Showing results for "veronica" in Police Procedurals

After a glamorous model plunges to her death from a Miami high-rise, investigative reporter Veronica Lee receives a horrifying video that reveals the killer's ruthless quest for vengeance. State Prosecutor Riley Odell is suddenly drawn into the murder investigation when her estranged sister seeks refuge in the small Florida town of Willow Bay. And as the town's new chief of police scrambles to catch the killer before he claims another victim, the trail leads to a faraway grave that holds the clue to the twisted predator's shocking past.

Veronica Kildare cannot believe her luck–being shot at, again, by the bad guys. The sound, the feel of the bullet, and the hatred resonate for more than just the transitory moment of impact. She has relocated to a new state, but brutality has rampaged into this life as well.

En rafflande historia, i högt tempo, om den ondska som finns dold under ytan på till synes helt vanliga människor. "Änglalik" är den inledande delen i Veronica Sjöstrands (tidigare von Schenck) serie om den egensinniga gärningsmannaprofileraren Althea Molin, nu i nyinspelning med Katarina Ewerlöf. I höst släpps ytterligare tre delar i serien: "Kretsen", "Ensamvarg" och ”Arvsynd”. "Kretsen" nominerades till bästa svenska kriminalroman 2009. En seriemördare härjar i Stockholms innekvarter runt Stureplan och staden lever i skräck.

Hengästyttävä ja hermoja koetteleva trilleri suositulta ruotsalaidekkaristilta. Rikosprofiloija Althea Molin on työskennellyt viimeiset viisi vuotta FBI:n asiantuntijana Yhdysvalloissa. Hän on vierailulla Tukholmassa, kun Vanhan kaupungin Saksalaisessa kirkossa räjähtää pommi kesken jumalanpalveluksen. Kolme henkilöä repeytyy kappaleiksi ja kuolee välittömästi. Yksi heistä on pappi. Vain muutamia päiviä myöhemmin räjähtää uudestaan, tällä kertaa Aadolf Fredrikin kirkossa. Althea Molinia pyydetään avustamaan tapausten tutkinnassa.

Tiheätempoinen ja hermoja kutkuttava kertomus pahuudesta, joka kytee päällisin puolin tavallisilta vaikuttavien ihmisten ulkokuoren alla. Kuolleet enkelit on ensimmäinen osa ruotsalaisen Veronica Sjöstrandin rikossarjassa, jonka pääosassa on omalaatuinen ja periksiantamaton rikosprofiloija Althea Molin.

Three people have been found murdered, by someone known as "the avenging Angel," a killer who has assumed the responsibility of ridding the village of those who sin, those who betray. This latest case also brings with it some life-changing surprises for Alberg and his romantic interest and soon-to-be wife, town librarian Cassandra Mitchell. But theirs are only two of the lives that will be irreparably changed by the murderous activities of an angel straight from hell.

From the doyenne of detective novels and the inspiration for the major TV series Murder in a Small Town (starring Rossif Sutherland and Kristin Kreuk), the eighth Karl Alberg detective story—is he the detective or the suspect? Maria Buscombe was a housewife living in Sechelt, British Colombia, until seven years ago when she suddenly abandoned her family. Now it seems she has returned—just in time to be murdered. What made her leave? What made her return? And who was sending her money and photographs of her daughter all that time?
