Han pasado veinticinco años desde que Roy Slater abandonara el condado de Kingdom, marcados por el asesinato de los padres de su novia a manos de su hermano Archie. Ahora, el regreso a casa por la enfermedad de su padre lo enfrenta a viejos amigos, amores pasados y un cadáver que amenaza con desenterrar secretos largamente ocultos. Roy descubrirá que en Kingdom las deudas de sangre no se olvidan y alguien deberá pagar por ellas. Este thriller de Thomas H. Cook, nominado al premio Edgar, sumerge al lector en una atmósfera de suspense y explora las complejidades de las relaciones humanas en un entorno marcado por la violencia y el peso del pasado.
Thomas Cook was the founder of the travel agency Thomas Cook & Son. He was born into a poor family in Derbyshire and left school at the age of ten to start work as a gardener's boy. He served an apprenticeship as a cabinet maker before becoming an itinerant Baptist preacher. He was a supporter of the temperance movement and his first foray into tourism was a railway excursion to Loughborough for members of the Leicester Temperance Society in 1841. Following the success of this excursion, Cook, by now settled with his family in Leicester, began to organise tours further afield in the British Isles and, eventually, to the United States, Egypt and the Holy Land. In 1872, he went into business with his son as Thomas Cook & Son, with a head office in London. Following his retirement in 1878, he returned to Leicester and took an interest in the Baptist church and charitable work until his death. Cook is credited with having, through his all-inclusive tours, made travel and tourism accessible to a wider public.
