Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Nur achtzehn Mitbürger schwarzer Hautfarbe gibt es in Kingsmarkham, und einer von ihnen ist Inspector Wexfords neuer Hausarzt: Dr. Raymond Akande. Als Melanie, die Tochter des Arztes spurlos verschwindet, bewegt den Inspector mehr als nur berufliches Interesse an dem Fall. Melanie hatte erst vor kurzem die Universität verlassen, und da sie arbeitslos war, hatte sie mehrmals beim Arbeitsamt vorgesprochen. Seit ihrem letzten Termin dort ist sie wie vom Erdboden verschluckt.Als kurz darauf eine junge schwarze Frau tot aufgefunden wird, geht Wexford wie selbstverständlich davon aus, daß es sich um die Tochter der Akandes handeln muß. Doch bei der Leiche handelt es sich gar nicht um die der vermißten Melanie. Seller Inventory # 9780099437314
