Don't Answer the Door: A totally addictive British crime thriller

Audiobook

"Ein perfider Mörder, hilflose Opfer und eine überforderte Polizei: Geniale Spannung von den Spiegel-Bestseller-Autoren Nicci French: Es ist heiß in diesem Sommer in London, ungewöhnlich heiß, und die Stadt heizt sich täglich mehr auf. Der Jahrhundertsommer, am Anfang freudig begrüßt, wird langsam zur Qual. Nur einer genießt die Hitze: Er beobachtet die Körper der Frauen. Heimlich. Er riecht sie, er prägt sie sich ein, er ergötzt sich an ihrer schweißnassen Haut ... Dann terrorisiert und schließlich tötet er sie. Die Polizei setzt alles daran, ihn zu überführen, doch der 'Sommermörder' ist immer etwas schneller als sie - bis er an Nadia gerät. Dieses eine Mal hat er seine Macht überschätzt. '...ein brillanter Psycho-Thriller, so packend, dass er kurze Nächte garantiert. Dieser Albtraum einer obsessiven Liebe ist beängstigend glaubwürdig.' -Brigitte"
