The Long Call

2020 | Nakladatelství Bohemian Ventures, spol. s r.o.

Now a major ITV series, The Long Call, adapted for television by screenwriter Kelly Jones and starring Ben Aldridge. The Long Call is the No.1 bestselling first novel in the Two Rivers series from Sunday Times bestseller and creator of Vera and Shetland, Ann Cleeves. In North Devon, where the rivers Taw and Torridge …converge and run into the sea, Detective Matthew Venn stands outside the church as his father's funeral takes place. The day Matthew turned his back on the strict evangelical community in which he grew up, he lost his family too. Now he's back, not just to mourn his father at a distance, but to take charge of his first major case in the Two Rivers region; a complex place not quite as idyllic as tourists suppose. A body has been found on the beach near to Matthew's new home: a man with the tattoo of an albatross on his neck, stabbed to death. Finding the killer is Venn's only focus, and his team's investigation will take him straight back into the community he left behind, and the deadly secrets that lurk there.

O autorovi

Ann Cleeves

Britská spisovatelka detektivních románů, dcera venkovského učitele, manželka vášnivého amatérského pozorovatele ptáků a obyvatelka severoanglického hrabství Northumberland, je zkušenou, ostřílenou autorkou – na svém kontě má už dvacet čtyři knihy a čtveřici sérií: v devadesátých letech to byla mimo jiné šestice příběhů inspektora Ramsaye, v prvním desetiletí tohoto století pak takzvaný Shetlandský kvartet, jehož součástí je i román Černý krkavec , ověnčený prestižní Duncan Lawrie Dagger Award. Její knihy vycházejí v šestnácti jazycích, v Německu a Skandinávii dobývají žebříčky bestsellerů. Náměty jejích děl byly adaptovány v britském rozhlase, prodala se rovněž televizní práva na Shetlandský kvartet. Jako první se však britští televizní tvůrci chopili případů vyšetřovatelky Very Stanhopeové. Skryté hlubiny, Stíny vzpomínek a Past na vránu natočili podle námětů stejnojmenných knih v rámci první série v roce 2011 , o rok později začala vznikat druhá série, zahrnující rovněž adaptaci autorčiny detektivky Mlčenlivé hlasy.
