CW: This book is not for anyone who has storm anxiety, PTSD (especially around natural disasters), issues surrounding childhood trauma, or someone with experience in and around Hurricane Katrina Warnings for on page mention of animal and human death. Is it literature? A fantastic journey? A hard-boiled police procedural? The story of childhood trauma? This is story, I'm afraid. of a book that tried to do too much, be too many things, and ultimately fell short. However, I do want to add that this book kept me up to read to the end because I wanted to find out what happened. Though I admit it also was out of morbid curiosity to see just everything was going to be resolved--or not--and what facts would be included--or not. My conclusion when I closed my Kindle cover? "Huh? That was....something." With three separate mysteries, and two of them not really being mysteries at all, since the characters and the reader knew who had committed the crime, it was more of a matter of reading to see how it all ended. With one mystery solved, but still open-ended, and the other solved in fantastical fashion, the book was left feeling very disjointed and rambling. And it's not the first in a series, which means there will be no closure here. I admit I rather don't care, either. Add in supernatural facts, plus the usual ingredients when one is in New Orleans and someone wants to impart the "flavor" and all the research they did, not to mention medical causes and issues from research better left on the editing table, and I can't really recommend this story. The book really felt like it was trying to do too much, be too many things, and some judicious editing may have been in order here. I liked and was invested in the lead character, but the rest felt like cardboard cut outs playing on too big of a stage. En agosto de 2005, mucho antes de los crímenes que conmocionaron el valle del Baztán, una joven Amaia Salazar de veinticinco años, subinspectora de la Policía Foral, participa en un curso de intercambio para policías de la Europol en la Academia del FBI en Estados Unidos que imparte Aloisius Dupree, el jefe de la unidad de investigación. Una de las pruebas consiste en estudiar un caso real de un asesino en serie a quien llaman "el compositor", que siempre actúa durante grandes desastres naturales atacando a familias enteras y siguiendo una puesta en escena casi litúrgica. Amaia se convertirá, inesperadamente, en parte del equipo de la investigación que les llevará a Nueva Orleans, en vísperas del peor huracán de su historia, para intentar adelantarse al asesino... ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

In a propulsive thriller by the #1 internationally bestselling author of The Baztán Trilogy, a female detective follows a psychopathic killer into the eye of a storm. Amaia Salazar, a young detective from the north of Spain, has joined a group of trainees at the FBI Academy in Virginia. Haunted by her past and having already tracked down a predator on her own, Amaia is no typical rookie. And this is no ordinary student lecture at Quantico. FBI agent Aloisius Dupree is already well acquainted with Amaia's skills, her intuition, and her ability to understand evil. He now needs her help in hunting an elusive serial killer dubbed "the Composer," and in solving another case that's been following him his whole life. From New Jersey to Oklahoma to Texas, the Composer's victims are entire families annihilated in the chaos of natural disasters, their bodies posed with chilling purpose amid the ruins. Dupree and Amaia follow his trail to New Orleans. The clock is ticking. It's the eve of the worst hurricane in the city's history. But a troubling call from Amaia's aunt back home awakens in Amaia the ghosts from her childhood and sends her down a path as dark as that of the coming storm. No library descriptions found. |

Un tuffo nel passato, agli inizi della carriera di Amaia, una storia che si intreccia con i ricordi di quanto le è accaduto e che ci fa conoscere, ancor più in dettaglio, le sue vicissitudini da bambina tra l’odio della madre e l’amore di un padre incapace di opporsi alla volontà della moglie.
Mandata a New Orleans per seguire un corso FBI, viene cooptata per indagare e scoprire un pericoloso serial killer.
La catastrofe dell’uragano Katrina del 2005 che distrusse la città complicherà notevolmente l'inchiesta portando anche a galla una storia passata che vede coinvolto direttamente Aloisius Dupree, il capitano della squadra FBI che l’ha voluta nell’indagine.
Una storia che, pur parlando di qualcosa successo precedentemente a quanto accade nei tre libri anteriori, deve essere letta solo dopo avere completato la trilogia perché svela qualcosa che, se letto prima, toglierebbe mordente alla lettura dei tre volumi antecedenti che, invece, in questo vedono sciolti definitivamente tutti gli eventuali dubbi che fossero rimasti su quanto già esposto.
Una vicenda che aggiunge valore a quanto già letto e che accresce ancora di più la speranza di leggere presto un altro libro che racconti e prosegua quanto ora chiaramente rimasto in sospeso. ( )
