Publisher Description
Niemand würde Jake Cole trauen. Das Leben auf der Straße hat ihn hart gemacht. Trotzdem ist er einer der besten Sonderermittler des FBI. Keiner versteht Tatorte so gut wie der Mann mit den vielen Tattoos. Doch dann tauchen die brutal zugerichteten Leichen einer jungen Frau und ihres Sohnes auf. Für Jake gibt es keinen Zweifel: Der Mörder seiner Mutter ist zurück. Die Jagd nach ihm treibt Jake an den Rand des Wahnsinns. Er verfolgt, jagt und hetzt ihn, schlaflos und vom Adrenalin getrieben. Doch der Bloodman kennt ihn gut. Besser als Jake sich selbst.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Former antiques dealer Pobi boldly announces his arrival as a cunning novelist with this grim and gory debut thriller. FBI contractor Jake Cole, burdened with an uncanny ability to mentally recreate 3D crime scenes, returns home to Montauk, NY to care for his estranged father, a renowned painter suffering from Alzheimer's. But Jake is soon called into action by local authorities to help capture a ruthless serial killer who scalps and skins his victims. Tormented by his morbid profession, a dysfunctional family history, and the blood-thirsty psychopath, Jake must immerse himself in a past he thought he left behind decades ago. As the victims pile up and a Category 5 hurricane bears down on the coastal town he becomes convinced that the secret behind the thousands of mysterious canvases stacked along the walls of his father's art studio will lead him to the killer. Pobi revels in grisly scenes, and though the chilling finale might feel lacking, the author's cinematic vision and precise attention to detail, as well as a subtle trail of clues and a tight, macabre plot, trump character clich s and the incomplete denouement.
