Produktbeschreibung
Jacaranda Dunne-known to everyone as JD-is an ex-Metropolitan police officer who has moved to Málaga to open a detective agency. At first, the work is routine, missing dogs, stolen passports and unfaithful husbands. Then one day a woman bursts into the agency, waving the photo of a young girl; it's her missing daughter, Sophie. Together with her best friend, Julie-both aged fourteen at the time-Sophie had disappeared the previous summer. An extensive police search has failed to find the teenagers but now they have found Julie's dead body, but instead of continuing with the investigation they have closed the case. The distraught mother tells JD that she is her last hope and begs for her help. But has too much time passed? Is the girl still alive? Why have the police shut down the investigation? And more to the point, how can JD find her when the police have failed to do so? This intricate crime mystery, Sophie is still Missing, is the first book in the Jacaranda Dunne Mysteries by award winning Joan Fallon, and takes the reader into the shadowy world of the Costa Del Sol, people trafficking and modern slavery. If you love the Cormoran Strike novels you will enjoy following JD as she searches for the missing girl.
Autorenporträt
The Scottish novelist Joan Fallon, currently lives and works in the south of Spain. She writes both contemporary and historical fiction, but has also written a work of non-fiction which has proved the inspiration for at least two of her subsequent novels. Two aspects of Joan's life particularly influence her writing. The first is being a woman who grew up during the sixties and seventies, at a time when it was harder for a woman to gain recognition in a man's world. Consequently almost all her books have a strong female protagonist. The second influence is the fact that she has lived in Spain for the last twenty years. Spanish history and culture fascinate her and have provided some of the most exotic settings in her historical novels.
