Цикл книг «Роберт Хантер» — 13 книг

Два детектива Роберт Хантер и Карлос Карвальо расследуют серию изощренных садистских убийств: на шее каждой жертвы вырезан таинственный знак в виде двойного распятия. На первый взгляд между жертвами нет никакой связи, а убийца настолько методичен, что не оставляет на месте преступления ни одной улики, и следствие заходит в тупик. И вот сам Роберт Хантер чувствует - следующим будет он сам.

В Лос-Анджелесе под Рождество убит священник. Обстоятельства убийства таковы, что можно предположить ритуальный характер мерзкого святотатства. Однако за этим последовала смерть молодой женщины, от подробностей которой и у опытных полицейских кровь застыла в жилах. Это позволило Робу Хантеру на миг почувствовать всю безграничную жестокость того, кто вызвал его на поединок. Столкнувшись лицом к лицу с абсолютным злом, не ведающим ни жалости, ни сострадания, Хантер понимает, что призван любой ценой остановить его...

Если вы полагаете, что вы в безопасности... вы ошибаетесь. Тело, найденное в заброшенной лавке мясника, тоже может стать орудием убийства. Вскрытие привело к смерти проводившего его мужчины. Но в первую очередь маньяка интересуют девушки, которых он даже оставляет в живых... ненадолго. Они гибнут при попытке спастись, не подозревая, что зашито у них внутри.
Их убивает то, что других делает сильнее...

В заброшенной лавке мясника обнаружено тело молодой женщины. Причина смерти неясна, следов борьбы или насилия нет, кроме зашитого надреза на теле, в котором что-то спрятано. То, что там скрыл убийца, повергает в шок даже опытных полицейских.
К расследованию привлекают специалиста по маньякам Роберта Хантера. На месте преступления он находит надпись, сделанную убийцей так, чтобы жертва видела ее: «Оно внутри тебя»...
Вскоре погибает еще одна девушка, внешне очень похожая на предыдущую жертву. На ее теле тоже есть зашитая рана, в которой оставлен «сюрприз». Детектив подозревает, что преступник удерживает силой еще нескольких женщин.
Однако убийца вовсе не хочет лишать их жизни. Он лишь исполняет их заветную мечту и дарит им именно такую любовь, о которой они всегда мечтали...

Этот роман основан на реальных событиях. Его автор, криминальный психолог, лично участвовал в расследовании более ста дел. Именно поэтому книга получилась столь увлекательной и реалистичной.
Автор создает напряженную атмосферу детектива, где каждая минута промедления может стоить жизни новой жертве...

IF HE WRITES YOUR NAME DOWN, IT'S A DEATH SENTENCE . . Los Angeles, December 4th - exactly three weeks until Christmas day. Angela Wood, a master in the art of pickpocket, has just finished for the day - six hundred and eighty-seven dollars – not bad for less than fifteen minutes work.

As she celebrates her profitable day with a cocktail, one of the patrons in the lounge she’s in catches her attention by being rude to an old man. Angela decides to teach him a lesson, and steals the man’s expensive-looking leather bag.

Inside is no money ... no laptop computer ... nothing of any value ... at least not to Angela. Just a black, leather-bound book, surprisingly heavy. Curiosity takes over and in the comfort of her apartment, Angela quickly leafs through the pages.

That is when the worst nightmare of her life begins.

A killing like no other.
A killer more twisted than he’s ever seen before.
A case that will test him to the limit.
Has Robert Hunter finally met his match?

‘Do you believe the Devil exists, Detective?’ the officer at the end of the line asks. ‘Because if you don’t . . . I’m sure you will once you get here.’

This is how Robert Hunter is called to one of the most vicious crime scenes he has ever attended. The disturbing nature of the murder is heightened when the autopsy reveals a poem, left by the killer, inside the body of their victim.

When another murder occurs, the methods and signature of each death differ so greatly that forensics fail to link the two crimes. But then a second part of the killer’s poem is found, implying that the murders are only just beginning.

Robert Hunter must now catch the most disciplined and systematic murderer that he has ever encountered. A killer who thrives on the victims' fear and to whom, death is a lesson that needs to be taught.

From #1 Sunday Times and multi-million-copy bestselling author, Chris Carter, comes the 13th chilling and adrenaline-packed Robert Hunter thriller.

When a routine autopsy on what looked like a straightforward hit-and-run leads the LA Chief Medical Examiner, Dr Carolyn Hove, to discover some puzzling inconsistencies, she calls in Detective Robert Hunter of the LAPD Ultra Violent Crimes Unit. Not only did Dr Hove discover that the death wasn’t caused by a hit-and-run, but she also found indications that the victim had been severely tortured prior to death.

What no one realises is that what Dr Hove has stumbled upon is just the tip of the iceberg and it will lead Hunter and his partner, Carlos Garcia, on the trail of a twisted and clever killer who hides in plain sight. A serial killer no one even knew existed – a killer who has always operated under the radar, expertly disguising every gruesome murder as an accidental death.

But with no leads as to why the victim was targeted, the investigation comes to a standstill, until another body is discovered with an alternative cause of death.

What becomes clear is that this serial killer isn’t going to stop – unless Hunter and Garcia can get to him.

But how do you investigate a murder when you have no victims? How do you catch a killer who leaves behind no crime scene? How do you stop a ghost who no one can prove even exists?
