Blood Like Mine

Beschreibung

"On a snowy December night, single mother Rebecca Carter drives her van into a snowbank to avoid hitting an elk on a desolate Colorado mountain highway. She is at the end of her rope, out of money and food; her adolescent daughter, Moonflower, is on the run from a grisly secret, and the last thing they can afford is to be remembered by anyone they meet. As Rebecca tries to dig her van out of the snow, a man in a pickup truck stops and offers her a tow. Rebecca declines, but this chance encounter with a stranger will destroy the life she has fought so hard to hold together. Now her worst fears come to life as she is caught between a ravenous predator and a fate worse than death. Rebecca would die to protect her daughter, but dying wouldn't be enough to satisfy this monster . . . On the other side of the country, FBI agent Marc Donner has a break in a serial killer case he has been tracking for two years"--

Rezensionen

'Stuart Neville at his very, very best - this book grabs your heart and doesn't let go' Ruth Ware

'An action packed thriller, the mid-way twist in this book will leave you as breathless as several victims on the pages of this relentlessly-paced and unexpectedly moving story as the reader is propelled towards the truly shocking conclusion. Bravo Stuart Neville! Utterly brilliant' Liz Nugent

'Blood Like Mine is one of those books that once you read the first few pages, you simply cannot put it back down. This is a character-driven thriller that you will not be able to forget. Simply brilliant'

compelling. My heart was in my throat the whole time' Alex North

'What a book! Exciting, propulsive and vivid. A thriller with real bite' Mark Edwards

'Wow, just WOW. I've waited a long time for a crime novel to do something different, to keep me guessing, to blow me away - this is that book . . . I lived and breathed every second and flew through the pages - desperate to keep reading but not wanting it to end. Wholly originally and utterly compelling, this is an incredibly tense book that is also full of regret, guilt and love. Blood Like Mine will grip you from the first page and keep you prisoner until you turn the last page. I absolutely loved it' C. L. Taylor

'Beautiful and dark as all hell. Poignant. Nightmarish . . . Original, terrifying and horrifically tense. This book is your next obsession (and Neville might well be Stephen King's rightful heir)' Will Dean

'At its core, Blood Like Mine is the story of a mother's unconditional love for her daughter, and that gives everything that happens - the growing horror, the murders, the frantic desperation - an almost unbearable emotional punch. I've not read anything quite like this before, and once it sank its teeth in, I was utterly gripped . . . and I'm eager for more' Tim Lebbon

'A masterclass in storytelling, Blood Like Mine is a dark, chilling tale that will grip you from the very first page. Steeped in the emotion of love and loss, Neville's characters are captivating and leap off the page to grab you by the throat - this is a story that you won't forget'
