A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

South-West Germany, 1926. The disappearance of a baby girl calls for Constable Theodore Hildebrandt and his son Klaus to visit the remote village of Hindelheim, a place where nothing ever happens. But the news of the missing baby has brought darkness to the community. It is as if someone or something wicked is playing a game. As the wind blows and the mist thickens, tensions rise amongst the villagers as everyone falls under suspicion. And when the rumours begin and secrets start to unravel, the quiet village of Hindelheim is set to change for ever.

'Mayhew skilfully evokes the atmosphere of between-the-wars Germany, offering ominous intimations of the political upheavals soon to come.' Sunday Times

'Historical crime fiction is enjoying something of a golden moment, and with her often ingenious and unusual debut novel, Jenny Mayhew adds significantly to the genre.' The Scotsman

Revue de presse :

"A strong, atmospheric debut" (The List)

"Historical crime fiction is enjoying something of a golden moment and with her often ingenious and unusual debut, Jenny Mayhew adds significantly to the genre." (The Scotsman)

"Richly imagined ... A lusty tale of pre-war eugenics that cleverly pre-figures the historical horrors to come." (Independent)

"Mayhew can definitely write. with a richness and intelligence, and never a sense of showing-off... [A Wolf in Hindelheim has] a wide-reaching subject matter pinned down to a strong plot; and in every short chapter a sign that this is an author to watch." (The Bookbag)
