tun soll, als er das erste Opfer unter dem Schnee begraben findet. Doch schon bald wird es zur Gewohnheit, Leichen von jungen Mädchen der Highschool New Academy zu finden. Der Mörder erhält bald den Spitznamen "Jack Federfuß", weil er keine Spuren hinterlässt. In dem Dorf, auch wenn der Sheriff behauptet, es sei eine Stadt, in dem niemals etwas geschehen war, sind jetzt alle verdächtigt. Peter, der mit über dreißig Jahren immer noch bei seinem Vater lebt, kämpft darum, ein erfolgreicher Schriftsteller zu werden, während er sich in Ann, die Schwester seines besten Freundes Denny, verliebt. Peters Vater John macht sich Sorgen um die Zukunft seines Sohnes und versucht, ihm seine platonische Liebe auszureden. Als Peter eines Tages Anns Hand berührt, verfällt er in eine flüchtige Trance und muss mit ansehen, wie Ann von ihrem Mann, einem sadistischen und gewalttätigen Mann mit zwei Gesichtern, misshandelt wird. Währenddessen gehen die Morde weiter und Peter entfremdet sich von seiner geliebten Ann und seinem besten Freund Denny. Als Anns Mann eines Tages stirbt, nachdem er betrunken die Treppe zu ihrem Haus hinuntergestürzt ist, eilt Peter zur Beerdigung, um Ann zu sehen, und bemerkt etwas Seltsames an ihr. Er berührt ihre Hände, und als es dunkel wird, erkennt er, was geschehen ist. Peters Gabe, Gedanken zu lesen, wird ihm eines Tages helfen, den Mörder zu entlarven. Jeder kannte ihn.

By Claire Delacroix. 2024
Privado de su legítima herencia, Maximilian de Vries traza un plan para vengarse de su padre y asegurar su propio futuro.…
Se alía con sus dos hermanastros, invade la histórica y misteriosa Kilderrick y se apodera del torreón que antaño le fue prometido. Una mujer, bruja según los rumores, es la única lo suficientemente audaz como para enfrentarse a él, pero Maximilian sabe cómo resolverlo: la convertirá en su esposa, con o sin su permiso, y sellará su reivindicación. Sin embargo, a este poderoso guerrero todavía le queda enfrentarse a la inteligencia de Alys Armstrong, una doncella con sed de venganza y una furia que podría superar a la de él. Alys no tiene la intención de capitular ante el orgulloso y poderoso rebelde que le arrebató todo (por más seductoras que resulten ser sus caricias). Además, ella no comparte la obligación que tiene él de pelear de manera justa. Enemigos acérrimos desde el primer momento, el matrimonio de Maximilian y Alys es una guerra de voluntades. Cuando se encienda la chispa de la pasión, ¿serán capaces de resistirse a la tentación? Y cuando el mismísimo Kilderrick corra peligro, ¿unirán fuerzas para salvar los terrenos que ambos aprecian… y el inesperado amor que valoran por encima de todo lo demás?La guerra Saudi-Iraní: Los Agentes Rusos: Libro 2 (Los Agentes Rusos #2)
By Ted Halstead. 2024
¿Podrán los agentes rusos, los tanques saudíes y la tecnología estadounidense detener a tiempo al Líder Supremo de Irán? El…
nuevo gobernante de Irán utilizará tres armas nucleares, VX y dos fuerzas blindadas que se dirigen hacia Riad para derrocar a la monarquía saudí. ¿Podrán detenerlo antes de que mueran miles de personas y comience una guerra más amplia en Oriente Próximo? A los aficionados a la ficción militar les encantarán las detalladas descripciones de tanques, drones y ojivas. Pero los aficionados al thriller político disfrutarán con el ritmo y la historia. Se lee como una novela de Tom Clancy, en el sentido de que hay numerosos personajes y muchas partes en movimiento. Sin embargo, a diferencia de Clancy, no hay tramas secundarias que se desvíen. Todas las personas y acontecimientos descritos en el libro conducen directamente a la trama principal, lo que hace que sea una lectura bastante rápida y concisa. Recomiendo encarecidamente este libro, especialmente si sientes curiosidad por la ficción militar.Toi, robot
