Lucy, la compagne de Whit Mosley, est inquiète: son oncle a disparu. Et elle a toutes les raisons de l''être puisqu''on retrouve bientôt le corps de celui-ci dans une tombe, au milieu d''ossements humains. Whit Mosley, le juge de paix le plus atypique du Texas, commence alors son investigation, qui bien vite se focalise autour des ossements. Ceux-ci semblent en effet liés à un mystère ancien, qui ne va pas tarder à aviver bien des passions, pour le moins meurtrières. Il serait criminel d''en dire davantage puisque le lecteur, à l''image de Whit Mosley, va bien vite se retrouver au milieu d''un labyrinthe infernal, où toutes les apparences sont trompeuses, les zones d''ombre omniprésentes, et où l''on ne peut faire confiance à personne, chaque protagoniste devenant un suspect potentiel. Après Faux-Semblants, Jeff Abbott nous fait à nouveau profiter de son exceptionnel sens de la tension et de l''intrigue avec ce livre proprement diabolique. Il manipule le lecteur avec un savoir-faire magistral. Indispensable.

“One of the most fun mysteries I’ve read in years. Thumbs up to Jeff Abbott’s delightful debut novel.”—Carolyn G. Hart After a few good years of city life, Jordan Poteet returns to his small hometown of Mirabeau, Texas, to work as a librarian. Yet his quet domesticity is shattered when he locks horns with Ms. Beta Harcher, the town’s prize religious fanatic, in a knock-down drag-out battle over censorship. When Jordan finds her murdered body in the library, he learns that Beta dead is much more dangerous than she ever was alive. Not only for poor Jordy, whom the police are itching to throw the book at, but for countless others.
