  • "In Washington, D.C., when Henry Loving targets police detective Ryan Kessler, the investigator and his family are immediately put under government protection. Loving is a ruthless 'lifter', hired to extract information from his victims. And he uses whatever means necessary, including kidnapping, torturing or killing their family.

  • "Sinds een ongeluk tijdens een patrouille is rechercheur Bryan aan zijn bureau gekluisterd. Op dit moment zit hij op Fraudezaken, waar hij uitsluitend routinezaken behandelt - de grote, interessante zaken worden doorgestuurd naar de FBI. Het verbaast hem dan ook zeer als hij erachter komt dat hij het doelwit is van de 'lifter', crimineel jargon voor iemand die voor de onderwereld informatie achterhaalt - op wat voor manier dan ook."

  • "Ein atemberaubendes Duell auf Leben und Tod Sein Name ist Corte, und er ist ein "Hirte". Im Auftrag des Staates übernimmt er die Fälle, bei denen normale Bodyguards nichts ausrichten können. Als er erfährt, dass die Familie Kessler von Henry Loving - einem berüchtigten Entführer und Folterer - bedroht wird, ist er sofort bereit, ihren Schutz zu übernehmen. Zwischen Corte und Loving ist noch eine alte Rechnung offen. Um den Kesslers wirklichen Schutz bieten zu können, muss Corte allerdings erst einmal herausfinden, worauf Loving es eigentlich abgesehen hat. Denn in dieser Familie ist niemand, was er auf den ersten Blick zu sein scheint ... Jeffery Deaver gilt als einer der weltweit besten Autoren intelligenter psychologischer Thriller. Wie kaum ein anderer beherrscht der von seinen Fans und den Kritikern gleichermassen geliebte Jeffery Deaver den schier unerträglichen Nervenkitzel, verführt mit falschen Fährten, überrascht mit blitzschnellen Wendungen und streut dem Leser auf seine unnachahmliche Art Sand in die Augen. Seit dem ersten grossen Erfolg als Schriftsteller hat er sich aus seinem Beruf als Rechtsanwalt zurückgezogen und lebt nun abwechselnd in Virginia und Kalifornien. Seine Bücher, die in 25 Sprachen übersetzt werden und in 150 Ländern erscheinen, haben ihm bereits zahlreiche renommierte Auszeichnungen eingebracht. Die kongeniale Verfilmung seines Romans 'Die Assistentin' unter dem Titel 'Der Knochenjäger' (mit Denzel Washington und Angelina Jolie in den Hauptrollen) war weltweit ein sensationeller Kinoerfolg und hat dem faszinierenden Ermittler- und Liebespaar Lincoln Rhyme und Amelia Sachs eine riesige Fangemeinde erobert."
