Von Blacke Pierce, Bestseller Autorin von ONCE GONE (Ein Nummer 1 Bestseller mit über 80 Fünf Sterne Reviews) kommt Buch #4 aus der spannenden Mackenzie White Mysterie Reihe. In BEVOR ER NIMMT (ein Mackenzie White Mystery – Buch 4) bekommt die neu ernannte FBI Agentin Mackenzie White eine neuen, beunruhigenden Fall. Frauen werden im ländlichen Iowa vermisst und ein Muster stellt sich heraus. Es wird vermutet, dass ein Serienmörder sich mit ansteigender Geschwindigkeit austobt. Mit ihren mittelwesterlichen Wurzeln wird Mackenzie als perfektes Match dafür ausgewählt. Aber Mackenzie ist abgeneigt davon in den Mittleren Westen zurückzukehren, dieses Mal in eine schonungslose ländliche Umgebung, die sie zu sehr an ihre Kindheit erinnert, die Geister in ihrem Schrank. Sie sucht ebenfalls den Mörder ihres Vaters, mit Dunkelheit die sie überall auf diesem Trip begleitet. Tief eingetaucht in die Welt der Farmen, Silos, Schlachthäuser an langen Wegstrecken auf leeren Highways, fühlte Mackenzie sich, als wenn sie in die Tiefen ihrer Psyche fällt und in die Albträume, vor denen sie immer Angst gehabt hatte, sich ihnen zu stellen. Im tötlichen Katz-und Maus Spiel erkennt sie am Ende die Psychose des Mörders gegen den sie kämpft und erkennt, dass das Land ihrer Kindheit noch dunklere und verwickelte Horrorgeschichten enthält, als sie sich je hätte vorstellen können. Ein dunkler Psychothriller, BEVOR ER NIMMT ist Buch #4 in einer fesselnden neuen Reihe – mit einem liebenswerten neuen Charakter – der Sie bis spät abends lesen lässt. Buch #5 in der Mackenzie White Mystery Reihe wird schon bald verfügbar sein.

"The Scarlet Letter is generally considered to be Nathaniel Hawthorne’s masterpiece. Set in 17th century Boston, it follows the plight of Hester Prynne, a young woman who bears a child out of wedlock, refuses to name the father, and is condemned to wear a scarlet ‘A’ for the rest of her life. With The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne reaches back to America’s Puritan roots to probe themes of lust, sin, guilt and redemption. This Essential Classics edition includes a new introduction by Professor Vivian Heller, Ph.D. in literature and modern studies from Yale University. Born in 1804, Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote at the forefront of dark romanticism. His renderings of colonial America reflect the strictures of New England Puritanism and give voice to characters who try to extricate themselves from social conventions. Vivian Heller received her Ph.D. in English Literature and Modern Studies from Yale University. She is author of Joyce, Decadence, and Emancipation(University of Illinois Press) and of The City Beneath Us (W.W. Norton & Company), a history of the building of the New York City subway system. She is an associate at Columbia’s School of Professional Studies and is the writing tutor for the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College. She is also a long-standing member of the non-fiction committee of the PEN Prison-Writing Committee, which awards prizes to inmates from across the country. Essential Classics publishes the most crucial literary works throughout history, with a unique introduction to each, making them the perfect treasure for any reader’s shelf.

Dall’autore di successo Blake Pierce, una nuova serie di gialli mozzafiato. Una donna viene trovata morta nei campi di granoturco del Nebraska, legata a un palo, vittima di un folle assassino. La polizia non ci mette molto a realizzare di avere a che fare con un serial killer – e che la sua furia omicida è appena iniziata. La detective Mackenzie White è giovane, determinata e più intelligente dei maschilisti di mezza età che lavorano con lei nella polizia locale. È quindi a malincuore che viene interpellata per risolvere il caso. Anche se detestano ammetterlo, i suoi colleghi poliziotti hanno bisogno della sua mente giovane e brillante, che li ha già aiutati in passato a risolvere casi per loro difficili. Eppure, stavolta l’enigma sembra impossibile anche per Mackenzie: né lei né la polizia locale hanno mai visto prima qualcosa del genere. Con il supporto dell’FBI, ha inizio una caccia all’uomo. Mackenzie, turbata da un oscuro passato, relazioni fallite e dall’innegabile attrazione che prova verso il nuovo agente dell’FBI, deve affrontare i propri demoni quando la caccia al killer la trascina nei luoghi più bui della sua mente. Immergendosi nella mente dell’assassino per tentare di comprendere la sua psicologia contorta, scopre che il male esiste davvero e che l’unica speranza è non rimanerne invischiata, mentre il mondo inizia a crollarle addosso. Dopo che altre donne vengono trovate morte, inizia una corsa contro il tempo. L’unica soluzione è scovare il killer prima che uccida ancora. Thriller-noir psicologico dalla suspence mozzafiato, PRIMA CHE UCCIDA è il primo libro di una nuova, avvincente serie—con un nuovo, irresistibile personaggio— che vi terrà incollati alle pagine fino a tarda notte. Il libro#2 della serie I Misteri di Mackenzie White sarà presto disponibile.

“Un capolavoro del giallo e del mistero! L’autore ha svolto un magnifico lavoro, a sviluppare i personaggi con un approfondito lato psicologico, così ben descritto, che ci fa sentire all’interno della loro mente, provare le loro paure e gioire del loro successo. La trama è molto intelligente e vi intratterrà per tutta la durata del libro. Ricco di colpi di scena, questo libro vi terrà svegli fino all’ultima pagina.” –Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (su Il Killer della Rosa) IL KILLER DELL’OROLOGIO è il libro #4 nella serie di bestseller dei misteri di Riley Paige, che comincia con IL KILLER DELLA ROSA, bestseller (Libro #1)! Delle donne vengono ritrovate morte sul ciglio solitario di un’autostrada nel Delaware. Alcune sono scomparse inspiegabilmente da molto tempo, mentre altre vengono ritrovate cadaveri, esposti in modi bizzarri e misteriosi. Quando viene scoperta una pista, diventa chiaro all’FBI, che un contorto serial killer è a piede libero—adescando ragazze, secondo subdoli schemi—e che non smetterà mai di uccidere. L’FBI, disperata di risolvere il caso, affida il compito di occuparsene all’Agente Speciale Riley Paige. Ma la brillante Riley, ancora riprendendosi dai casi precedenti, ha finalmente trovato la quiete nella sua vita domestica, ed è determinata ad aiutare la figlia April a tornare in piedi. Ma quando gli omicidi diventano troppo inquietanti, troppo urgenti—e quando l’ex partner, Bill, la implora—Riley finalmente realizza di non potersi tirare indietro. La caccia conduce la donna nelle profondità di un mondo oscuro formato da autostoppiste, girovaghe, donne di cui non importa a nessuno. Quando scopre che diverse donne sono tenute prigioniere, in vita, e che c’è ancora il tempo per salvarle, si rende conto che non si fermerà davanti a niente, ossessionata dal caso e spingendosi al limite. Tuttavia, Riley realizza che la sua stessa vita sta crollando, e che la sua fragile psiche può a malapena gestire la tensione. In una frenetica corsa contro il tempo, dovrà penetrare nella mente del killer per salvare quelle donne—e per impedire a se stessa—di crollare. Un cupo thriller psicologico, caratterizzato da una suspense mozzafiato, IL KILLER DELL’OROLOGIO è il libro #4 in un nuova serie affascinante—con un nuovo amato personaggio—che vi terrà incollati alle pagine fino a notte fonda. Il libro #5 nella serie di Riley Paige sarà presto disponibile.
