P.J. TRACY

A serial killer is terrifying enough, but when the murder videos begin showing up online well, then it becomes an issue for computer analyst Grace MacBride and her eccentric crew of geniuses and mavericks. Recruited by the FBI, MacBride, along with Minneapolis cops Leo Magozzi and Gino Rolseth, work together to hunt down the killer. Using sophisticated tracking software, MacBride and her team scour the internet for signs of a possible attack, trying to weed out the staged videos from the real thing in hopes of finding a pattern. But bodies keep turning up, and videos keep being posted, and the team is getting desperate to save lives. It''s not until they come across a sinister website that a real lead is discovered. And it takes them all the way to a shocking conclusion . . .

Cuando los directivos de la compañía de software Monkeewrench se dan cuenta de que un criminal está reproduciendo los asesinatos de uno de sus juegos de ordenador, no se lo pueden creer. Una mujer joven y un corredor ya han muerto y ellos, especialmente su fundadora, Grace McBrade se encuentra en una disyuntiva: o bien habla con la policia, o bien deja que Monkeewrench sea acusada de inspirar y propiciar los asesinatos. Desesperados por evitar mas muertes, Grace y su equipo estudian a las victimas de su videojuego para intentar averiguar quien sera el proximo. Lo que ellos no saben es que el detective de homicidio de Mineapolis, Leo Magozzi, anda tras ellos porque ha descubierto que las identidades de McBride y sus colegas son inventadas por razones que el FBI no quiere comentar, pero que Magozzi ha descubierto que los relacionan con otra serie de asesinatos una decada antes en Atlanta.

Tracy follows up his bestselling debut "Monkeewrench" with this second mystery featuring Minneapolis detectives Leo Magozzi and Gino Rolseth. When an elderly man is murdered, the detectives once again call on Grace McBride and her offbeat crew at a little software company called Monkeewrench.

Diesen atemberaubenden Thriller werden Sie nicht mehr aus der Hand legen!

In this electrifying debut, the slaying of an old couple in small town America looks like one-off act of brutal retribution. But at the same time, in Minneapolis, teams of detectives scramble to stop a sickeningly inventive serial killer striking again in a city paralysed by fear. When the two separate investigations converge on an isolated catholic boarding school, decades old secrets begin to fall away. It seems an old killer has resurfaced. Yet still the killer's real identity remains dangerously out of reach ...

Minneapolis detectives Leo Magozzi and Gino Rolseth are bored-the Twin Cities have been in a murder-free dry spell. But when elderly Morey Gilbert is found dead, the crime drought ends. And the detectives are ready for some help-from Grace McBride and her offbeat crew at a little software company called Monkeewrench.

It should have been a simple journey: a drive from Minneapolis to Green Bay, Wisconsin. But a couple of unplanned detours lead Grace MacBride, Annie Belinsky, and police Deputy Sharon Mueller deep into the northern woods, far from civilization and a mobile phone signal. Then the car breaks down. The nervous search for a landline and a mechanic leads the women to Four Corners, a sleepy crossroads town. And place they soon wish they''d never stumbled on - because something terrible happened in Four Corners...Filled with the same crackling dialogue, pace, and rich vivid characters as Want to Play? and Live Bait, Dead Run firmly establishes PJ Tracy as one of the most exciting thriller writers in the world.

Two bodies are found in the snowmen, and a day later, in a nearby county, rookie sheriff Iris Rikker makes a similar discovery. Soon Detectives Gino and Magozzi are heading north in the midst of the worst blizzard seen in Minneapolis for years to join the two investigations.
