Ted Dekker

    24 ottobre 1962

    Ted Dekker è noto per romanzi che fondono narrazioni adrenaliniche con colpi di scena inaspettati, personaggi memorabili e scontri epici tra bene e male. Le sue opere sono spesso profondamente filosofiche ed esplorano la natura umana di fronte a circostanze estreme. Dekker intreccia magistralmente trame avvincenti con dilemmi morali che risuonano a lungo dopo l'ultima pagina.

    • A quindici anni sua madre e le sue sorelle sono state trucidate sotto i suoi occhi. La guerra tra serbi e bosniaci non conosceva pietà e non risparmiava nessuno: anche lui è stato costretto a uccidere chi ha annientato la sua famiglia. Poi si è trasferito in America, è diventato sacerdote e ha cercato di ricominciare. Ma per Danny Hansen il passato è troppo carico di odio per poter essere dimenticato. E ci sono peccati che neppure un uomo di Dio può perdonare. Danny segue gli stupratori, i pedofili, gli assassini. Li rapisce e li tortura ma lascia loro una possibilità di redenzione. Se rifiutano, Danny è pronto a ucciderli per fare giustizia. Anche Renee Gilmore è una vittima. La droga ha distrutto la sua vita, pericolosi criminali le danno la caccia. Un giorno sulla sua strada appare Limoni, un uomo potente e protettivo, che la salva da chi vuole ucciderla e sembra offrirle finalmente tranquillità e amore. Per la prima volta Renee si sente al sicuro. Ma la pace che ha conquistato è forse l'inizio di un nuovo inferno? Renee e Danny sono destinati a incontrarsi spinti dalla stessa pulsione: il desiderio di giustizia e di vendetta. Un istinto che può trasformare una vittima in un carnefice. Ma fino a dove può spingersi l'uomo per difendere il bene? E se fosse il male l'unica arma per porre rimedio al male?

Their journey will be fraught with terrible danger. If they can survive the vast forbidding sands of a desert that is deadly to most, they will reach a brutal world subjugated by kings and emperors. There Maviah must secure an unlikely alliance with King Herod of the Jews. But Maviah's path leads her unexpectedly to another man. An enigmatic teacher who speaks of a way in this life which offers greater power than any kingdom. His name is Yeshua, and his words turn everything known on its head.

      FBI behavioral psychologist Daniel Clark is a man on a mission. After over a year of tracking a mysterious serial killer known as Eve, he feels closer than ever to discovering the murderer's true identity when he finds Eve's latest victim still alive. In an effort to save the girl, Daniel narrowly escapes becoming another casualty on Eve's list. Despite seeing the killer with his own eyes, a gunshot wound to the head leaves him with amnesia, unable to remember any details from the incident. His drive to find the killer takes on a whole new meaning when Eve takes yet another victim, one Daniel knows all too well-his estranged wife Heather. Determined to bring her back alive, Daniel takes his obsession to a dangerous new level, even recreating his own near-death experience in attempt to recall anything from his encounter with Eve. Soon enough he finds himself fighting for Heather's life, and, in the end, his own.
