The third Kathryn Dance novel from Number One bestseller Jeffery Deaver.Kayleigh Towne is a beautiful and successful singer-songwriter, and Edwin Sharp is her biggest fan. When she replies to one of his fan letters with 'XO', Edwin is convinced she loves him, and that her latest hit song 'Your Shadow' was written for him. Nothing Kayleigh or her lawyers can say persuades him otherwise.
Then the singer gets an anonymous phone call; it's the first verse of 'Your Shadow' playing. Soon after, one of the crew is horribly murdered. Kayleigh's friend Kathryn Dance, a special agent with the California Bureau of Investigation, knows that stalking crimes are not one-off occurrences, and, sure enough, more verses of the song are played as warnings of death to follow. With a little help from forensic criminalist Lincolyn Rhyme, Dance must use her kinesic and investigative skills in an attempt to find the killer before more people die.
Deaver has written the actual song, 'Your Shadow'. Readers are able to download it from www.jefferydeaver.com.
Autoren-Porträt von Jeffery Deaver
Jeffery Deaver gilt als einer der weltweit besten Autoren intelligenter psychologischer Thriller. Wie kaum ein anderer beherrscht der von seinen Fans und den Kritikern gleichermaßen geliebte Jeffery Deaver den schier unerträglichen Nervenkitzel, verführt mit falschen Fährten, überrascht mit blitzschnellen Wendungen und streut dem Leser auf seine unnachahmliche Art Sand in die Augen. Seit dem ersten großen Erfolg als Schriftsteller hat er sich aus seinem Beruf als Rechtsanwalt zurückgezogen und lebt nun abwechselnd in Virginia und Kalifornien. Seine Bücher, die in 25 Sprachen übersetzt werden und in 150 Ländern erscheinen, haben ihm bereits zahlreiche renommierte Auszeichnungen eingebracht. Die kongeniale Verfilmung seines Romans "Die Assistentin" unter dem Titel "Der Knochenjäger" (mit Denzel Washington und Angelina Jolie in den Hauptrollen) war weltweit ein sensationeller Kinoerfolg und hat dem faszinierenden Ermittler- und Liebespaar Lincoln Rhyme und Amelia Sachs eine riesige Fangemeinde erobert.

Rezension zu „XO “
'Devious, diabolical and devilish ... It's Dance's toughest case, and one of Deaver's best books.' -- New York Times With a game of cat and mouse that is full of twists and turns, expect family and friends to queue up to borrow this one -- Candis Excellent ... plenty of surprises and red herrings -- Publishers Weekly, starred review 'Written with Deaver's usual keen eye for dialogue and character and featuring his customary right-angle plot twists, the novel will be a sure-fire hit ...

[Deaver] has produced a stunning series of bestsellers with unique characterisation, intelligent characters, beguiling plots and double-barrelled and sometimes triple-barrelled solutions. -- Daily Telegraph The pace is terrific, the suspense inexorable, and there is an excellent climax ... If you want thrills, Deaver is your man. -- Guardian Jeffery Deaver is grand master of the ticking-clock thriller. -- Kathy Reichs 'The danger for thriller writers is that they become so comfortable with their detectives, Dance, Rhymes, Sachs and Co, that new readers feel excluded. Deaver always avoids this, though, elegantly reprising their back stories for newcomers without boring the faithful.' ***** -- Daily Express Deaver writes crime fiction - thrillers you want to race through - and he's bloody good ... If he was real, 007 would be a Deaver fan -- The Big Issue Sometimes the purest escapism can only be found in a knuckle-bleaching thriller that messes with your blood pressure. This is a job for Jeffery Deaver, on top form with another case for special agent Kathryn Dance ... a classically twisty slice of Deaver suspense -- Saga Magazine For suspense, leave it to Deaver. -- The Weekend Gold Coast Bulletin Deaver at his forensic best. -- The Courier Mail The grand master of the thriller genre has done it again with a ripping new Kathryn Dance novel. -- The
