Lisa Gardner Knihy

Pred siedmimi rokmi bola Flora Danová len bezstarostná vysokoškoláčka. Nič na svete ju netrápilo, no potom ju počas bujarej zábavy cez jarné prázdniny uniesli a nasledujúcich 472 dní musela chtiac-nechtiac zisťovať, čo všetko človek ešte znesie. Ako zázrakom tú hrôzu prežila a celých päť rokov pracovala na tom, aby sa dokázala vrátiť do obyčajného života. Pomáhal jej s tým špecialista FBI na prácu s obeťami Samuel Keynes. Matka ju nikdy neprestala mať rada, brat sa však desil toho, na čo sa v zajatí premenila. Stenu jej izby pokrývali fotografie dievčat, ktoré zmizli a už nikdy sa nevrátili. Bostonskú detektívku D. D. Warrenovú privolajú na miesto činu s mŕtvym mužom a so spútanou nahou ženou, ktorá ho zabila. Dozvie sa, že Flora od svojho návratu do spoločnosti stihla podobne vytrestať troch ďalších mužov podozrivých z unášania mladých dievčat. Je to obeť alebo bojovníčka, ktorá berie spravodlivosť do vlastných rúk? O páchateľoch toho však vie veľa aj z vlastných skúseností, nemohla by byť preto kľúčom k nájdeniu študentky, ktorej únos otriasol celým mestom? Keď odrazu zmizne aj Flora, Warrenová si uvedomí, že tu ide o niečo ešte desivejšie. V meste je niekto oveľa nebezpečnejší a robí všetko pre to, aby sa Flora tentoraz už naozaj nevrátila domov.

Koho miluješ? Brian Darby leží mŕtvy na dlážke v kuchyni. Jeho manželka, príslušníčka štátnej polície Tessa Leoniová, ho údajne zastrelila v sebaobrane. Jej verziu udalostí podporujú početné zranenia. S takým prípadom by si mala skúsená detektívka D. D. Warrenová poradiť raz-dva, ale kam zmizla šesťročná Tessina dcéra? A čoho všetkého si schopná... Vyšetrovanie Darbyho smrti rýchlo prerastie do celoštátneho pátrania po stratenom dievčatku. D. D. Warrenová musí spojiť sily s bývalým milencom, detektívom Bobbym Dodgeom, aby prerazila modrý múr solidarity medzi príslušníkmi štátnej polície. Počas odhaľovania starých rodinných tajomstiev sa usiluje vcítiť do situácie Tessy Leoniovej, hliadkarky, ktorá zastrelila svojho manžela. Naozaj ho zabila v sebaobrane? A bola by schopná ublížiť vlastnému dieťaťu? ...aby si ju zachránila? Tessu Leoniovú to najhoršie ešte len čaká. pohybuje sa na tenkom ľade, nemá sa koho obrátiť a nemôže nikomu veriť. Má len jeden jediný cieľ a musí naň vynaložiť všetky zostávajúce sily. Nezastaví sa pred ničím, obetuje všetko a beda tým, čo jej stoja v ceste.

Je dokonalá dcéra? Pekný jesenný deň v Bostone pokazí chladnokrvná vražda štyroch členov rodiny vo vlastnom dome. Najstaršia dcéra, šestnásťročná Roxanna Baezová, je po tomto zločine stále nezvestná. Svedkovia tvrdia, že krátko pred streľbou vzala na prechádzku dva rodinné psy. Mala šťastie a podarilo sa jej pred páchateľom ujsť? Alebo jej neprítomnosť svedčí o čomsi zlovestnejšom? Je dokonalá vrahyňa? Prípadu sa ujme skúsená detektívka D. D. Warrenová. Rovnako nezaháľa ani Flora Danová, ktorá prežila osobnú tragédiu a stala sa znej akási samozvaná vyšetrovateľka, možno aj pomstiteľka. Obom ženám nejde do hlavy tragický koniec rodiny s nie najlepšou minulosťou, ktorá sa však podľa všetkého napokon ocitla na správnej ceste. Pátranie naberá na obrátkach, jedno miesto činu vedie k ďalšiemu. D. D. a Flora musia spojiť sily, aby vyriešili prípad plný rodinných tajomstiev a pochopili význam stôp, čo za sebou zanechalo mladé dievča. Či už ide o obeť, alebo podozrivú, jedno je jasné: Roxy Baezová ešte nepovedala posledné slovo.

O štyri dni ma niekto príde zabiť. Najprv ma však musí chytiť.“ Detektívku D. D. Warrenovú neprekvapí len tak hocičo. Osamelá žena, ktorá sa potuluje neďaleko miesta činu, ju však ohromí nezvyčajnou prosbou. Charlene Rosalind Carter Grantová sa nazdáva, že o štyri dni ju niekto zabije, a špičkovú bostonskú detektívku žiada o vyšetrenie svojej budúcej vraždy. Charlene jej vyrozpráva neuveriteľný príbeh. Každý rok dvadsiateho prvého januára zomrie ďalšia Charlenina priateľka z malého mesta v New Hampshire. Vraždy sa doteraz nepodarilo objasniť. Z trojice kamarátok zostala nažive už len Charlene a počíta hodiny do svojej smrti. Detektívka Warrenová však rýchlo zistí, že Charlene Grantová sa nevzdá bez boja – výborne strieľa, nebojí sa bitiek a je rýchla ako málokto. V detektívke to zároveň vzbudzuje podozrenie, či je Charlene naozaj obeťou, alebo páchateľka dokonalých zločinov. Vyšetruje tak dva prípady naraz: hľadá vraha, ktorý chladnokrvne likviduje bostonských pedofilov, a pritom objasňuje vraždy Charleniných kamarátok. Musí to stihnúť pred desivým výročím dvadsiateho prvého januára. Je mladá žena, ktorú prenasledujú temné tiene minulosti, skutočne v nebezpečenstve, alebo skrýva desivé tajomstvo a najväčším nebezpečenstvom je ona sama?

Som doktorka Adeline Glenová a necítim bolesť. Bostonská detektívka D. D. Warrenová sa po zotmení dostáva na miesto činu, kde zažíva praskanie podlahy a tichú uspávanku, ale nič si nepamätá. Neskôr zistí, že sa jej podarilo vystreliť zo služobnej zbrane, je vážne zranená a nemôže sa vrátiť do práce, ktorú miluje. Moja sestra, Shana Dayová, je notoricky známa vrahyňa, ktorá prvýkrát vraždila ako štrnásťročná a vo väzení zabila viac ľudí než na slobode. O šesť týždňov neskôr nájdu ďalšiu ženu zavraždenú vo vlastnej posteli, pričom na mieste sú rovnaké rekvizity ako predtým: fľaša šampanského a červená ruža. D. D. je jediná, ktorá sa mohla ocitnúť v blízkosti „vraha s ružou“, no stále sa nevie postarať o svoje dieťa ani si spomenúť na detaily z noci, ktorá jej zmenila život. Náš otec, Harry Day, bol sériový vrah, ktorý pred štyridsiatimi rokmi dobrovoľne odišiel zo sveta. Vrah s ružou však vie o ňom viac, než by mal. Shana tvrdí, že mi pomôže, ale to, že necítim bolesť, neznamená, že mi nemôže ublížiť vlastná rodina. D. D. sa ešte nevrátila do práce, ale je opäť na love, pretože vrah s ružou ohrozuje aj jej. D. D. vie, že jediný spôsob, ako ho dostať, je nebojácnosť.
