Produktbeschreibung
Ancient codes and a legendary killer lure a young detective into a dark and dangerous world. When a murdered historian is marked with a mysterious code, homicide detective Dee Brentano worries about his colleague - her missing father, Alexandre. FBI special agent J. R. Pierce tells her that Alexandre is wanted for this murder. Desperate to find him first, she discovers that Alexandre has items that several people - including Pierce - would kill to possess. One is a letter attributed to Jack the Ripper. Another is an erotic cryptograph. Dee encounters a potential ally in Detective Gregory Brenner. She's attracted to him, but fears that he's playing her to find her father. She's also drawn to her father's protégé, Scott Bateman, who can decode the Ripper letter's secret message and the symbol on the murdered historian. It's bait for luring supernatural entities. It's also a map to locating her father. Dee must choose her path wisely. One leads to a supernatural lover, the other to an immortal serial killer. Dean Koontz called Ramsland's Ghost: Investigating the Other Side, "The best book of its kind I've ever read," and Publisher's Weekly stated that "Ramsland is a master of foreboding." Whitley Streiber found The Heat Seekers to be a "gem" and said, "Katherine Ramsland is a marvelous novelist, who approaches her subject with chilling, fascinating inner knowledge."
Autorenporträt
Katherine Ramsland has played chess with serial killers, dug up the dead, worked with profilers, and camped out in haunted crime scenes. As a professor of forensic psychology and an investigative consultant (like her main character, Annie Hunter), she's always vigilant for unique angles and intriguing characters. She spent five years working with "BTK" serial killer Dennis Rader to write his autobiography, Confession of a Serial Killer, and has been featured as an expert in over 200 true crime documentaries. The author of 69 books, she's been a forensic consultant for CSI, Bones and The Alienist, an executive producer on Murder House Flip and A&E's Confession of a Serial Killer, and a commentator on 48 Hours, 20/20, The Today Show, Dr. Oz, Nightline, Larry King Live, Nancy Grace and other shows. She blogs regularly for Psychology Today and once wrote extensively for CourtTV's Crime Library. She's become the go-to expert for the most extreme, deviant and bizarre forms of criminal behavior, which offers great background for her Nut Cracker Investigations series.
