Manuela Thurner Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

Another authentic, spine-tingling thriller from the woman who has been there herself.

Addie en Valerie zouden voor altijd vriendinnen blijven, maar door verraad in hun jeugdjaren verliezen ze elkaar uit het oog. Vijftien jaar later heeft Valerie op de plaatselijke televisiezender naam gemaakt als weervrouw en draait Addies leven voornamelijk om de zorg voor haar gehandicapte broertje. Wanneer Addie op een dag thuiskomt van haar zoveelste mislukte internetdate, wordt er op de deur geklopt. Haar oude vriendin Valerie staat op de stoep met een wanhopig gezicht en bloed op haar mouwen. 'Er is iets vreselijks gebeurd en jij bent de enige die me kan helpen.'

Renowned sex-crimes prosecutor and bestselling author Linda Fairstein sends her acclaimed heroine -- the stylish and steely-nerved D.A. Alexandra Cooper -- on a hunt for a killer inside New York City's glitzy art world. Alexandra Cooper has seen many murder victims, but few more disturbing than the silk-clad body of a woman, her hands and feet tied to a ladder, pulled from the turbulent waters at Manhattan's northern tip. With her colleagues, including NYPD detectives Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace, Alex races against the clock and hopes for a "cold hit" -- a DNA match that would reveal the identity of the murderer by linking the crime to someone already in the police database. But as the case pulls her into the exclusive world of East Side auction houses and cutting-edge Chelsea galleries, Alex discovers she may be marked as an expendable commodity in a chilling and deadly scheme....

Each time he struck, he took two victims. Day after day, he waited for the first body to be discovered--a body containing all the clues the investigators needed to find the second victim, who waited...prey to a slow but certain death. The clock ticked--salvation was possible. The police were never in time. Years have passed; but for this killer, time has stood still. As a heat wave of epic proportions descends, the game begins again. Two girls have disappeared...and the clock is ticking. Rookie FBI agent Kimberly Quincy knows the killer’s deadline can be met. But she’ll have to break some rules to beat an exactingly vicious criminal at a game he’s had time to perfect. For the Killing Hour has arrived....
