Mackenzie White Mystery (German)

Von der #1 Bestsellerautorin Blake Pierce erscheint nun eine spannende neue Krimireihe. In den Maisfeldern Nebraskas wird eine ermordete, an einen Holzbalken gebundene Frau gefunden, die zum Oper eines gestörten Mörders wurde. Die Polizei erkennt schnell, dass ein Serienkiller unterwegs ist – und dass seine Mordserie gerade erst begonnen hat. Detective Mackenzie White, jung, schlagfertig und kleiner als die alternden, chauvinistischen Männer ihrer Polizeiwache, wird mit der Aufklärung des Falles beauftragt. So ungern es die anderen Polizisten auch zugeben, sie brauchen ihren jungen und brillanten Verstand, der schon bei vielen Fällen die entscheidenden Impulse gegeben hat. Doch auch für Mackenzie erweist sich dieser Fall als unlösbares Rätsel, etwas, das weder sie noch die anderen Polizisten auf dem örtlichen Revier schon einmal erlebt haben. Als das FBI zur Hilfe gerufen wird, beginnt eine aufregende Verbrecherjagd. Mackenzie, die von ihrer eigenen Vergangenheit, ihrer gescheiterten Beziehung und ihrer unbestreitbaren Anziehung zu dem neuen FBI Agenten geplagt wird, muss gegen ihre eigenen Dämonen kämpfen, um den Mörder, der sie an die dunkelsten Ecken ihres Geistes bringt, zu jagen. Als sie sich in den Kopf des Mörders versetzt und sich intensiv mit seiner gestörten Psychologie auseinandersetzt, erkennt sie, dass es das Böse wirklich gibt. Sie hofft nur, dass sie sich noch rechtzeitig aus seiner Denkweise befreien kann, während ihr gesamtes Leben um sie herum einstürzt. Da immer mehr Leichen auftauchen, beginnt ein hektischer Wettkampf gegen die Zeit, der Täter muss gefasst werden, bevor er noch einmal zuschlagen kann. Als dunkler Psychothriller mit kaum auszuhaltender Spannung ist BEVOR ER TÖTET ein grandioses Debut einer fesselnden neuen Krimireihe – und eines neuen, liebenswerten Charakters – die Sie bis spät in die Nacht fesseln wird. Buch #2 der Mackenzie White Krimireihe wird bald verfügbar sein.

Von Blake Pierce, der Bestsellerautorin von VERSCHWUNDEN (einem #1 Bestseller mit mehr als 600 Fünf-Sterne-Bewertungen), erscheint nun Buch #2 einer spannenden neuen Krimireihe. In BEVOR ER SIEHT (ein Mackenzie White Krimi-Buch 2), kämpft die in der Ausbildung zu FBI Agentin steckende Mackenzie White darum, sich in der FBI Academy in Quantico einen Namen zu machen und sich gleichzeitig sowohl als Frau als auch als Neuankömmling aus Nebraska zu beweisen. In der Hoffnung, dass sie das Zeug dazu hat, eine FBI Agentin zu werden, und ihr Leben im Mittleren Wesen für immer hinter sich zu lassen, will Mackenzie sich zurückhalten und ihre Vorgesetzten beeindrucken. Aber alles ändert sich, als die Leiche einer Frau in einer Mülltonne gefunden wird. Der Mord hat große Ähnlichkeit mit dem Fall des Vogelscheuchen-Mörders, durch den Mackenzie in Nebraska berühmt wurde. Im hektischen Kampf gegen die Zeit, um einen neuen Serienkiller zu stoppen, beschließt das FBI, sein Protokoll zu brechen und Mackenzie den Fall zu übertragen. Für Mackenzie ist es ihre Chance, das FBI zu beeindrucken, doch die Erwartungen waren noch nie so hoch. Nicht jeder will, dass sie den Fall leitet, und alles, was sie in Angriff nimmt, scheint schief zu gehen. Als der Druck am höchsten ist und der Mörder wieder zuschlägt, findet sich Mackenzie alleine in einem Heer erfahrener Agenten, und schon bald erkennt sie, dass sie bereits viel zu tief in der ganzen Sache verwickelt ist. Ihre gesamte Zukunft beim FBI steht auf dem Spiel. So hart und entschlossen Mackenzie auch ist, so brillant sie Mörder auch jagen kann, dieser neuer Fall entpuppt sich als unlösbares Rätsel, etwas, dem sie nicht gewachsen ist. Womöglich hat sie nicht einmal genug Zeit, es zu entschlüsseln, da ihr eigenes Leben über ihrem Kopf zusammenbricht. Als dunkler Psychothriller mit kaum auszuhaltender Spannung ist BEVOR ER SIEHT der zweite Teil einer fesselnden neuen Krimireihe – mit einem neuen, liebenswerten Charakter – das Sie bis spät in die Nacht fesseln wird. Buch #3 der Mackenzie White Krimireihe wird bald verfügbar sein.

In einem abgelegenen Nationalpark in West Virginia tauchen tote Frauen auf, die während eines Camping-Urlaubs starben. Doch der Park ist weitläufig und die Opfer scheinen keinerlei Verbindung zueinander zu haben. Zur gleichen Zeit erhält Mackenzie einen Anruf aus Nebraska, in dem sie darum gebeten wird, nach Hause zurückzukehren. Nach vielen Jahren ist ein neuer Hinweis zu dem Mord an ihrem Vater aufgetaucht. Der Fall gehört nicht länger zu den ungeklärten Kriminalfällen und Mackenzie muss unbedingt dabei helfen, ihn zu lösen. Doch der Mörder des FBI-Falles nimmt immer mehr Fahrt auf und es bleibt keine Zeit für Ablenkungen, als immer mehr Frauen in dem psychologischen Katz-und-Maus Spiel verschwinden. Der Mörder ist diabolischer - und schlauer - als sich Mackenzie hätte vorstellen können. Während sie sich auf einen Weg begibt, den sie fürchtet - nämlich tief in ihre eigene Psyche - stolpert sie über eine doppelte Windung, die sogar sie nicht erwartet hatte.
