«Thriller en estat pur.»Pàgina Dos UN CONTROL RUTINARI DE TRÀNSIT El sotssergent Benoit sempre havia somiat participar en missions de…
gran importància, però mai no hauria pensat que la seva carrera a la brigada de Crest canviaria de la nit al dia. Perquè una conductora que s'ha donat a la fuga pateix un accident fatal. Perquè al vehicle hi anava una nena segrestada que ara està en coma. Perquè poc després apareix un mort amb els ulls extirpats i unes incisions al front. ELS COSSOS ES MULTIPLIQUEN El cas s'ha complicat i és inevitable que arribin des de París els "Experts" de la policia judicial; en Benoit és l'elegit per fer d'enllaç en la investigació sobre el terreny. No obstant això, una maledicció sembla haver-se apoderat del lloc perquè apareixen més cadàvers mutilats i ja ningú no dorm tranquil. Les més afectades són les residents del «priorat», un refugi de dones quehan estat víctimes de violència masclista. UNA MÀ SÀDICA MOU ELS FILS Sandrine Destombes torna a oferir-nos una novel·la en la qual res és el que sembla i tot queda intacte. Pel ritme al qual se succeeixen els assassinats, es diria que la mort s'hi troba molt a gust, a de Crest. La crítica ha dit...«No hi ha res més pèrfid que l'aparença afable de la França rural: Les germanes de Crest retrata el despertar del mal que dorm en les nostres campanyes.»Le Point «Amb una prosa fluida i poblant la novel·la de referències variades i erudites, Sandrine Destombes ha teixit una intriga sorprenent.»Le Littéraire «Sandrine Destombes sap com atrapar el lector des de la primera pàgina i no deixar-lo escapar fins al final. Compte, no llegiu abans d'anar a dormir!»Le Crestois «Aquí es reuneixen tots els ingredients d'un thriller excel·lent: una atmosfera tèrbola, una trama retorçada, secrets, ramificacions i una escriptura afilada.»Livresse du Noir

Inside a Los Angeles church, on the altar steps, lies the blood-soaked, decapitated body of a priest.

Later, the forensic team discover that, on the victim's chest, the figure 3 has been scrawled in blood. At first, Detective Robert Hunter believes that this is a ritualistic killing. But as more bodies surface, he is forced to reassess. All the victims died in the way they feared the most. Their worst nightmares have literally come true. But how could the killer have known? And what links these apparently random victims? Hunter finds himself on the trail of an elusive and sadistic killer, somone who apparently has the power to read his victims' minds. Someone who can sense what scares his victims the most. Someone who will stop at nothing to achieve his twisted aim. Praise for THE CRUCIFIX KILLER: 'A gripping debut ... Not for the squeamish' Heat 'A page turner' Express

further investigations suggest a much more horrifying discovery - a serial killer who has been kidnapping, torturing and mutilating victims all over the United States for at least twenty-five years.

modern reimagining of Patricia Highsmith's classic Strangers on a Train--from the author of the acclaimed The Girl with a Clock for a HeartOn a late flight from London to Boston, Ted Severson meets the stunning and mysterious Lily Kintner. Over one too many martinis, the two strangers play a game, one in which they begin revealing more and more intimate details about themselves. Ted talks about his wife, Miranda--how his marriage has gone stale, how a week ago he caught her in a serious betrayal. . . . Maybe they were a mismatch from the start, he the rich businessman, she the beautiful artist. But what begins as playful banter between Ted and Lily takes a swift turn when Ted claims, half-seriously, that he would like to kill his wife for what she's done. Then Lily surprises him by saying that she'd like to help. After all, everyone dies, what difference does it make if a few bad apples get pushed along a little sooner than life intended?Back in Boston, Ted and Lily forge an unusual bond and talk about the ways Ted might get out of his marriage. But Lily has her own dark history she's not sharing with Ted, a legacy of murder that stems from childhood. And Ted is keeping something from Lily as well--so as they move their plan forward, his motivation becomes less about getting Miranda out of his life and more about getting Lily into it. But as Ted begins to fall in love with Lily, he grows anxious about any unseen holes in their scheme that could give them away. And suddenly the two are pulled into a very lethal game of cat and mouse, one in which there may be more than one loser and more than one of them left dead when it's all over.
