Pack Faye Keyerman - Febrero 2018

release date: Feb 01, 2018
Pack Faye Keyerman - Febrero 2018
Desde la oscuridad “Dicen que los muertos no hablan, pero, si uno escucha atentamente, claro que los oye hablar”. Por su rango en el Departamento de Policía de Los Ángeles, el teniente detective de Homicidios Peter Decker no recibía demasiadas llamadas de servicio a las tres de la madrugada, a menos que el caso fuera muy grave o despertara el interés de los medios de comunicación, o ambas cosas a la vez. Alguien había entrado de noche en Coyote Ranch, el lujoso rancho del constructor y millonario Guy Kaffey, y lo había matado a tiros, junto a su esposa y cuatro de sus empleados. Peter, sus detectives Scott Oliver y Marge Dunn y el resto de su equipo de investigación de homicidios no tardaron en averiguar que aquellos truculentos asesinatos eran obra de alguien que pertenecía al entorno de la familia. El caso se volvió aún más enrevesado cuando descubrieron que Kaffey había ayudado con su generosidad a organizaciones de rehabilitación de delincuentes, y que había llegado al punto de contratar a algunos de ellos como guardias para que velaran por su seguridad personal. Sin embargo, ¿se trataba únicamente de un robo y un asesinato, o formaba parte de algo aún más retorcido? Un constructor de la magnitud de Kaffey no podía haber ganado tantos millones de dólares sin haberse granjeado algunas enemistades por el camino. Desde la oscuridad es un viaje vertiginoso por el paisaje urbano de Los Ángeles. El ahorcado Quince años atrás, Chris Whitman, en su último curso de instituto, fue a prisión por asesinar a su novia, Cheryl Diggs. Impulsado por un equivocado sentido de la caballerosidad, confesó, decidido a librar a otra compañera de clase, la hermosa y vulnerable Terry McLaughlin, de tener que testificar en su juicio. Cuando la verdad salió a la luz, Chris salió de prisión, se casó con Terry, que estaba embarazada de él, y se cambió el apellido por el de Donatti. Peter Decker fue el detective encargado del caso y, a lo largo de los años, mantuvo el contacto con Terry. Ahora su amiga estaba en Los Ángeles y le pedía un favor, pero el favor no tardó en complicarse cuando Terry y Donatti desaparecieron, dejando a Gabe, su hijo de catorce años, sin nadie a quien recurrir salvo a Decker y a su esposa, Rina Lazarus. Pero Decker tuvo que compaginar la búsqueda de Terry con un truculento asesinato. La enfermera Adrianna Blanc había terminado su turno a las ocho de la mañana. Seis horas más tarde, un capataz que supervisaba la construcción de una casa en una urbanización cercana, descubrió su cuerpo colgado de las vigas con un cable eléctrico alrededor del cuello. Adrianna, una profesional concienzuda y entregada, disfrutaba también de las fiestas, del alcohol, del sexo fetichista y engañaba por venganza a su novio, Garth Hammerling. Las sospechas aumentaron cuando Decker y su equipo descubrieron que una de las últimas llamadas telefónicas de Adrianna había sido un provocativo mensaje a su novio, que se encontraba de vacaciones y que también había desaparecido sin dejar rastro.

Killing Season
New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman delivers an electrifying novel of suspense as a young man’s investigation into his sister’s death draws him into the path of a sadistic serial killer. He went searching for the truth. Now a killer has found him. The more you know, the more there is to fear… Four years ago, fifteen-year-old Ellen Vicksburg went missing in the quiet town of River Remez, New Mexico. Ellen was kind, studious, and universally liked. Her younger brother, Ben, could imagine nothing worse than never knowing what happened to her—until, on the first anniversary of her death, he found her body in a shallow grave by the river’s edge. Ben, now sixteen, is committed to finding the monster who abducted and strangled Ellen. Police believe she was the victim of a psychopath known as the Demon. But Ben—a math geek too smart for his high-school classes—continues to pore over the evidence at the local police precinct, gaining an unlikely ally in his school’s popular new girl, Ro Majors. In his sister’s files, Ben’s analytical mind sees patterns that don’t fit, tiny threads that he adds to the clues from other similar unsolved murders. As the body count rises, a picture emerges of an adversary who is as cunning and methodical as he is twisted. At first the police view Ben’s investigation with suspicion. Soon his obsession will mark him as a threat. But uncovering the truth may not be enough to keep Ben and those he loves safe from a relentless killer who has nothing left to lose.

Csupán néhány héttel később egy tizenhat éves lány – aki ugyanabba a divatos és méregdrága középiskolába járt, mint Gregory –, pisztollyal szintén öngyilkosságot követ el. Decker nyomozni kezd a kiváltságos életet élő diákok között, a torz lojalitás és ijesztő érdekszövetségek világában. A kérdés most már az, hogy ki lesz a következő áldozat.

‘Een jongen van vijftien schiet zichzelf dood met een wapen dat zes jaar geleden is gestolen uit de spreekkamer van een dokter. Dat maakt me nieuwsgierig, ja.’ De zelfmoord van Gregory Hesse - een leerling aan een prestigieuze school in LA - is een schok. Zijn moeder weigert te geloven dat haar zoon zichzelf heeft doodgeschoten en weet rechercheur Decker ervan te overtuigen deze zaak nader te bekijken. De zelfmoord van de jongen zorgt ook voor onrust bij Peter Decker en Rina Lazarus zelf. Gabe Whitman - de 15-jarige zoon van een moordenaar - woont al een jaar bij hen in huis. Hoewel hij zich gemakkelijk lijkt aan te passen, realiseren ze zich dat hij zo zijn geheimen heeft... Als niet lang na Gregory’s zelfmoord een leerlinge aan dezelfde school de hand aan zichzelf slaat, is één ding duidelijk: dit kan geen toeval zijn. De dood van het meisje zet Decker op het spoor van een uiterst naargeestig groepje rijke, bevoorrechte jongeren met een gevaarlijke voorliefde voor geweld en wapens. 'Wat P.D. James voor de Britse detectives heeft gedaan, doet Kellerman voor de Amerikaanse politiethriller, ze tilt hem naar een hoger niveau.' - Richmond Times-Dispatch 'Genadeloos, uitstekende plot en met vaart geschreven.' - Observer 'Kellerman schept een claustrofobische sfeer, tegen een achtergrond van verderf, geweld en wantrouwen.' - Sunday Telegraph

Peter és csapata hamar rájön, hogy a borzalmas gyilkosságokat nem egy kívülálló követte el, a szálak azonban még jobban összekuszálódnak, amikor kiderül, hogy Kaffey olyan szervezetekkel is együttműködött, amelyek börtönviselt embereknek segítenek új életet kezdeni. A férfi több egykori elítéltet is alkalmazott testőrként. Vajon puszta rablógyilkosságról van szó, vagy ennél több lehet a háttérben? Decker egészen Mexikóig követi a nyomokat abban a tudatban, hogy felesége, Rina Lazarus biztonságban van, mert éppen esküdtként vesz részt egy bírósági tárgyaláson, így nem tud belekeveredni az ügybe.
