it as a subtle psychological thriller, or an unconventional police procedural novel, or a piece of literary fiction about family relationships and the power of grief and love. Whatever the label, Laura Lippman's 'Wilde Lake' remains a great accomplishment at any of these levels, and a truly brilliant read. (Nic Mira Thriller Books Journal)
'Lippman draws on two decades of crime reporting to produce a heart-stopping new thriller, which pivots on a state attorney's drive and cunning as she unravels a baffling murder case with personal implications.' (OPRAH)

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Luisa 'Lu' Brant is the newly elected - and first female - state's attorney of Howard County, Maryland, a job in which her revered father famously served. Fiercely intelligent and ambitious, she sees an opportunity to make her name by trying a mentally disturbed drifter accused of beating a woman to death in her home. It's not the kind of case that makes headlines, but peaceful Howard County doesn't see many homicides.As Lu prepares for the trial, the case dredges up painful memories, reminding her small but tight-knit family of the night when her brother, AJ, saved his best friend at the cost of another man's life. Only eighteen, AJ was cleared by a grand jury. Now, Lu wonders if the events of 1980 happened as she remembers them. What details might have been withheld from her when she was a child?The more she learns about the case, the more questions arise. What does it mean to be a man or woman of one's times? Why do we ask our heroes of the past to conform to the present's standards? Is that fair? Is it right? Propelled into the past, she discovers that the legal system, the bedrock of her entire life, does not have all the answers. Lu realises that even if she could learn the whole truth, she probably wouldn't want to. The brilliant, moving and psychologically complex new standalone novel from the New York Times-bestselling author of After I'm Gone, And When She Was Good, and What the Dead Know.
