Carey</strong></p><p><strong><em>Rotherweird</em> is twisted, arcane murder-mystery with shades of Deborah Harkness, Hope Mirrlees and Ben Aaronovitch, Mervyn Peake and Edward Gorey at their disturbing best.</strong></p><p>The town of Rotherweird stands alone - there are no guidebooks, despite the fascinating and diverse architectural styles cramming the narrow streets, the <em>avant garde</em> science and offbeat customs. Cast adrift from the rest of England by Elizabeth I, Rotherweirds independence is subject to one disturbing condition: nobody, but <em>nobody</em>, studies the town or its history.</p><p>For beneath the enchanting surface lurks a secret so dark that it must <em>never</em> be rediscovered, still less reused.</p><p><strong><em>But secrets have a way of leaking out</em>.</strong></p><p>Two inquisitive outsiders have arrived: Jonah Oblong, to teach modern history at Rotherweird School (<em>nothing</em> <em>local and</em> nothing <em>before 1800</em>), and the sinister billionaire Sir Veronal Slickstone, who has <em>somehow</em> got permission to renovate the towns long-derelict Manor House.</p><p>Slickstone and Oblong, though driven by conflicting motives, both strive to connect past and present, until they and their allies are drawn into a race against time - and each other. The consequences will be lethal and apocalyptic.</p><p><strong>Welcome to Rotherweird!</strong></p><p>(P)2017 WF Howes Ltd</p>...6975612Rotherweird656656https://www.gandhi.com.mx/rotherweird-9781786489906/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6917139/image.jpg?v=638763493258670000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro2017Inglés
