Brightonski misterij

Brightonski misterij

Sara Sheridan

Roman škotske autorice prvi je u seriji povijesnih kriminalističkih romana s junakinjom Mirabelle Bevan. Radnja je smještena u Brighton, u poslijeratnu Englesku obilježenu racionalizacijom, društvenim nejednakostima i skrivenim posljedicama rata.​

Mirabelle Bevan, bivša agentica tajne službe, pokušava ostaviti prošlost iza sebe radeći kao tajnica u uredu za utjerivanje dugova kod karizmatičnog Bena McGuigana. Njezin miran život narušava nestanak trudne mađarske izbjeglice Romane Laszlo, klijentice agencije. Kada i Ben iznenada nestane, Mirabelle se udružuje s mladom i pronicljivom osiguravateljskom službenicom Vestom Churchill kako bi istražila slučaj.​

Njihova istraga otkriva mrežu prijevara, ilegalnih kladioničkih shema, krivotvorenih zlatnika i ubojstava. Mirabelle i Vesta suočavaju se s prijetnjama nacističkih ratnih zločinaca i korumpiranih policajaca, riskirajući vlastite živote kako bi razotkrile istinu.​

Roman vjerno prikazuje atmosferu poslijeratne Britanije, uključujući rasne i spolne predrasude tog vremena. Mirabelle, inteligentna i odlučna, uz pomoć Veste, postaje simbol borbe protiv nepravde u društvu koje se još uvijek oporavlja od ratnih trauma.

Brightonski misterij kombinira klasični krimić s povijesnim kontekstom, pružajući čitateljima napetu i emotivnu priču o hrabrosti, prijateljstvu i potrazi za pravdom.
