The iron house

At the Iron Mountain Home for Boys, there was nothing but time. Time to burn and time to kill, time for two young orphans to learn that life isn't won without a fight. Julian survives only because his older brother, Michael, is fearless and fiercely protective. When tensions boil over and a boy is brutally killed, there is only one sacrifice left for Michael to make: He flees the orphanage and takes the blame with him. For two decades, Michael has been an enforcer in New York's world of organized crime, a prince of the streets so widely feared he rarely has to kill anymore. But the life he's fought to build unravels when he meets Elena, a beautiful innocent who teaches him the meaning and power of love. He wants a fresh start with her, the chance to start a family like the one he and Julian never had. But someone else is holding the strings. And escape is not that easy... The mob boss who gave Michael his blessing to begin anew is dying, and his son is intent on making Michael pay for his betrayal. Determined to protect the ones he loves, Michael spirits Elena- who knows nothing of his past crimes, or the peril he's laid at her door- back to North Carolina, to the place he was born and the brother he lost so long ago. There, he will encounter a whole new level of danger, a thicket of deceit and violence that leads inexorably to the one place he's been running from his whole life: Iron House.

  • "There was nothing but time at Iron House. Time to burn, time to kill, and time for Michael to emerge strong and unforgiving while his brother, Julian, became a tormented soul at the orphanage for boys. Two decades later Michael returns to North Carolina with a sentence on his head, the mob in hot pursuit, and his disturbed brother in trouble of a different kind. One man is destined to break the chains of his fate."
  • "Der neue grosse Thriller des zweifachen Edgar-Preisträgers Zwei kleine Kinder werden an einem eisigen Bach ausgesetzt. Zwei Jungen müssen kämpfen, um zu überleben. Zwei Männer führen ganz unterschiedliche Leben. Und doch sind beide unlösbar miteinander verbunden. Als der zwölfjährige Julian im Waisenhaus seinen brutalen Peiniger umbringt, nimmt sein älterer Bruder Michael die Schuld auf sich und flieht nach New York - mitten ins Herz des organisierten Verbrechens. Zwei Jahrzehnte später kehrt Michael nach North Carolina zurück, mit skrupellosen Killern auf den Fersen; sein lange verloren geglaubter Bruder kämpft dagegen mit ganz eigenen Dämonen. Doch die beiden Brüder werden das Rätsel ihrer Vergangenheit nur gemeinsam lösen können. Edgar-Preisträger John Hart zeigt erneut, dass er Spannung erzeugen kann wie kein zweiter. John Hart, geboren 1965 in North Carolina, arbeitete als Rechtsanwalt, bevor er sich seinen Traum erfüllte und seinen ersten Roman schrieb - "Der König der Lügen". Es folgten "Der dunkle Fluss" und 'Das letzte Kind', die beide mit dem renommierten Edgar-Allan-Poe-Award ausgezeichnet wurden. John Hart lebt mit seiner Frau und seinen beiden Töchtern in Rowan County, North Carolina."
