The Killing Room
Thriller von Richard Montanari
In the heart of Philadelphia’s badlands, Homicide Detectives Byrne and Balzano are called out to a particularly chilling crime scene. Once the pillar of the neighbourhood, an abandoned church has become a killing room. At first it looks like a random act of violence. But then a second body is found, and a third. Each crime scene more disturbing than the last, each murder more brutal. And it soon becomes horrifyingly clear that a cold, calculating and terrifyingly precise mind is at work.
Sein neunter Roman. “Since being a kid growing up in Philly during the late 60’s, I’ve seen the PPD in action. The characterizations are spot on. The novel’s dialog is a gritty mixture that rolls in right off the sidewalks of Philadelphia.” (Leser) (25 Rezensionen / 4,3 Sterne), 449 Seiten noch günstig?

The Stolen Ones
Thriller von Richard Montanari
By night Luther walks Philadelphia’s backstreets; by day he roams the catacombs beneath the city. Luther is everywhere and nowhere; he’s is in your dreams – and your nightmares. Then Detectives Kevin Byrne and Jessica Balzano are called to a bizarre murder scene: a man has been killed by a railroad spike driven into his head. But this is just the beginning of a trail of evil that will lead Byrne and Balzano back to the hospital, to a missing girl and to a horror they could never have imagined …
Sein zehnter Roman. “With complex plotting at breakneck pacing, THE STOLEN ONES gets you guessing right from the start and then twists and turns relentlessly. Without moralizing, Richard Montanari plants the seed of doubt about how we handle the mentally ill. Was it really a good idea to close so many state hospitals, especially the ones that housed the criminally insane?” (Leser) (36 Rezensionen / 4,0 Sterne), 465 Seiten noch günstig?
Famished
Thriller von Meghan O’Flynn
Ash Park, a run-down suburb of Detroit, might not be the most idyllic place to live, but for Hannah Montgomery, it’s safe. At least, it feels that way until a serial killer starts dicing up women from the shelter where she volunteers. Hannah manages to convince herself the killings have nothing to do with her brutal past—but then her boyfriend is murdered in the same ruthless manner as the others. And the police think she may have had something to do with it.
Meghan O’Flynn schreibt so dunkle Thriller, dass sie dankbar ist, wenn ihr Mann sie nach der Lektüre immer noch liebt. „That was intense and scary! The killings were horrific, but you kept reading to see if any hints were given of the killer. I like this authors boldness, there’s a raw edge to her work that’s stunning.“ (Leser) (80 Rezensionen / 4,4 Sterne), 326 Seiten – noch gratis?
