"Das Lied der Sirenen" von Bestseller-Autorin Val McDermid ist ein eiskalter Thriller, der tiefen Einblick in die seelischen Abgründe eines Serienkillers gewährt raffiniert geplottet, psychologisch ausgefeilt und gnadenlos gut. Der erste Teil der erfolgreichen Thriller-Serie um das Ermittlerduo Carol Jordan und Tony Hill beginnt mit dem Fund von vier männlichen Leichen in Yorkshire. Diese Entdeckung ist selbst für das hartgesottene Team der Mord-Kommission ein Schock: Offenbar wurden die Opfer vor ihrer Ermordung mit mittelalterlichen Folter-Instrumenten gequält und verstümmelt. Obwohl alles nach der Tat eines Serienkillers aussieht, besteht der Superintendent darauf, dass die Morde getrennt voneinander untersucht werden. Detective Chief Inspector Carol Jordan und der um Unterstützung gebetene Psychologe und Profiler Tony Hill arbeiten dennoch an einem Täterprofil des möglichen Serienkillers. Sie stellen fest, dass die Morde immer einem bestimmten Muster folgen. Und sie decken auf, dass die Opfer des Serienkillers gar nicht, wie vorerst angenommen, homosexuell waren. Die Zeit wird immer knapper, denn schon taucht eine weitere Leiche auf: Wieder verstümmelt und wieder gefoltert, doch dieses Mal ist es einer von ihnen, ein Polizist. Wird es Carol und Tony gelingen, den grausamen Serienkiller zu stoppen? Mit einer Sache haben beide nicht gerechnet: selbst das nächste Opfer zu werden. Das neue Ermittlerduo hebt sich erfrischend von den Standardtypen des überfütterten Thrillergenre ab. Lovelybooks. Ein herausragender Psychothriller. Cosmopolitan. - Val McDermid (* 4.
