Dávné zločiny – Hamilton Glen Erik (2020)

Sergeant Donovan Shaw returns to his hometown of Seattle at the behest of his grandfather after many years. However, he finds him mortally wounded and begins to investigate what happened. His grandfather Dono is notorious for being a thief, and a hidden treasure may be at stake. Donovan balances between the police, his grandfather's underworld associates, and old acquaintances, leading him to often bizarre places. Things become complicated with the discovery of a woman's corpse, who was brutally tortured before her death. Donovan's life is also at risk, as the mysterious perpetrator will stop at nothing. However, Donovan has received his grandfather's criminal education, is a seasoned soldier, and is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. And perhaps he will even find love along the way. Hamilton's debut novel Past Crimes has won the Anthony, Macavity, and Strand Magazine Critics Awards and was also nominated for the Edgar®, Barry, and Nero awards. Kirkus called Past Crimes 'an exhilarating heir to the classic detective novel.' Each of his subsequent books in the Donovan Van Shaw series has received star ratings from Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, and others, and has been published in North America, the UK, Ireland, Australia, Turkey, and Japan.
