Entry Island
by Peter MayDonde el destino espera. Un detective se siente perseguido por la sensación de que conoce a su sospechoso de asesinato, a pesar de que nunca se han conocido... Como un vigilante diminuto enfrentado a la violencia de un océano inclemente, Entry Island es la primera isla que se encuentran los navíos que acceden al golfo de San Lorenzo. Azotado por el viento y bañado por las aguas heladas, el minúsculo pedrusco apenas alberga a una centena de habitantes que viven de la pesca; gente curtida y tenaz, acostumbrada a soportar la rudeza de los elementos y las situaciones más extremas. Excepto el asesinato. Cuando la persona más rica de la isla, un comerciante de langostas llamado James Cowell, aparece muerta, el desconcierto se apodera de la pequeña comunidad, y pronto todas las sospechas recaen en Kirsty, la esposa de la víctima. Asignado a la investigación del crimen, acude desde Montreal el detective Sime Mackenzie, a quien el cambio de aires se le antoja saludable en un momento crítico de su vida en el que se siente acuciado por la soledad y la mala conciencia. Por desgracia, su ilusión se desvanece en cuanto pone un pie en la isla y se encuentra con su ex mujer, analista forense, que le recuerda de inmediato por qué su relación acabó en un agrio intercambio de reproches. Pero lo más inquietante, sin duda, es su encuentro con Kirsty, a quien cree reconocer del pasado. Mientras la mayoría de las pruebas apuntan hacia la viuda del comerciante, y el equipo de investigadores se muestra ansioso por cerrar el caso para poder abandonar ese lugar tan inhóspito, Sime está convencido de la inocencia de la mujer. Defenderla, sin embargo, le planteará un espinoso conflicto moral. La crítica ha dicho...«Un escritor al que seguiría hasta los confines de la Tierra.»The New York Times «Tras lasoberbia #The Lewis Trilogy#, May ofrece un trabajo igual de absorbente. La investigación histórica de Mackenzie se mezcla de forma fascinante con su trabajo policial en el siglo XXI.»The Times «Un argumento compacto, que no escatima ni en los matices de los personajes ni en las descripciones, maravillosamente evocadoras. Su lectura procura verdadero placer.»The Guardian «Entry Island es simplemente otra novela excepcional de Peter May. Aunque, pensándolo bien, nada es en verdad simple cuando se trata de Peter May, y ésta no es pues #otra# novela suya: es sin duda la mejor que ha escrito.»Undiscovered Scotland «Magistral.»The Independent «Siniestro, emocionante y evocador.»Scotland on Sunday «Potente y auténtico.»Glasgow Sunday Herald
