Zane Radcliffe Reihenfolge der Bücher

Vor fünf Jahren musste Callum Pope einen schweren Schlag hinnehmen: Seine Freundin wurde bestialisch ermordet. Jetzt will er ein neues Leben anfangen und zieht aus dem heimatlichen Glasgow nach Reykjavik, zu Bírna Sveinsdóttir, einer geheimnisvollen Gletscherforscherin, die sein Herz zum Schmelzen gebracht hat. Doch der Neustart in dem Frauenhaushalt gestaltet sich schwieriger als gedacht, denn Bírnas eigenwillige Mutter und die elfjährige Tochter scheinen ihn nicht sonderlich zu mögen. Und außerdem kann Callum den Schrecken der Vergangenheit offensichtlich nicht entkommen. Auf einmal erhält er Mails von einem Unbekannten, in denen dieser minutiös grausame Morde schildert. Ist der Unbekannte der Täter von damals? Und woher weiß er von Callums neuem Leben auf Island?

'Callum looked out over Reykjavik, its colourful dolls' houses snuggled together, their rooftops so sharp and precise against a blue-screen sky.

Scarlet captivates Jessie Black with her 12-string guitar, but his infatuation turns dangerous when a sniper's bullet targets him. As he questions who wants him dead, Scarlet's sudden disappearance escalates the situation into a serious mystery.

London Irish by Zane Radcliffe (Paperback) London Irish is the blackest of comedies, blacker than the pint of Guinness that graces its cover and every bit as enjoyable! It's the story of Bic (his 'pen name'!) who runs a crepe stall in Greenwich as Britain prepares to celebrate the new millennium. Bic is out of sorts with London (the tourists, the lack of clean air) and Radcliffe perfectly captures that thing that a lot of us non-native Londoners feel - that there must be a better life outside the M25. I've lived in London for 4 years (originally from Galway) and can relate to Bic's desire to just pack a bag, go to an airport and take the first flight to 'Whoknowswhere'. But just as Bic decides to cut loose from the city and return to his homeland to start an ostrich farm, he meets Roisin and his world is turned upside down. From this point just try and put the book down. I couldn't. It's fast-paced and furious but always funny. And Bic's dog (Dunc, so named because Bic had rescued him from the Thames when someone had tried to drown the puppy!) is one of the finest comedy canine creations! Even though the levity is high, London Irish contains one of the most poignant expressions of a terrorist atrocity that you're likely to read. Slainte, Mr. Radcliffe!!
