Titles By Melinda Leigh
Auftakt der neuen Thriller-Serie von Bestsellerautorin Melinda Leigh: Mord, dunkle Geheimnisse, Vergeltung – wenn sich die eigene Familiengeschichte wiederholt, gerät selbst eine Mordermittlerin an ihre Grenzen.
Bree Taggert geht in ihrer Arbeit als Detective in Philadelphia auf. Die schrecklichen Kindheitserinnerungen an den gewaltsamen Tod ihrer Eltern hat sie tief in sich vergraben. Doch dann wird ihre Schwester Erin tot aufgefunden und alles scheint wie damals. Der einzige Unterschied: Erins Mann Justin ist verschwunden.
Bree kennt die explosive Kraft familiärer Gewalt aus erster Hand. Aber ist Justin wirklich der Täter? Gemeinsam mit seinem Freund Matt, einem ehemaligen Ermittler, begibt Bree sich auf Spurensuche. Je näher sie der Wahrheit kommen, desto brenzliger wird es für Bree.
Bis das Blut gerinnt: ein fesselnder Thriller der amerikanischen Bestsellerautorin Melinda Leigh.
Blondes Haar, ein roter Regenmantel, die Augen blicklos: Sheriff Bree Taggert entdeckt eine Tote im Fluss. Ein Brief in ihrem Wagen weist darauf hin, dass sie Suizid begangen hat. Aber die Obduktion ergibt, dass Holly bereits tot war, bevor sie von einer Brücke in den Fluss stürzte.
Zusammen mit ihrem Privatermittler Matt Flynn findet Bree heraus, dass Holly dunkle Geheimnisse hatte: Ehemann, Schwester, Arbeitgeber – sie alle kommen als Täter in Betracht. Doch erst, als auch der Hauptverdächtige umgebracht wird, beginnen Bree und Matt das perfide Spiel des Mörders zu durchschauen …
Der atemberaubende Thriller der amerikanischen Bestseller-Autorin Melinda Leigh ist getrieben von Angst, Leidenschaft und dem Bewusstsein, der eigenen Verantwortung nicht entkommen zu können.
Als zwei Kugeln Carsons Vater und Mutter töten, ist er sechs Jahre alt. Er ist ein kleines Kind, das von der Grausamkeit und den Gefahren der Welt noch keine Ahnung hat. Damit ist es jetzt vorbei, denn er kennt den Mörder. Und es darf keine Zeugen geben.
Der einzige, der Carsons Leben retten könnte, ist sein Onkel Grant, der als Soldat im Ausland stationiert ist. Doch als dieser zurückkehrt, fühlt es sich an, als hätte er ein Stück Krieg mit nach Hause gebracht. Zusammen mit der Nachbarin Ellie setzt er alles daran, Carson zu beschützen. Als ein unbekannter Mann Ellie mit einer Waffe auflauert und droht, ihre Familie umzubringen, wird langsam klar, dass es noch einen Zeugen gibt: Ellies Tochter Julia.
Chi conosceva Holly non sarà mai al sicuro, finché non troveranno l’assassino della ragazza
Lo sceriffo Bree Taggert scopre il corpo di una giovane donna che galleggia sulle rive dello Scarlet River: un biglietto nell’auto abbandonata fa pensare al suicidio. L’autopsia, però, rivela una storia diversa: Holly Thorpe era già morta, quando è caduta giù dal ponte ed è finita in acqua.
Mentre Bree e il suo investigatore Matt Flynn indagano, i segreti della vita privata di Holly vengono a galla e la soluzione dell’omicidio si complica. Holly si è lasciata alle spalle un matrimonio litigioso, un capo che mostrava di essere personalmente coinvolto da lei e un rapporto difficile con Shannon, sua sorella. Ciascuno di loro aveva un motivo per ucciderla.
Quando Shannon viene terrorizzata dal macabro scherzo di uno stalker, e il primo sospettato delle indagini muore, le certezze di Bree sono capovolte e lei deve guardare il caso da una nuova angolazione. Ma non c’è tempo: l’assassino colpisce Bree e Matt da vicino. Devono fermarlo prima che sparga il sangue di una persona da loro amata.
Alyssa ha visto uccidere la sua amica, però manca un indizio fondamentale: la vittima
Bree Taggert è chiamata per una sparatoria in un campeggio che rimane chiuso durante l’inverno. Quando arriva, il nuovo sceriffo si trova davanti a un crimine sconcertante. Non c’è assassino, né vittima, né sangue. Nessuno a parte Bree crede all’unica testimone, Alyssa, un’adolescente senzatetto che sostiene di aver visto qualcuno sparare alla sua amica.
Per individuare il killer e rintracciare la ragazza, Bree chiede l’intervento dell’ex agente Matt Flynn e del suo cane poliziotto. Sotto il ghiaccio del Grey Lake, invece, Bree e Matt ritrovano il corpo massacrato di uno studente universitario scomparso… E non è l’unico della serie.
Quando altri due giovani spariscono e spuntano nuovi cadaveri, Bree deve scoprire il legame tra gli omicidi. È certa solo di un particolare: sono stati generati dalla furia dell’assassino. E quando anche Alyssa non si trova più, Bree deve correre contro il tempo: la sua testimone potrebbe diventare la prossima vittima.
Ein fesselnder Thriller der Wall Street Journal-Bestsellerautorin Melinda Leigh.
Schüsse auf einem winterlichen Campingplatz: Bree Taggert, neu in ihrem Job als Sheriff in Randolph County, steht vor einem Rätsel. Die junge Obdachlose Alyssa ist davon überzeugt, dass auf ihre Freundin geschossen wurde. Und ihre Angst ist echt. Doch es gibt kein Opfer, kein Blut im Schnee.
Ihr Department ist chronisch unterbesetzt, und Bree ruft den ehemaligen Ermittler Matt Flynn zu Hilfe. Zusammen entdecken sie unter dem Eis des Grey Lake die Leiche eines jungen Mannes. Gibt es eine Verbindung zwischen den Fällen? Jede Sekunde zählt, denn weitere Opfer tauchen auf, jedes wie in einem Wutrausch ermordet. Und dann verschwindet auch noch Zeugin Alyssa spurlos …
L’omicidio dell’avvocato Lee Barrett e della moglie Kate insanguina l’incantata cittadina di Scarlet Falls. Il maggiore Grant, fratello di Lee, è costretto a rientrare subito dall’Afghanistan per prendersi cura dei nipotini rimasti orfani. Solo grazie all’aiuto di Ellie Ross, l’affascinante vicina di casa e amica dei Barrett, Grant riesce a mantenere il controllo su una situazione difficile da gestire per un uomo di guerra, costretto ad accudire due bambini.
Quando la cittadina viene sconvolta da nuovi episodi di violenza, l’istinto militare gli suggerisce che dietro all’omicidio del fratello si nasconda del marcio. Nessuno è più al sicuro. L’assassino è a piede libero e la lentezza della polizia costringe Grant ed Ellie a indagare da soli, insieme. E quanto più i due si avvicinano, tanto più si confrontano con le proprie emozioni e i propri sentimenti. Nel gelo del dramma, avvampa il fuoco della passione e il desiderio diventa irresistibile...
Tra l’attrazione reciproca, il dovere del maggiore di tornare in guerra e la disillusione della donna nei confronti dell’amore, riusciranno Grant ed Ellie a fermare l’assassino prima che la neve di Scarlet Falls sia macchiata da altro sangue?
A homicide detective’s violent family history repeats itself in #1 Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh’s novel of murder, secrets, and retribution.
For more than twenty-five years, Philadelphia homicide detective Bree Taggert has tucked away the nightmarish childhood memories of her parents’ murder-suicide…Until her younger sister, Erin, is killed in a crime that echoes that tragic night: innocent witnesses and a stormy marriage that ended in gunfire. There’s just one chilling difference. Erin’s husband, Justin, has vanished.
Bree knows how explosive the line between love and hate can be, yet the evidence against her troubled brother-in-law isn’t adding up. Teaming up with Justin’s old friend, former sheriff’s investigator and K-9 handler Matt Flynn, Bree vows to uncover the secrets of her sister’s life and death, as she promised Erin’s children. But as her investigation unfolds, the danger hits close to home. Once again, Bree’s family is caught in a death grip. And this time, it could be fatal for her.
An Amazon Charts bestseller.
From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kendra Elliot comes the first novella in the thrilling Widow’s Island series.
FBI Special Agent Cate Wilde is back home on a remote Pacific Northwest island when she gets the call: a teenager’s skeletal remains have been found on a nearby island.
Together with Tessa Black, a childhood friend turned local deputy, Cate confronts dreary weather and bleak leads to make sense of the death. The complications pile up as Cate is distracted by the coroner on the case—and by nagging memories that draw her twenty years into the past. The remains suggest eerie similarities between this victim, and Cate and Tessa’s friend Samantha, who disappeared when she was fourteen.
Cate finds herself up against closemouthed locals, buried town secrets, and even her own heart. As the case unravels, will she be able to cut through the fog and find justice for the missing and the dead?
