Lisa Regan Knihy

Telo mladého dievčaťa ležiace tvárou dolu v bazéne - biele tenisky stále na nohách, gaštanové vlasy rozprestreté ako aureola - je to posledné, čo detektívka Josie Quinnová očakáva, keď ráno pred vyučovaním na Dentonskej univerzite navštívi svojho brata. Keď vytiahne bezvládne telo dievčaťa z vody, spozná jej tvár a Josie sa v hlave začne ozývať jediná znepokojujúca otázka: Ako sa mohla nešťastnou náhodou utopiť plavecká šampiónka? Nysa Somersová bola vzorná študentka, milovaná dcéra a priateľka, ktorá by nikdy neurobila nič neuvážené, čo by ohrozilo jej štipendium, nieto ešte život. Josie a jej tím musia zistiť, čo sa stalo v hodinách, ktoré viedli k Nysinej smrti, a čo znamená záhadný záznam v kalendári, ktorý hovorí: Je čas stať sa morskou pannou. Na druhý deň zachváti neďaleký dom hasiča na dôchodku strašný požiar, ktorý takmer zabije jeho a jeho dve vnučky. Posledné slová, ktoré dievčatá počuli povedať svojho dedka, boli: Je čas stať sa zápalkou. Je to naozaj séria záhadných úmrtí, alebo má Josie pravdu, keď vidí smrteľný vzorec? Josie vie, že ak chce zastaviť tichého a vypočítavého sériového vraha skôr, než príde o ďalšie vzácne životy, musí čeliť hrozbe, o ktorej doteraz nemala ani tušenia...

Keď dvaja malí chlapci nájdu pri hre v lese pochované telo, policajnej náčelníčke Josie Quinnovej sa začínajú vracať nepríjemné spomienky. Aj ona sa ako dieťa v tom lese hrávala, aby bola čo najďalej od svojej nevyspytateľnej matky Belindy Roseovej. Josie však už nemôže svoje spomienky ďalej potláčať. Policajná analýza dokáže, že nájdené telo patrilo mladej žene zavraždenej pred tridsiatimi rokmi. Žene menom Belinda Roseová... Josie svoju matku roky nevidela a nechce na tom nič meniť. Spojenie medzi ňou a prípadom ju však donúti oživovať veci, ku ktorým sa už nikdy nechcela vracať. Blíži sa odhalenie tajomstva. Keď sa nájde ďalšie telo, navždy jej to zmení život. Je jasné, že niekto z Josinho okolia sa nezastaví pred ničím, len aby udržal pravdu navždy hlboko pochovanú. Dokáže Josie vybojovať bitku s démonmi zo svojej minulosti, aby dokázala ochrániť ďalšie nevinné životy?

Detektívka Josie Quinnová o svojej sestre nepočula od chvíle, keď Trinity pred tromi týždňami po hádke utiekla z jej domu.

Pátranie otvorí sestrinu minulosť a pomôže jej pochopiť sestrine obavy, sny a aj to, ako sa Trinity dostala do nebezpečenstva. Po profesionálnom prešľape potrebuje Trinity nájsť veľký príbeh, ktorý by zachránil jej no - vinársku kariéru, a zdá sa, že sa pokúsila nadviazať kontakt s nebezpečným sériovým vrahom.

Keď je sedemročná Lucy Rossová unesená z kolotoča v dentonskom mestskom parku, detektívka Josie Quinnová sa aj so svojim tímom zapojí do usilovného pátrania. Je to práve ona, kto nájde Lucin trblietavý motýlí batôžtek, vo vnútri ktorého je napchatý odkaz s ničivým posolstvom: Zdvihni telefón, alebo tvoje dievčatko zomrie... Druhý deň získajú Lucini rodičia aj policajný tím a FBI na chvíľku nádej, keď zdvihnú hovor a myslia si, že volá opatrovateľka - namiesto toho sa však na linke ozve mrazivý mužský hlas. Polícia sa ponáhľa do bytu pestúnky, len aby našla jej bezvládne telo v spleti prestieradiel na posteli. Každý nový telefonát od niekoho prepojeného s rodinou končí šokujúcim nálezom ďalšieho tela. Zvrátený vrah sa chce evidentne pomstiť a nezastaví sa, kým rodina Rossových nebude na kolenách...Intuícia Josii napovedá, že Lucini rodičia jej nehovoria celú pravdu, ale niečo jej stále bráni v tom, aby prenikla do prípadu hlbšie. Možno je to jej vlastné tajomstvo? Má Josie dosť síl na to, aby tento prípad vyriešila? Pokiaľ chce Lucy priviesť domov živú, nemá na výber...

Keď sa na príjazdovej ceste do domu v Dentone nájde telo mladého študenta s fotografiou pripnutou na golieri, prvá na mieste činu je detektívka Josie Quinnová. Dom patrí Gretchen Palmerovej, oddanej členke Josiinho tímu, ktorá je posledných dvadsaťštyri hodín nezvestná. Hoci sa Gretchen prizná k činu, Josie vie, že nemôže byť vrahyňou. Tak prečo sa priznáva k vražde, ktorú nespáchala? Josie sa ponorí hlboko do Gretcheninho tajného života a odhalí spojenie medzi chlapcom, fotografiou a zničujúcim prípadom z jej minulosti. Lenže práve vo chvíli, keď si Josie myslí, že už všetko pochopila, na druhej strane mesta sa objavia telá mladého páru. Dokáže Josie odhaliť pravdu včas, aby zachránila svoju priateľku pred životom vo väzení alebo istou smrťou?

Keď strážca parku nájde v lese telá Valerie a Tylera Yatesovcov, detektívka Josie Quinnová tuší, že ide o čosi viac ako len náhodnú otravu. Pitva jej dá za pravdu – Valerie niekto po smrti zastrčil do hrdla prívesok. Pri prehľadávaní okolia objaví Josiin tím tretí spacák, čo naznačuje, že v tú noc mohol byť pri ohni ešte niekto. Bola to tretia obeť alebo podozrivý? Mohla to byť žena, ktorá krátko nato vybehla z lesa priamo pod kolesá Josiinho auta? Indície vedú Josie na miesta skryté hlboko v lese – do prepletených jaskýň a na statok mimo civilizácie, kde sa ľudia chodia skrývať a kde nájdu mladé dievča s vydesenými očami a obviazanými zápästiami, ktoré vie viac, ako hovorí. Na druhý deň ho však nájdu mŕtve a s rovnakým príveskom... Josie musí zistiť význam smrteľnej ozdoby a chytiť zvráteného vraha skôr, ako príde o život ďalší nevinný človek. Alebo je už príliš neskoro a všetko pohltí temnota?

Detektívka Josie Quinnová sa teší na pokojnú večeru so svojím priateľom Noahom u jeho matky. Keď však prídu k nej, nájdu ju za domom v záhrade. Bez známok života a s ústami plnými hliny. Počas vyšetrovania sa objavuje množstvo záhadných fragmentov a stôp. Ide o ruženec zahrabaný v hline blízko tela Colette Fraleyovej alebo o flash disk s menom Drew Pratt, najslávnejšej nezvestnej osoby v Dentone. Josie zistí, že Pratt mal brata. Aj ten bol nezvestný dovtedy, kým jeho telo nevyplavila rieka. Postupne sa vynára viac súvislostí a Josie začína váhať. Je možné, že by sa Noahova matka, láskavá a usporiadaná Colette, zaplietla do zločinu? Prežije jej krehký vzťah s Noahom takéto obvinenie? Josie a jej tím postupuje v pátraní, ale vrah je tentoraz o krok pred nimi a obetí stále pribúda.

Zvrátený vrah je odhodlaný nezastaviť sa pred ničím. Jediná, kto ho môže zastaviť, je Josie Quinnová. Keď je na schodoch kostola v luxusnom svadobnom rezorte nájdené telo dvanásťročnej Holly Mitchellovej s bábikou z borovicových šišiek pevne pritisnutou k hrudi, Josie zostáva v šoku. To dievčatko pozná, jeho matka kedysi ponúkla Josie pomoc. Pri prehliadke domu dievčaťa však s hrôzou zistí, že aj jeho matka je mŕtva a jej druhá dcéra, sestra malej Holly, bez stopy zmizla. Prečo však v dome nie sú žiadne ostré predmety? Aké nebezpečné tajomstvo skrýva tento odľahlý rodinný dom? Josie síce nájde druhé dievčatko živé a zdravé, no ďalšia bábika z borovicových šišiek ju upevní v presvedčení, že vrah je niekde nablízku. Jej jedinou stopou sú spálené fotografie a listy a Josie sa musí pustiť do vyšetrovania, skôr ako stihne vrah znova udrieť.

Keď detektívka Josie Quinnová dorazí na miesto činu na okraji Dentonu, je zdesená brutalitou útoku. Obeť bojuje o život a novorodené dieťa zmizlo. Na inom mieste sa snaží ukryť krásna mladá žena. Zdá sa, že by mohla byť Josiiným vodítkom k prípadu uneseného dieťaťa, ale záhadná žena nevie, kto je, kde sa vzala ani čoho sa tak bojí. Isté je, že je na smrť vydesená... Alebo svoju amnéziu len predstiera? Je dievča bez mena svedkyňa, podozrivá alebo možno budúca obeť? Neskôr Josie nachádza indície, ktoré ju utvrdzujú v presvedčení, že nezvestné novorodeniatko a neznáma žena majú čosi spoločné, že ten, kto ich spája, je veľmi nebezpečný a že sa jej prípad začína veľmi osobne dotýkať. Má Josie riskovať život dieťaťa, aby zachránila mnoho ďalších? Alebo dokáže nájsť iný spôsob, ako zastaviť neľútostného vraha?

Jedného dňa zmizne v ospalom americkom mestečku Denton krásna sedemnásťročná Isabelle Colemanová. Všetci obyvatelia sa pustia do hľadania, no jediné, čo sa im podarí objaviť, je jej mobilný telefón. Nečakane sa však v meste zjaví iné unesené dievča - otrasené a traumatizované po roku väznenia -, ktoré vôbec nereaguje na svet okolo seba. Detektívka Josie Quinnová, ktorú práve suspendovali, sa rozhodne po zmiznutej Isabelle pátrať na vlastnú päsť. Má však len jedinú stopu, po ktorej sa môže vydať. A tou je záhadné meno Ramona. Tuší, že obe zmiznuté dievčatá majú niečo spoločné a Ramona je tajuplným kľúčom k tejto záhade. Josie Quinnová sa púšťa do zúfalých pretekov s časom. Za každú cenu musí nájsť Isabelle živú. Postupne zisťuje, že zmiznutých dievčat je viac, lenže nikto jej neverí. Podarí sa jej napriek tomu chytiť šialenca, ktorý ich unáša? A na aké temné miesta sa bude musieť vydať, aby odhalila pravdu, ktorú nikto nechce vidieť?

Josie flinches at the sight of the faded blue sports jacket wrapped around the girl pulled from the water. It belonged to someone she lost five years ago. Heavy rain floods the small town of Denton, leading to a tragic discovery: the body of a young girl floats to the surface. With no crime scene to analyze, Detective Josie Quinn and her team face daunting odds. Fortunately, the victim’s body is well-preserved, complete with a baseball patch on the jacket. Josie is devastated; her deceased ex-husband, Ray, had a similar jacket. Tracing the girl’s background, Josie identifies her as Beverly Urban, a troubled student rumored to have dated Ray before leaving town. Initially appearing as a tragic accident, the autopsy reveals a bullet in Beverly's head and a heartbreaking secret.

The tight-lipped Denton wives offer little help, but a secret meeting with a frightened woman could provide answers. Tragically, the woman is murdered before sharing vital information. It becomes evident that someone will go to extreme lengths to conceal the truth. As Josie delves into her past with Ray, she realizes that confronting this twisted killer could come at a steep price.
