Kdosi jde Huntress po krku a touha po pomstě ji dál žene k sebezničení. Co její posedlost pohání? Jak mohla z nevinné dívky Heleny Bertinelliové vyrůst Huntress?

SVĚT nyní nerozdělují politické ani zeměpisné hranice, nýbrž ty finanční. Bohatství znamená moc a touto mocí nyní disponuje pouze několik RODIN.

Bylo svoláno KONKLÁVE, kde se na jednom místě sejdou vůdci, jejich poradci a, co je nejnebezpečnější, jejich LAZAROVÉ – nadlidští bojovníci spjatí s rodinami, které je stvořily. Zatímco se odehrávají křehké společenské a politické tanečky, v sázce není nic menšího než ovládnutí světa. Vznikly dvě frakce: Ti, kdo následují Jakoba Hocka, a ti, kdo následují Malcolma Carlylea. FOREVER CARLYLEOVÁ je Lazarus své rodiny. Vychovali ji ve víře, že je Carlyleová. Vychovali ji ve víře, že rodina je nade vše. Vychovali ji k věrnosti. Vychovali ji k poslušnosti.

Dex Parios ist Chefin und einzige Angestellte des Detektivbüros »Stumptown Investigations« in einer der, sagen wir, wenig gentrifizierten Gegenden von Portland. Als Schnüfflerin ist Dex ein As, beim Würfeln eher nicht. Seit ihrem letzten Besuch am Spieltisch ist sie mehr als pleite – sie schuldet dem Casino schlappe 18 Mille. Glücksspielmatriarchin Sue-Lynne wäre aber bereit, auf das Geld zu verzichten, wenn Dex ihre Enkelin zurückbringt kann, die spurlos verschwunden ist. Bedeutet das, dass Dex‘ Blatt sich wendet, oder wurde ihr eine noch miesere Hand ausgeteilt? Magnum kann in Rente bleiben! Dex Parios steckt jeden sprücheklopfenden Privatdetektiv locker in die Tasche, und Bestseller-Autor Greg Rucka beweist einmal mehr, dass toughe Frauen in realistischen Szenarien genau sein Metier sind. Kein Wunder, dass »Stumptown« inzwischen auch als TV-Serie mit Cobie Smulders (»Avengers«) in der Hauptrolle verfilmt wurde.
