Sara Linton, Kinderärztin und Gerichtspathologin, findet Sybil Adams verblutend auf der Toilette eines Restaurants. Zwei tiefe Schnitte in ihrem Bauch bilden ein tödliches Kreuz. Dass Sybil blind und damit so gut wie wehrlos war, macht den brutalen Mord noch entsetzlicher. Das Motiv für die Tat ist völlig unklar. Als nur ein paar Tage später eine weitere junge Frau gekreuzigt aufgefunden wird, begreift Sara, dass in der bisher so friedlichen Stadt ein sadistischer Serienmörder lauert...
Der Nachname der Autorin ist Programm. Die Gewaltdarstellungen sind sehr drastisch und schonungslos. Rassismus wird zwar negativ dargestellt, aber unter Verwendung des N-Wortes.

Really enjoyed this new series for me. 3.75 stars. I hesitate to rate it a solid 4, but in the interest of being fair, will put that here.

While a bit dated in technology and cultural issues, I liked this book a lot. It definitely has some graphic violence which is mostly discussed after the fact but in great detail. I wasn't certain about who the bad guy was until pretty late in the book, although I did wonder about the guy briefly early on but then I moved on to other possibilities.
You know, I can't say that I genuinely liked any of the characters but I didn't really dislike any of them. They felt like real folks, very flawed and just trying to get on with their lives.
I'll certainly keep going with the series. I want to know what happens with them next.
