Ladataan... The Carnival MasterTekijä: Craig Russell
![]() - Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. Chief Commissar Jan Fabel goes to Cologne during Karneval to help give advice on a serial killer investigation. The ability of Craig Russell to weave a tale of mystery and not bore with a serial killer is very talented. He used three to four interwoven stories to keep the reader from getting board all culminating at the end for one fascinating novel. He also has excellent character development and no one person is safe. Der Schotte Craig Russell versteht es meisterlich, eine komplexe Handlung mit einer schier unerträglichen Spannung zu kombinieren. Die Protagonisten um die Hauptfigur Jan Fabel sind glaubhaft beschrieben und agieren durchaus eigenständig. Ein gemeinsames Band verbindet die ersten vier Romane und läßt so das Gefühl eines großen Ganzen im Leser erwachsen. Da die Romane stellenweise sehr harte Szenen aufweisen, sind sie für Leser mit schwachen Nerven nicht uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen. Allerdings schreibt Russell viel zu gut, als das er zu billilgen Schockmomenten zuflucht nehmen müsste. Vielmehr sind diese Szenen Spiegelbilder der gewaltbereiten Zeit, in der wir Leben. It is Carnival time in Cologne and a killer is on the prowl. Jan Fabel,who is the head of Hamburg's Murder Squad becomes involved in the hunt for this strange killer,'The Clown',who after strangling the victims,slices away an exact amount of flesh,which is later cooked and eaten. At the same time his old enemy,the Ukrainian,Viktor Vitrenko has surfaced,and is again causing havoc with his criminal activities. This is a roller-coaster of a read which I for one could not put down until the end.A word of warning however and that is that is is quite important to read this book,which is the fourth in the series,in order.In other words First read 'Blood Eagle',follow this with 'Brother Grimm,then 'Eternal' and finally this one. If you don't then you will miss out on the continuing story of Jan Fabel and his team. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Jan Fabel thought he was finished with death. Instead, while he is preparing for a new career outside the police, a Cologne murder detective asks for his help in tracking down the Carnival Cannibal, a terrifying serial killer who has killed each year for three years at the start of Cologne s world-famous annual Carnival. Maria Klee, Fabel s deputy, is close to mental breakdown and on extended sick leave. Unknown to anyone, Maria also heads for Cologne to hunt down a different, even more dangerous killer. One with whom she has a score to settle. Taras Buslenko, a Ukrainian special-forces commander prepares his hand-picked undercover spetznaz unit for a black operation into Cologne. Their aim: to end, with extreme prejudice, the rule of an ex-pat Ukrainian crime-boss of legendary cruelty. Their orders: to let nothing or nobody get in their way. Three paths converging on Cologne at Carnival: the feast of flesh, a time when the world is traditionally turned on its head and Chaos rules. And everybody hides behind a mask. Fabel finds himself on a trail of betrayal and vengeance, violence and death. And once more faces his greatest enemy. The true Master of the Carnival. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
