Auf & Davon
by Madeleine Urban Abigail Roux Feliz FaberBuch 1 in der Serie - Ty & ZaneEine Serie von Morden in New York City setzt FBI und Polizei gleichermaßen unter Druck. Hinter allen Morden wird ein einzelner Täter vermutet, der eine kryptische Botschaft zu senden scheint. Doch durch die Ermordung der beiden FBI-Agenten, die mit den Ermittlungen befasst waren, wird der Fall für das FBI zur höchsten Priorität. Dass sein letzter Fall ein Fehlschlag wurde, lag nicht an Special Agent Ty Grady; er ist zwar großspurig und aggressiv, aber unbestreitbar der Beste in seinem Job. Dennoch wird er von der verdeckten Ermittlung abgezogen und stattdessen mit der Aufklärung der New Yorker Morde betraut. Zwischen ihm und seinem neuen Partner Special Agent Zane Garrett ist es Hass auf den ersten Blick. Garrett ist ein FBI-Agent wie aus dem Bilderbuch: ernst, nüchtern und konzentriert. Als Partner sind sie unvereinbare Gegensätze, sprichwörtlich der gute und der böse Bulle--das klassische ungleiche Paar. Beiden ist sofort klar, dass ihre Partnerschaft ein größeres Hindernis für den Erfolg ihrer Ermittlungen darstellen wird als die Tatsache, dass der Mörder so gut wie keine Spuren hinterlässt. Noch ehe ihr Spezialauftrag richtig begonnen hat, schlägt der Mörder erneut zu--aber diesmal greift er seine Verfolger direkt an, und plötzlich werden die Jäger selbst zu Gejagten. Grady und Garrett werden ihre Differenzen überwinden und zusammenarbeiten müssen, um nicht zu den nächsten Opfern des Mörders zu werden.

Pero cuando es emparejado con el agente especial Zane Garrett, es un caso de odio a primera vista. Garrett es la imagen perfecta de un agente: serio, sobrio, y centrado, lo que hace de su asociación un clásico cliché: polos opuestos, poli bueno-poli malo, una extraña pareja. Pero los dos saben inmediatamente que su asociación provocará más problemas que la falta de pruebas dejadas por el asesino. Prácticamente antes de que su encargo especial empiece, el asesino ataca de nuevo, esta vez a ellos. Huyendo, intentando rastrear a un hombre que se ha volcado en acabar con sus perseguidores, Grady y Garrett tendrán que averiguar cómo trabajar juntos antes de convertirse en dos muescas más en el cuchillo del asesino.
