“In Shadow Man, Cody McFadyen took the suspense thriller where other writers have feared to tread. He introduced readers to a heroine every bit as dark and edgy as the serial killers she hunts: Special Agent Smoky Barrett. Now, in his latest novel, McFadyen brings Agent Barrett back to track down a killer who breaks all the rules.”
Special Agent Smoky Barrett hunted serial killers for the FBI. She was one of the best—until a madman terrorized her family, killed her husband and daughter, and left her face scarred and her soul brutalized. Smoky was able to shoot him dead—but her life was shattered forever. Now she dreams about picking up her weapon again and killing herself. Because for a woman who‘s lost everything, what is there left to lose? She‘s about to find out.
“The simple fact is that evil preys on good, and today, good had a bad day. Which brings with it an acceptance of the other side of that argument, that tomorrow might be evil's turn for some rain. And that's called hope.”
"This is the thing, I think often, that never occurs to you when you consider what it would be like to lose someone you love. That you would miss not just the flowers and kisses, but the totality of the experience. You miss the failures and little evils with as much desperation as you miss being held in the middle of the night."
How come there are no posts about this? Guuuys, this is a great series and an awesome book! Seriously. I've read it years ago already and am now doing a reread. It's hella cool and fast paced.
Ok, prepare for me fangirling over this for a while :)
pickSomehow I ended up with several books on my shelves that are part of a series I've never read before. I think this is the second in the Smoky Barrett series. It refers heavily to earlier events so you aren't lost. It was a fast paced thriller, but I wouldn't call it a mystery, there are no breadcrumbs to be followed really. All the same it was dark, and engaging, trigger warnings for child abuse
pickCody McFadyen schreibt für mich mit Abstand die grandiosesten Bücher ich hab noch nie erlebt das mich ein thriller Autor so gepackt hat wie dieser Mann

Mein aktueller Lesestoff:
Der dritte Band der Rizzoli & Isles - Reihe "Todsünde" und der von mir sehr ersehnte fünfte Smoky Barrett - Band "Die Stille vor den Tod" - bei dem es gerade übrigens richtig zur Sache geht. ?
