Publisher Description

Six teens murdered. A suspect behind bars. A desperate father. In a case this shadowy, the truth is easy to hide.

Psychiatrist Dr. Gwen Moore is an expert on killers. She’s spent a decade treating California’s most depraved predators and unlocking their motives—predators much like the notorious Bloody Heart serial killer, whose latest teenage victim escaped and then identified local high school teacher Randall Thompson as his captor. The case against Thompson as the Bloody Heart Killer is damning—and closed, as far as Gwen and the media are concerned. If not for one new development…

Defense attorney Robert Kavin is a still-traumatized father whose own son fell prey to the BH Killer. Convinced of Thompson’s innocence, he steps in to represent him. Now Robert wants Gwen to interview the accused, create a psych profile of the killer and his victims, and help clear his client’s name.

As Gwen and Robert grow closer and she dives deeper into the investigation, grave questions arise. So does Gwen’s suspicion that Robert is hiding something—and that he might not be the only one with a secret.

Six teenagers dead. Finally, the killer behind bars. But are the games just beginning?

“Rechtsanwalt Robert Kavin ist fest entschlossen, das Undrnkbare zu tun: Er wird den Serienkiller verteidigen, der nicht nur Kavin’s eigenen Sohn, sondern auch fünf weitere Jugendliche über Wochen gequält, verstümmelt und getötet hat. Doch um diesen Fall zu übernehmen, braucht er die Hilfe einer Expertin – einer Psychiaterin, die sich auf Menschen mit Gewalt- und Tötungsfantasien spezialisiert hat. Was als professionelle Zusammenarbeit beginnt, wird schnell zu einem gefährlichen Spiel. Denn je tiefer sie in die Abgründe der Verbrechen eintauchen, desto mehr dunkle Geheimnisse kommen ans Licht – Geheimnisse, die vielleicht besser verborgen geblieben wären … Torre schafft es, jedem Charakter nicht nur Tiefe und zahlreiche Facetten einzuhauchen. Plotting & Twists sind on POINT. Der Spannungsbogen wird bis zuletzt aufrecht erhalten. Häppchenweise bekommen wir Puzzle-Stückchen zugeschoben, die die Spannung immer wieder nähren und erneut antreiben. Der erste Big Plot crossed my mind im Laufe des zweiten Drittels - aber dazwischen hatte ich so viele weitere Theorien, dass das Ende dennoch zufriedenstellend und überraschend war. Rund um ein wirklich gelungener Psycho-Thriller.”
