Roxane WearyReihe

Diese Serie begleitet eine Privatdetektivin, deren persönliche Dämonen und ihr trinkfreudiger Lebensstil sie nicht davon abhalten, unerbittlich nach der Wahrheit zu suchen. Jeder Fall zieht sie tiefer in die Schatten der menschlichen Natur, wo sie sich Gefahren und ihrer eigenen Vergangenheit stellt. Es ist eine moderne Interpretation des hartgesottenen Kriminalgenres, die die Spannung und den Stil klassischer Noir-Erzählungen neu belebt.
