Nyligen lanserat – Hawksmoor

’There is no Light without Darknesse and no Substance without Shaddowe’So proclaims Nicholas Dyer, assistant to Sir Christopher Wren and the man with a commission to build seven London churches to stand as beacons of the enlightenment. But Dyer plans to conceal a dark secret at the heart of each church – to create a forbidding architecture that will survive for eternity. Two hundred and fifty years later, London detective Nicholas Hawksmoor is investigating a series of gruesome murders on the sites of certain eighteenth-century churches – crimes that make no sense to the modern mind . . . ’Chillingly brilliant . . . sinister and stunningly well executed’ Independent on SundayPeter Ackroyd was born in London in 1949.
