An Interpol international crime thriller

De: L. G. Wilder

Unstoppable. Unorthodox. Unforgettable. Zoya Zozulya is back - and this time the case gets personal.

Ukrainian homicide detective Lieutenant Zoya Zozulya, now seconded to Interpol’s UK branch, thought she'd seen it all after hunting gangland killers across Europe. But nothing could prepare her for what's waiting in central London - a woman's shocking release from captivity, traumatized and bewildered, with no clue why she was taken.

Then it happens again.

Twenty-four hours later, a second victim - a man - is freed under similarly bizarre circumstances. The two victims are clearly connected... but how? And if someone is sending a message, why are they making it so damn difficult to interpret?

Teaming up once more with the meticulous and ever-patient Professor Robin Rutherford, Zoya plunges headlong into a complex and deadly puzzle that plumbs the dark underbelly of London's high society, tangled criminal networks, and a philosophy-obsessed Liverpool gangster. As clues twist and tighten like a noose, Zoya realizes this isn't just another case - it's a message from a shadowy mind determined to stay one step ahead.

Fast, clever and unrelenting.

This is Zoya at her best - drinking hard, thinking harder, and never letting convention slow her down. Her motto? Provoke a reaction and deal with the consequences. With the clock ticking and danger closing in, Zoya must outwit a merciless mastermind before more lives - perhaps even her own - are shattered.

For fans of gritty crime thrillers with unforgettable detectives, razor-sharp plotting, sharp humor, and twist after twist, this second installment delivers on every page.

L G Wilder’s writing is described as “strikingly original” by Jake Needham, author of the Inspector Tay series, and “as gripping as it is charming” by Oliver Harris, author of the Detective Belsey series. Zoya and the Orphans will intrigue and entrance you and keep you turning the pages until the very end.
