Leíble pero tampoco impresiona mucho ( ) Un hombre, una mujer, un coche, una cámara... No es un viaje normal, pues él se dedica a secuestrar, matar y, después fotografias a sus víctimas, ella, a escribir sobre lo ocurrido con veracidad, pues sabe que luego su captor lo revisará todo... Tanto la detective Mercedes Barren como el psquiatra Martín Jeffers, especialista en delitos sexuales, tienen motivos de sobra para perseguir al peligroso psicópata. My friend, Jeanie, was appalled to learn I'd never read anything by John Katzenbach so I did. The Traveler is a really interesting book. It is quite gruesome and grizzly and scary. (It's the first time a book has ever given me nightmares and I've read some hard stuff.) The plot is compelling. The story is really two run in parallel - the protagonist's journey as well as the villan's. A really interesting read. Taut, well-written serial-killer novel with an effective and sympathetic lead detective and a truly evil bad guy. This is a relatively old book that I just got around to reading and it's interesting to note the differences between procedures back then and in the current DNA/CSI era. I only had 2 problems with the book: the timing involved in bringing the story to its conclusion, and the incredible nature of the conclusion itself. I really liked this book and plan to seek out others by this author. ¿No era un viaje normal por carretera? Miami, Nueva Orleans, Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago, Cleveland. Un hombre, una mujer, un coche y una cámara fotográfica. Él secuestra, mata y después fotografía a sus víctimas. Ella escribe sobre lo ocurrido y se asegura de que ha plasmado correctamente la historia, porque sabe que él lo revisa todo. La detective Mercedes Barren tiene motivos para perseguirlo: su sobrina fue una víctima. Y también el psiquiatra Martin Jeffers, especialista en delitos sexuales.Una odisea. Una expedición. Una pesadilla que se adentra en el día siguiente. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

This suspenseful classic from John Katzenbach, now back in print, reaffirmed his status as one of the best new thriller writers on the scene. Miami detective Mercedes Barren, recovering from a traumatic shooting, has transferred to the relative quiet of the forensics department to get her life back on track. Yet this peace is put on hold when she gets a wrenching phone call: her niece has been brutally murdered. Soon she uncovers the shocking truth: the killer, a professional photographer, is engaging in "copycat" murders across the country, while forcing a young student to document every horrific crime. The woman, he calls her "Boswell", is his stenographer of cruelty. And if she drops her pen, she'll end up being his next "subject." As her already fragile life begins to fall to pieces, Mercedes makes it her mission to track down this cold-blooded killer, even if it means enlisting the help of his brother, a psychiatrist specializing in sex offenders. But can they catch him before his camera flashes next and snuffs out another life? Unbearably suspenseful, with believable characters and dialogue second-to-none, The Traveler is pure John Katzenbach. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
