State of Mind: AND Just Cause (Taschenbuch) von John Katzenbach   Synopsis: STATE OF MIND A professor of psychology, Jeffrey Clayton struggles with a dark past. Twenty-five years before, he, his mother and sister fled his tyrannical father - a man who was later suspected in the murder of a student. Though never charged, he commited suicide. Or so it seemed. Now someone sends Jeffrey's sister a cryptic note that carries a personal and terrifying message: I have found you. JUST CAUSE Matthew Cowart, a seasoned newsman, doesn't at firt believe it when a death-row inmate proclaims his innocence. But as he begins to look at the case and cuts through the fog of fear and dubious evidence, he comes a believer. He even wins a Pulitzer for his investigation into the case. He has also made a fatal error, because he's enabled a monster to be released, one who has not yet finished killing... Rezensionen: Susan Clayton, a professional puzzle maker, is stumped by this anonymous note left at her door: "THE FIRST PERSON POSSESSES THAT WHICH THE SECOND PERSON HID." Distracted by the sweltering Florida Keys evening and her cancer-stricken mother in the next room, Susan spends hours before she solves the riddle--it means "I have found you." Ominous words, considering that a serial killer is stalking Florida. And in this novel, Florida is ominous to begin with: it's set in aRobocop-like future society where people carry semiautomatics like breath mints, road rage reigns, and folks gladly trade their right to privacy for a place in a protected community called the Fifty-first State (Katzenbach's scary takeoff on Disney's planned town of Celebration, Florida). Meanwhile, Susan's brother Jeffrey, an authority on serial killers, is finishing up a lecture when his silent security alarm flashes. His metal-detecting alarm was set off by special agent Robert Martin of "State Security" (an American-style SS), who confronts the good professor with some bad news about his late father, a psychopath. Could he be the one who left Susan that threatening note? Can anybody stop the Fifty-first State from getting even scarier? With mounting suspense, Jeffrey, Susan, and their ailing mother put their heads together to keep the futuristic body count from getting wholly out of control. There is perhaps a touch less gore than Katzenbach fans may be used to, but no fewer thrills. He has seen the future, and it will make your hair stand on end.--Rebekah Warren-- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe:Taschenbuch © 1998-2001 Amazon.com, Inc. und Tochtergesellschaften Alle Rezensionen ansehen...   Angebote zu  State ,  Mind ,  Just  ab 1 Euro!
