Bücher von Dan Wells

Wells won instant acclaim for his three-novel debut about the adventures of John Wayne Cleaver, a heroic young man who is a potential serial killer. Now he returns with another innovative thriller told in a very different, equally unique voice that from the realm of madness.

Auf den Spuren eines Verräters in den Zeiten des Kalten Krieges. Oktober 1961: Als leitender Kryptograph einer Abhörstation der CIA in Berlin ist Wallace Reed dafür zuständig, die Nachrichten ihres wichtigsten Doppelagenten zu decodieren. Doch eines Tages schickt dieser eine Nachricht, die keinen Sinn ergibt - hat es die Stasi geschafft, einen eigenen Agenten innerhalb der CIA zu platzieren? Reed folgt der Spur nach Ostberlin - aber die größte Gefahr droht ihm von den Menschen, die ihm am nächsten stehen.  Ein atemberaubender Spionage-Roman in der spannungsgeladenen Zeit kurz nach dem Mauerbau.

John Wayne Cleaver is dangerous, and he knows it.He's spent his life doing his best not to live up to his potential.He's obsessed with serial killers, but really doesn't want to become one. So for his own sake, and the safety of those around him, he lives by rigid rules he's written for himself, practicing normal life as if it were a private religion that could save him from damnation.Dead bodies are normal to John. He likes them, actually. They don't demand or expect the empathy he's unable to offer. Perhaps that's what gives him the objectivity to recognize that there's something different about the body the police have just found behind the Wash-n-Dry Laundromat---and to appreciate what that difference means.Now, for the first time, John has to confront a danger outside himself, a threat he can't control, a menace to everything and everyone he would love, if only he could.Dan Wells's debut novel, I Am Not a Serial Killer, is the first volume of a trilogy that will keep you awake and then haunt your dreams.
