Theodore Tate, detective privato, non ha mai dimenticato la sua prima scena del crimine. Quindici anni fa, quando era ancora uno stimato poliziotto, fu lui a ritrovare il corpo di una bambina, Jessica Cole, in un mattatoio abbandonato. Il killer fu identificato e arrestato e giustizia fu fatta. Ma è stato davvero così? Oggi, a quindici anni di distanza da quell’omicidio, un nuovo killer si aggira per Christchurch in Nuova Zelanda, e ha una lista di persone da uccidere, tutte coinvolte nell’assassinio di Jessica. Così Tate si trova, suo malgrado, proiettato di nuovo nelle indagini.

Joe tiene sotto controllo ogni aspetto della sua modesta esistenza, inclusi il lavoro che svolge di giorno presso il dipartimento di polizia e quello "notturno" consumato per le strade di Christchurch, in Nuova Zelanda.

Morderca poszukuje mordercy. Nieprawdopodobne? A jednak! Joe nie wyróżnia się z tłumu. Wiedzie spokojne, wręcz monotonne życie: dwa razy dziennie karmi złotą rybkę, raz w tygodniu odwiedza matkę i pracuje. Jest wzorowym, choć może nie najbystrzejszym pracownikiem, sprzątaczem w komendzie policji. I robi coś jeszcze - zabija kobiety, metodycznie i zgodnie z planem, sześć, jedną po drugiej. Policja nazywa go nieuchwytnym seryjnym mordercą, Nożownikiem z Christchurch. Kiedy na jaw wychodzi siódme zabójstwo, Joe wpada w szał.

Kan krimiforfattere slippe af sted med drab? Cameron og Lisa Murdoch har succes som newzealandske krimiforfattere, er lykkeligt gift og topper alverdens bestsellerlister. De har i årevis været promoveret i medierne og spøger med, at de ved mere end nogen andre om, hvordan man slipper godt fra forbrydelser. De lever trods alt af at skrive om det. Så da deres psykisk udfordrede syvårige søn Zach forsvinder, spørger politiet og offentligheden helt naturligt sig selv, om de nu har besluttet sig for at føre bevis for det, de selv så længe har hævdet.

Paul Cleave, el gran autor nominado al premio Edgar, nos presenta una emocionante novela de suspenso de tintes psicológicos, donde un famoso escritor de novelas policíacas lucha por diferenciar su propia realidad de los aterradores argumentos que ha creado para sus obras. Jerry Grey es mundialmente conocido por su seudónimo de novela negra: Henry Cutter, y con este nombre le ha bastado para tener a los lectores en el filo de la butaca por más de un decenio.

When seven-year-old Alyssa is kidnapped, Deputy Noah Harper decides he will do what it takes to find her - but that means crossing lines he can never come back from. Finding the girl safe isn't enough to stop Noah from losing his job, his wife, and from being kicked out of Acacia Pines. He's told if he ever returns, he'll be put in jail and left there to rot. Now, 12 years later, comes a phone call. Alyssa is missing again and her father wants him to honour the promise he made to her all those years earlier - that he would never let anything bad happen to her again.

Da den syvårige Alyssa bliver bortført, sætter vicesherif Noah Harper sig for at finde hende for enhver pris - og en del af prisen bliver at krydse grænser, han aldrig kan vende tilbage fra. At finde pigen kan ikke redde Noah fra at miste både sit arbejde og sin hustru og blive fordrevet fra Acacia Pines. Han får at vide, at hvis han nogen sinde vender tilbage til den lille by, bliver han kastet i kachotten, hvor han kan rådne op. Tolv år senere ringer telefonen.
