James Wilson Hall Libri

For twenty years, bestselling author James W. Hall has been one of the most highly respected thriller writers around. With last year's Body Language, Hall garnered acclaim from authors like James Patterson and Michael Connelly, and from reviewers in publications like People and The New York Times. Now, Hall serves up Rough Draft, which is at once both his most personal and his most gripping book to date. A few years ago, while browsing in a used bookstore, Hall found a copy of one of his early novels full of strange marginal notes and underlined passages and other cryptic messages. Fascinated by these weird hieroglyphics and unable to get them out of his mind, he used this as the basis for Rough Draft, a novel about a woman crime novelist who stumbles across a similar book and finds in those marginal notes what seems to be a direct message from the killer of her parents. Hannah Keller's struggle to find her parents' killer, and at the same time protect her son, takes the reader on an extraordinary ride through James Hall's best thriller to date.

Diciotto anni fa, una ragazza uccise un violentatore mentre il tosaerba di suo padre borbottava nel cortile. In qualche modo, nel calore e nelle ombre di quel giorno, Alexandra Rafferty si assunse il peso del suo gesto, forgiando un legame di silenzio con suo padre poliziotto. Ma ora il marito di Alexandra l'ha lasciata, suo padre si aggrappa alla salute e un serial killer di Miami sta lasciando dietro di sé scene di morte che vanno oltre l'orribile. Per Alexandra, la sua vita e il suo lavoro stanno esplodendo, rivelando la verità sul killer che cerca, sull'amante che sta scegliendo e su un pomeriggio estivo che non è mai svanito...

A chance encounter with an old flame sets reluctant investigator Thorn on a collision course with some of Florida's most ruthless killers in a heart-stopping story of modern-day piracy from the acclaimed author of Blackwater Sound, hailed by Dennis Lehane as 'the king of Florida noir'.

De familie Braswell bezit nagenoeg alles: geld, status en macht. Hun oudste zoon, een genie, liet echter het leven bij een bizar ongeluk tijdens het vissen op marlijn. Hij nam een zeer verdorven geheim mee dat de gehele familie Braswell, en hun familiebedrijf MicroDyne, in één klap zou kunnen vernietigen. Als Thorn aan het vissen is vlak bij de Florida Keys stort er een vliegtuig neer. Hij biedt de helpende hand bij een reddingspoging van de overlevenden van de vliegtuigramp. Een mysterieus zeewaardig jacht ligt vlak in de nabijheid van het verongelukte vliegtuig maar geen van de opvarenden biedt enige hulp. Thorn vermoed al snel dat er mogelijk sprake is van een samenzwering. Iemand heeft een zeer krachtig, hightech wapen ontwikkeld dat alle elektrische systemen in één keer kan uitschakelen.
