Produktbeschreibung
Edward Ransome is one of England's most famous artists - rich, a friend to celebrities and known for his devotion to his craft for almost fifty years. Then someone steals his favourite painting - the painting that set Ransome on course to fame and fortune but was never sold and rarely seen. Sam Dyke is hired to find the painting, and the thief, but quickly discovers that the loss of the painting is only one of the many losses suffered by Ransome, and his family. What's more, whoever stole the painting is keen to keep it a secret, and committing murder to do so is not out of the question. Soon Dyke finds he has more than a simple burglary on his hands - it's a case that spans generations and includes more than one ordinary crime. The Cobalt Sky is a subtle but exciting exploration of the ways in which families can hurt each other over time ... without even trying. From the two-time winner of the Chanticleer Reviews CLUE Award in the private eye/noir category, for The Bleak and The Innocent Dead.

Autorenporträt
Keith Dixon was born in Yorkshire and grew up in the Midlands. Two-time winner of the Chanticleer Reviews CLUE First in Category award for Private Eye/Noir novel, he's the author of ten full-length books and one short-story in the Sam Dyke Investigations series. For his sins, he now lives in France. Here's what some people have said about the first two novels in the series: I MAY KILL YOU This is a well written thriller that holds the reader's attention throughout, keeps you guessing and frantically turning the pages. It's an enthralling blend of thriller and police procedural with an added pinch of laugh out loud humour. The tension and intensity build as the story unfolds culminating in a chilling, breath taking finale. Nicki's Life of Crime OMG. He just keeps getting better. This book had me gripped from the very beginning. Loved the plot. Hope this is not just a one off. Would love to read more Ben Buckland. Lesley Jayne KILLING THE INVISIBLE With Watts, Dixon is onto something fun, fast, fresh, and engaging as hell ... The big news with Killing the Invisible is you won't be able to take your eyes off DI Watts. What a fabulous character creation this new DI is. We need more Watts, Mr. Dixon. A lot more! Rich Leder Killing the Invisible is terrific read--a compelling mystery wrapped in a literate character study. DI Walter Watts is unique and yet also classic, a grumpy, intelligent, sharp-tongued cop who is funny and complex. Lila Havens
