Az ördög játszótere : [bűnügyi regény]
Matt Hunter ist zwanzig, als sein Leben in Trümmern liegt: Ohne es zu wollen, hat er einen Menschen getötet. Neun Jahre später will Matt nur noch an die Zukunft denken, die gemeinsame Zukunft mit seiner Frau Olivia und dem Kind, das sie erwarten. Doch dann überstürzen sich die Ereignisse. Matt erhält eine mysteriöse Videobotschaft, die Olivia mit einem andern Mann zeigt, und die Polizei steht vor Matts Tür: Ein Fremder, der Matt offenbar beschattet hatte, wurde ermordet ... Harlan Coben wurde 1962 in New Jersey geboren. Nachdem er zunächst Politikwissenschaft studiert hatte, arbeitete er später in der Tourismusbranche, bevor er sich ganz dem Schreiben widmete. Er hat bislang zwölf Thriller geschrieben, die in über zwanzig Sprachen übersetzt wurden. Harlan Coben wurde als erster Autor mit den drei wichtigsten amerikanischen Krimipreisen ausgezeichnet, dem Edgar Award, dem Shamus Award und dem Anthony Award. Harlan Coben gilt als einer der wichtigsten und erfolgreichsten Thrillerautoren seiner Generation. Er lebt mit seiner Frau und seinen vier Kindern in New Jersey.
Matt Hunter made a mistake when he was 20 years old and paid for it with a four-year stint in prison that left him with a determination never to be locked up again. Finally, his life is back on the promising track he was taking before he accidentally killed a man: He has a good job, a newly pregnant wife he adores, and is about to close on the home of their dreams. Then he gets a couple of bizarre photos on his cell phone that seem to show his wife in a compromising position with a black-haired stranger. But before he can sort out who sent the anonymous pictures and why, he's running from the law--especially from the cop who was his best friend in grade school, and a sharp young detective who's stepped right into the middle of an FBI investigation spurred by the discovery that a dead nun who wasn't who she claimed to be is somehow mixed up in Matt and Olivia Hunter's life. Coben deftly wields a complicated plot involving a missing stripper, a dead gangster, an incriminating videotape, and a couple of agents who aren't quite who they seem to be, while Hunter manages to hold onto his faith in Olivia despite her clouded past and uncertain future. Like all Coben's protagonists, (including the hero of his popular series starring sports agent turned detective Myron Bolitar) Hunter is a nice, middle-class New Jersey boy who's still the innocent of the title, despite the miscarriage of justice that sent him to prison. Or was it? That's the moral question at the heart of this tightly constructed thriller, which will no doubt shoot directly to the top of the bestseller list, and deservedly so.
