Sinossi
Chastity Riley and her new sidekick Ivo investigate the case of newspaper executives who have been caged and tortured outside their offices &; on a trail that leads them to the hothouse world of boarding schools and some harrowing secrets&;
You loved Dark &; now meet Chastity Riley
&;Caustic, incisive prose. A street-smart, gutsy heroine. A timely and staggeringly stylish thriller&; Will Carver
&;With plenty of dry humour and a good old dash of despair, Simone Buchholz is an unconventional, refreshing new voice&; Crime Fiction Lover
&;Lyrical and pithy&; Sunday Times Crime Club
On a warm September morning, an unconscious man is found in a cage at the entrance to the offices of one of Germany&;s biggest magazines. He&;s soon identified as a manager of the company, and he&;s been tortured. Three days later, another manager appears in a similar way.
Chastity Riley and her new colleague Ivo Stepanovic are tasked with uncovering the truth behind the attacks, an investigation that goes far beyond the revenge they first suspect &; to the dubious past shared by both victims. Travelling to the south of Germany, they step into the hothouse world of boarding schools, where secrets are currency, and monsters are bred &; monsters who will stop at nothing to protect themselves.
A smart, dark, probing thriller, full of all the hard-boiled poetry and acerbic wit of the very best noir, Beton Rouge is both a classic whodunit and a scintillating expose of society, by one of the most exciting names in crime fiction.
&;Stripped back in style and deadpan in voice, this is a scintillating romp&; Doug Johnstone, Big Issue
&;With brief, pacy chapters and fizzling dialogue, this almost feels like American procedural noir and not a translation&; Maxim Jakubowski, Crime Time
&;There is a fantastic pace to the story which keeps you hooked from the first sentence all the way to the end. Once again Simone Buchholz holds no punches, with a unique voice that delivers a stylish story. Buchholz proves that you can pack an excellent crime thriller into 186 pages and engross the reader who wants more, once completed&; New Books Magazine
&;The follow-up to Blue Night is a smart and witty book that shines a probing spotlight on society&; Culture Fly
&;Fans of Brookmyre could do worse than checking out Simone Buchholz, a star of the German crime lit scene who has been deftly translated into English by Rachel Ward&; Goethe Institut
&;Beton Rouge is a killer read, original, unusual and yet I felt that a part of it, in fact a part of Chastity, lodged itself deeply within my soul, it&;s quite simply fabulous&; LoveReading
&;Great sparkling energy, humour and stylistic verve&; Rosie Goldsmith
&;Short chapters, snappy sentences, witty dialogue and succinct writing have created a fast-paced, &;just one more chapter&; read &; much more than a crime novel&; Off-the-Shelf Books
&;A fantastic story in a unique voice&; Mumbling about&;
&;A stunning novel that ends up exploding in your face&; The Last Word Book Review
&;The story and writing slowly seep into your soul&; Books Are My Cwtches
&;An excellent slice of atmospheric crime&; Blue Book Balloon
&;Deliciously dark&; Segnalibro
&;Enveloped me like wisps of cigarette smoke&; Hair Past a Freckle
