John Farris Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

Sechs Jahre ist es her, seit Peter Mallory der Mafia in Florida den Rücken gekehrt hat. Jetzt ist er drauf und dran wieder einzusteigen: Sein alter Boss braucht ihn, denn ihm sitzt ein brutaler Killer im Nacken. Jetzt ist Hilfe gefragt, wie sie nur ein Mann wie Mallory bieten kann. Aber kaum befindet er sich wieder auf dem abgeriegelten Inselgrundstück, sieht er sich umringt von schönen Frauen und spürt überall tödliche Gefahr - ein falscher Schritt könnte ein Blutbad auslösen.

"Deviazioni" è il nome che Ed McBain ha deciso di dare a questa raccolta, dopo aver invitato dieci fra i più grandi nomi del suspense, del mystery e del thriller a misurarsi con una storia più lunga di un racconto e più breve di un romanzo. Ovvero con un romanzo breve, genere in auge nei mystery magazine degli anni '40-'60, ma oggi non più diffuso. I testi qui riuniti - mai pubblicati prima - sono quindi deviazioni dalle forme attualmente più comuni nel poliziesco e nel thriller. Questo volume raccoglie "Le voci delle cose" di Stephen King e "La donna del faro" di John Farris.

Gillian Bellaver is from one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in the world. Robin Sandza's father, Peter, is one of the United States government's deadliest assassins. Gillian and Robin are from two different worlds. Outside they have nothing in common. Yet they are spiritual twins, possessors of a horrifying psychic energy that threatens humanity. While dangerous and fanatical men vie for the secrets of their awesome power, Peter Sandza, using all the ruthless skills of his trade, makes a final desperate effort to save them. But Peter himself is possessed--by a fate as implacable and as deadly as the powers of the children he is committed to protect.
