THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER A killing like no other. A killer more twisted than he's ever seen before. A case that will test him to the limit. Has Robert Hunter finally met his match? 'Do you believe the Devil exists, Detective?' the officer at the end of the line asks. 'Because if you don't . . . I'm sure you will once you get here.' Robert Hunter is called to the most vicious crime scene he has ever attended. It is made even more disturbing when the autopsy reveals a poem, left by the killer, inside the body of their victim.   Soon, another body is found. The methods and signature of the murder differs, but the level of violence used suggests that the same person is behind both crimes. Hunter's fears are confirmed when a second part of the poem is found. But this discovery does more than just link the two killings - it suggests that this is the work of a serial murderer. With no forensic evidence to go on, Robert Hunter must catch the most disciplined and systematic killer that he has ever encountered, someone who thrives on the victims' fear, and to whom death is a lesson that needs to be taught. From #1 Sunday Times and multi-million copy bestselling author, Chris Carter, comes the most compelling and ruthless Robert Hunter thriller yet.   PRAISE FOR CHRIS CARTER 'Wonderful storytelling, with a superbly drawn killer, it underlines exactly how good Carter has become' Daily Mail 'Former criminal psychologist Carter knows what he's talking about when it comes to creating bone-chilling serial killers, so be prepared for a terror ride' Heat 'Carter has a background in criminal psychology and the killers at the centre of his novels are all the more terrifying for it' Mail on Sunday 'Carter is one of those authors who makes writing look effortless ...

Auch in ihrem zwölften Fall bekommen es die Detective Robert Hunter und sein Partner Garcia von der LAPD Ultra Violent Crimes Unit mit einem Mörder zu tun, dem es nicht grausam genug sein kann. Er betrachtet sich als Lehrmeister, der seinen Opfern eine Lektion erteilt, die Angst und Schmerz bereitet und mit dem Tod endet. Außerdem hinterlässt er bei den toten Opfern eine Gedichtzeile. Für Hunter und Garcia wird es ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit, denn der Täter wird nicht aufhören.
Wie ich es von Chris Carter gewohnt bin, liest sich auch dieser Thriller wieder flüssig und die Handlung ist absolut packend. Allerdings muss man schon starke Nerven haben, denn es geht brutal und grausam zu, so dass selbst die Detective an ihre Grenzen kommen.
Die Charaktere sind gut und vielschichtig beschrieben. Robert Hunter ist ein intelligenter Detective mit einem fotografischen Gedächtnis, der sich in Täter gut hineinversetzen kann. Er ist ein sympathischer Mensch, der sehr perfekt rüberkommt. Auch sein Kollege und Freund Carlos Garcia ist ein sympathischer Mensch, dem seine Familie sehr wichtig ist. Die beiden haben schon viele Mörder geschnappt, doch dieser Täter scheint besonders schrecklich zu sein.
Ich mag diese Reihe um Hunter und Garcia und auch dieser spannende und schockierende Thriller hat mich wieder gefesselt. ( )
