   Portlandský detektiv Archie Sheridan pronásleduje několik let krásnou sériovou vražedkyni Gretchen Lowellovou, až se nakonec z lovce promění v kořist. Gretchen ho deset dní krutě mučí, potom ho však nechá odejít a vydá se do rukou spravedlnosti. Detektiv ale ani potom nenachází klid, protože ho hrůzný zážitek fyzicky i psychicky silně poznamenal – stane se závislý na lécích proti bolesti, nedokáže se vrátit k někdejšímu životu a vzpomínky mu nedávají spát. Když v ulicích Portlandu začne řádit únosce mladých dívek, musí se vzchopit, sestavit novou vyšetřovací skupinu a znovu začít pracovat. K tomu, aby vraha zastavil, potřebuje informace od Gretchen, ale dobře ví, že ho další setkání s ní může už navždycky zničit. V Gretchen Lowellové ztvárnila Chainová vraha neméně zrůdného než byl Hannibal Lecter z Mlčení jehňátek. Její originální thriller nedovolí čtenáři vydechnout a od první až do poslední stránky ho bude udržovat v napětí.

   Gretchen Lowell, the world's most beautiful serial killer, has escaped from prison in Chelsea Cain's unpredictable, edge-of-your-seat story, Sweetheart. Portland detective Archie Sheridan, the former head of the Beauty Killer Task Force, hunted Gretchen Lowell for years before she kidnapped him, tortured him, and then let him go. Now that she is behind bars, Archie is finally piecing his life back together. He has returned home to his ex-wife and their two children and sworn off visiting Gretchen. Though it should feel like progress, being away from Gretchen makes him feel worse. When the body of a young woman is discovered in Forest Park, Archie is reminded of the last time they found a body there, more than a decade ago: it turned out to be Gretchen's first victim, and Archie's first case. The body can't be one of hers. She's in prison. Then the unthinkable happens: Gretchen escapes and, while the city is on edge, Archie is secretly relieved. He knows he's the only one who can capture her, and once he does he now has a twisted plan to get out from under her thumb for good. Each new novel in Chelsea Cain's scorching bestselling series—Heartsick, Sweetheart, Evil at Heart, and more—is a dark, thrilling, and unparalleled tour de force.

   Evil at Heart

   • Chelsea Cain

   4,0(119)Ohodnotit

   Chelsea Cain's novels featuring Portland detective Archie Sheridan and serial killer Gretchen Lowell have captivated fans through two New York Times bestselling entries, Heartsick and Sweetheart. And Gretchen Lowell is still on the loose. These days, she's more of a cause célèbre than a feared killer, thanks to sensationalist news coverage that has made her a star. Her face graces magazine covers and there have been sightings of her around the world. Most shocking of all, Portland Herald reporter Susan Ward has uncovered a bizarre fan club that celebrates the number of days she's been free. Archie Sheridan hunted Gretchen for a decade, and after his last ploy to catch her went spectacularly wrong, he remains hospitalized months later. When they last spoke, they entered a détente of sorts-Archie agreed not to kill himself if she agreed not to kill anyone else. But when a new body is found accompanied by Gretchen's trademark heart, all bets are off and Archie is forced back into action. Has the Beauty Killer returned to her gruesome ways, or has the cult surrounding her created a whole new evil? With Evil at Heart, Chelsea Cain is in top form. Delivering heart-stopping thrills and chills, she is an unmatched master of suspense.
