  • "Das Böse hat eine Stimme: Karin Slaughter. Selbst der erfahrene Detective Michael Ormewood vom Atlanta Police Department ist schockiert, als er die ermordete junge Frau in ihrem Blut vor sich sieht. Wie gelähmt starrt er auf die Tüte in seinen Händen, die ein Kollege ihm zugeworfen hat. Sie enthält ein Beweisstück - die Zunge des Opfers. Das Werk eines krankhaften Serientäters? Alles deutet darauf hin. Michael sieht sich daher gezwungen, mit Special Agent Will Trent zusammenzuarbeiten, einem undurchsichtigen Mann, dem er instinktiv misstraut. Und mit der Polizistin Angie Polaski, die verdeckt ermittelt und früher seine Geliebte war - bevor sie sein Feind wurde. Nur wenige Stunden nach Auffinden der Leiche verschafft sich das Böse dann Zutritt zu seinem eigenen Haus. Und es sieht ganz danach aus, als ob das Geheimnis hinter all dem Wahnsinn untrennbar mit Michael verknüpft ist. Längst Vergangenes sickert in die Gegenwart, wie Gift in seine Adern ... "Lesen Sie diesen Thriller nicht, wenn Sie allein sind. Lesen Sie ihn nicht nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit. ABER LESEN SIE IHN!!!" (Daily Express)"
  • "Atlanta, 2006, le détective Michael Ormewood découvre le corps d'une prostituée, la langue coupée, et s'inquiète de savoir que d'autres ont subi le même sort. John Shelley, qui vient de passer vingt ans en prison pour le meurtre de sa petite amie qu'il n'est pas sûr d'avoir commis, est poursuivi par un maître chanteur. Sans le savoir les deux hommes sont liés par une même affaire."
  • "When Atlanta police detective Michael Ormewood is called out to a murder scene at the notorious Grady Homes, he finds himself faced with one of the most brutal killings of his career: Aleesha Monroe is found in the stairwell in a pool of her own blood, her body horribly mutilated. As a one-off killing it's shocking, but when it becomes clear that it's just the latest in a series of similar attacks, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation are called in, and Ormewood is forced into working with Special Agent Will Trent of the Criminal Apprehension Team - a man he instinctively dislikes. But then, only twenty-four hours later, the violence Michael sees around him every day explodes in his own back yard. And, it seems the mystery behind Monroe's death is inextricably entangled with a past that refuses to stay buried."
  • "Bestseller Slaughter departs from her Grant County crime series (Faithless, etc.) with a stand-alone thriller notable mainly for a jolting mid-book twist similar to one Ira Levin used with more subtlety in A Kiss Before Dying. The case of a prostitute's brutal murder provides a welcome break for Michael Ormewood, a cynical, world-weary Atlanta cop weighed down by dealing with the city's underclass and the heartbreak of a mentally impaired son. Since the victim's tongue was severed, linking the crime to several other recent outrages, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation intervenes. Suspicions focus on a recently paroled sex offender, John Shelley, who viciously butchered a neighbor more than a decade earlier. Slaughter unexpectedly switches the narrative's perspective, but the shock value garnered by the plot twist isn't matched by the predictable denouement."@en
  • ""Slaughter continues to obsess over her favorite theme--the close link between intimacy and violence.... [T]here's a serial killer at work in Atlanta, and he likes his victims young. His telltale m.o.--biting off his victims' tongues--brings in Will Trent, an agent from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, but the latest vicious murder doesn't fit with the previous cases.... Will is assigned to work the case with local detective Michael Ormewood, a hard-to-read veteran who resents Will's presence. Will also calls upon vice-squad undercover agent Angie Polaski, a lifelong friend...--their on-again, off-again romantic relationship is a source of comfort and frustration for both of them"--Booklist, quoted in Amazon.com, for the English edition."
  • ""From Atlanta's wealthiest suburbs to its stark inner-city housing projects, a killer has crossed the boundaries of wealth and race. And the people who are chasing him must cross those boundaries, too. Among them is Michael Ormewood, a veteran detective whose marriage is hanging by a thread--and whose arrogance and explosive temper are threatening his career ... ""@en
