The Zig Zag Girl

Krimi von Elly Griffiths

Brighton, 1950. When the body of a girl is found, cut into three, Detective Inspector Edgar Stephens is reminded of a magic trick, the Zig Zag Girl. The inventor of the trick, Max Mephisto, is an old friend of Edgar’s. They served together in the war as part of a shadowy unit called the Magic Men. Max is still on the circuit, touring seaside towns in the company of ventriloquists, sword-swallowers and dancing girls. Changing times mean that variety is not what it once was, yet Max is reluctant to leave this world to help Edgar investigate. But when the dead girl turns out to be known to him, Max changes his mind.

Neben ihren überaus beliebten Krimis mit der forensischen Archäologin Ruth Galloway verfasst die Engländerin Elly Griffiths auch eine Serie, die in den Jahren um 1950 spielt. „Clever, immensely likeable…Captivating…The Zig Zag Girl is old-fashioned in the best ways.“ (The Wall Street Journal) (230 Rezensionen / 4,1 Sterne), 338 Seiten noch günstig?
