Nemesis (Angela Crossley) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

The first in Vincent Cobb’s compellingly dark and deeply disturbing trilogy of Angela Crossley mysteries, Nemesis opens with our heroine as a raw police recruit, immediately plunged into the deep end with a bizarre case of child abduction, in which the only salient witness is an ostensibly psychic young girl… Following Connie’s crude map, Crossley and her team uncover a hellish and tragic scene: the putrefying bodies of no less than seven young children. The case and its aftermath is the beginning of Crossley’s CID; for the young psychic, it is the beginning of the end of anything resembling a normal adolescence. From now on, the guilt will loom over everything Angela Crossley does…But when, several years on, Connie’s visions reveal another newly missing child - this time she’s seen the face of the killer in her mind’s eye. Worse still, the terrified seventeen-year-old is convinced the murderer psychically knows that she’s seen him. And he’s coming to get her - physically. Not for the faint-hearted, Cobb’s soul-racking imagination weaves a truly terrifying web of psychiatric fact, psychic horror and psychological intrigue that explores some of the darkest reaches of the human psyche; of a paedophile psychopath’s bloodlust and of the consequences of childhood cruelty, the aftershock of which will haunt Angela Crossley for the rest of her career.
