Showing results for "Prodigal Sons" in Thriller & Suspense

In a matter of days, Peter McDowell loses everything he has worked so hard for - his wealth, his property, his livelihood as a star investment banker. And then it gets worse. The stock market crash not only plunges Peter into joblessness, it causes a rift in his marriage that he cannot repair. Stripped of everything, he has only one place to retreat to: a lakeside cottage he inherited from his parents, who left most of their modest estate to Peter's twin. With no other choice, the prodigal son goes home.

He is Deucalion, a tattooed man of mysterious origin, a sleight-of-reality artist who has traveled the centuries with a secret worse than death. He arrives in New Orleans as a serial killer stalks the streets, a killer who carefully selects his victims for the humanity that is missing in himself. Deucalion's path will lead him to cool, tough police detective Carson O'Connor and her devoted partner, Michael Maddison, who are tracking the slayer but will soon discover signs of something far more terrifying: an entire race of killers who are much more - and less - than human.

Hannah Rosenbaum steht vor einem Rätsel. Sie hat ein Opfer, das offenbar von einem Scharfschützen getötet wurde, aber es gibt weder ein eindeutiges Motiv noch irgendwelche Spuren. Selbst die Kugel aus der Mordwaffe ist verschwunden. Jürgen Zimmermann – ihr Partner, beruflich wie privat – kann ihr bei diesen Ermittlungen auch nicht helfen, da er nach einem betrunkenen Eklat auf der Beförderungsfeier eines Kollegen vorläufig suspendiert wurde.
