XO
Autor Jeffery Deaveren Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 sep 2016
O carieră în plină ascensiune se ciocnește violent de o obsesie bolnăvicioasă. Kayleigh Towne este vocea momentului, dar succesul îi aduce un umbră periculoasă. Edwin Sharp nu este un simplu admirator. El crede că versurile hitului „Your Shadow” îi sunt adresate exclusiv. O semnătură „XO” devine scânteia unui coșmar. Tensiunea crește instantaneu. Descoperim aici o cursă contracronometru de doar 72 de ore. Timpul nu are răbdare. Moartea pândește în culisele sălii de concerte. Agentul Kathryn Dance intervine rapid. Ea nu se bazează doar pe probe, ci pe citirea micro-expresiilor. Este un joc psihologic de supraviețuire. Reținem stilul tăios al lui Jeffery Deaver, care nu lasă loc de respirație. Cei care au parcurs In All the Wrong Places de Donna Anders vor fi pregătiți pentru teroarea provocată de un fan a cărui admirație se transformă în violență letală. Credem că XO consolidează universul autorului, menținând rigoarea procedurală din The Bone Collector, dar mutând accentul pe dinamica rapidă a hărțuirii moderne. În comparație cu Roadside Crosses, unde pericolul venea din mediul online, aici amenințarea este fizică, imediată și viscerală. Finalul promite o răsturnare de situație care anulează tot ce credeam că știm.

Despre autor
Jeffery Deaver este un nume de referință în literatura polițistă contemporană, fiind distins cu premii prestigioase precum Steel Dagger și Nero Wolfe Award. Fost jurnalist și avocat, Deaver își folosește experiența juridică pentru a construi intrigi de o precizie chirurgicală. Este creatorul celebrului personaj Lincoln Rhyme din The Bone Collector, însă prin seria Kathryn Dance thrillers a explorat o nouă dimensiune a investigației: analiza comportamentală. Lucrările sale sunt traduse global, fiind recunoscute pentru structura lor complexă și răsturnările de situație imprevizibile care au devenit marcă înregistrată a autorului.
Descriere scurtă
Kayleigh Towne's music career is just reaching new heights with her huge hit single "Your Shadow"--but increased fame is also bringing unwanted attention. An innocent exchange with one of her fans, signed with an "XO," leads Kayleigh into the dangerous and terrifying realm of obsession.
Edwin Sharp thinks Kayleigh's songs contain messages that speak directly to him. Despite her clear rejection and threats from lawyers and law enforcers, he remains convinced that "Your Shadow" was written just for him, and he announces he's coming for Kayleigh. Then a potentially fatal accident occurs at the concert hall where Kayleigh is rehearsing for a triumphant hometown performance, and she is convinced that someone--maybe Edwin--was there watching her from the darkness.
Speeding along over just three short days, this nail-biting thriller is filled with terrifying twists that will hold readers in rapt suspense until the final shocking revelation.
Descriere
The third Kathryn Dance novel from Number One bestseller Jeffery Deaver.
Kayleigh Towne is a beautiful and successful singer-songwriter, and Edwin Sharp is her biggest fan. When she replies to one of his fan letters with 'XO', Edwin is convinced she loves him, and that her latest hit song 'Your Shadow' was written for him. Nothing Kayleigh or her lawyers can say persuades him otherwise.
Then the singer gets an anonymous phone call; it's the first verse of 'Your Shadow' playing. Soon after, one of the crew is horribly murdered. Kayleigh's friend Kathryn Dance, a special agent with the California Bureau of Investigation, knows that stalking crimes are not one-off occurrences, and, sure enough, more verses of the song are played as warnings of death to follow. With a little help from forensic criminalist Lincoln Rhyme, Dance must use her kinesic and investigative skills in an attempt to find the killer before more people die.
Deaver has written the actual song, 'Your Shadow'. Readers are able to download it from www.jefferydeaver.com.
Recenzii
The best psychological thriller writer around.
If you want thrills, Deaver is your man.
Deaver never disappoints.
A master of misdirection.
One of the world's best plotters.
Grand master of the ticking-clock thriller.
With a game of cat and mouse that is full of twists and turns, expect family and friends to queue up to borrow this one
Excellent . . . plenty of surprises and red herrings
'Written with Deaver's usual keen eye for dialogue and character and featuring his customary right-angle plot twists, the novel will be a sure-fire hit . . . This may be the most compelling of the Dance books.'
The most creative, skilled and intriguing thriller writer in the world . . . [Deaver] has produced a stunning series of bestsellers with unique characterisation, intelligent characters, beguiling plots and double-barrelled and sometimes triple-barrelled solutions.
The pace is terrific, the suspense inexorable, and there is an excellent climax . . . If you want thrills, Deaver is your man.
Jeffery Deaver is grand master of the ticking-clock thriller.
'The danger for thriller writers is that they become so comfortable with their detectives, Dance, Rhymes, Sachs and Co, that new readers feel excluded. Deaver always avoids this, though, elegantly reprising their back stories for newcomers without boring the faithful.' *****
Deaver writes crime fiction - thrillers you want to race through - and he's bloody good . . . If he was real, 007 would be a Deaver fan
Sometimes the purest escapism can only be found in a knuckle-bleaching thriller that messes with your blood pressure. This is a job for Jeffery Deaver, on top form with another case for special agent Kathryn Dance . . . a classically twisty slice of Deaver suspense
