    En uskyldig mor bliver et ufrivilligt led i en kynisk kæde af forbrydelser. Nu må hun selv begå en grusom forbrydelse for at redde sin kidnappede datter – eller risikere at miste hende for altid.Rachel Klein sætter sin datter, Kylie, af ved busstoppestedet og begynder sin dag. Men et opkald fra et ukendt nummer ændrer alting: En kvinde i røret fortæller Rachel, at Kylie nu sidder bundet og kneblet på hendes bagsæde. Hvis Rachel skal gøre sig forhåbning om at se hende igen, skal hun gøre følgende: 1) Betal en løsesum 2) find et andet barn at bortføre.Dette er ingen almindelig kidnapning , for den, der ringer, er selv en mor, hvis søn er blevet bortført, og hvis Rachel ikke gør som hun får besked på, vil drengen dø. ”Du er ikke den første. Og du vil bestemt ikke være den sidste.” Rachel er nu blevet en del af Kæden, en uendelig og modbydeligt indrettet ordning, som gør ofre til kriminelle – og sørger for, at en mystisk bagmand tjener styrtende på ugerningerne. Reglerne er simple, men de moralske dilemmaer er grusomme: Skaf pengene hurtigt, find dit offer og udfør derefter bortførelsen. Og det viser sig, at kidnapningerne kun er begyndelsen.Kæden har allerede gået sin sejrsgang i USA, hvor romanen straks blev en New York Times bestseller, modtog flere priser og blev kåret til årets spændingsbog af flere aviser. McKinty har skrevet en hæsblæsende thriller, som ikke stopper, før Kæden bliver brudt.

    "After moving from a small country town to Seattle, Heather Baxter marries Tom, a widowed doctor with a young son and teenage daughter. A working vacation overseas seems like the perfect way to bring the new family together, but once they're deep in the Australian outback, the jet-lagged and exhausted kids are so over their new mom. When they discover remote Dutch Island, off-limits to outside visitors, the family talks their way onto the ferry, taking a chance on an adventure far from the reach of iPhones and Instagram. But as soon as they set foot on the island, which is run by a tightly knit clan of locals, everything feels wrong. Then a shocking accident propels the Baxters from an unsettling situation into an absolute nightmare"--

    When a mother is targeted by a dangerous group of masterminds, she must commit a crime to save her kidnapped daughter—or risk losing her forever—in this "propulsive and original" award-winning thriller (Stephen King).It's something parents do every morning: Rachel Klein drops her daughter at the bus stop and heads into her day. But a cell phone call from an unknown number changes everything: it's a woman on the line, informing her that she has Kylie bound and gagged in her back seat, and the only way Rachel will see her again is to follow her instructions exactly: pay a ransom, and find another child to abduct. This is no ordinary kidnapping: the caller is a mother herself, whose son has been taken, and if Rachel doesn't do as she's told, the boy will die."You are not the first. And you will certainly not be the last."Rachel is now part of The Chain, an unending and ingenious scheme that turns victims into criminals—and is making someone else very rich in the process. The rules are simple, the moral challenges impossible; find the money fast, find your victim, and then commit a horrible act you'd have thought yourself incapable of just twenty-four hours ago.But what the masterminds behind The Chain know is that parents will do anything for their children. It turns out that kidnapping is only the beginning."McKinty is one of the most striking and most memorable crime voices to emerge on the scene in years. His plots tempt you to read at top speed, but don't give in: this writing—sharply observant, intelligent and shot through with black humor—should be savored."—Tana French"A masterpiece. You have never read anything quite like The Chain and you will never be able to forget it." —Don Winslow"Diabolical, unnerving, and gives a whole new meaning to the word "relentless". Adrian McKinty just leapt to the top of my list of must-read suspense novelists. He's the real deal."—Dennis Lehane"Pairing an irresistible concept with a winner protagonist, The Chain promises to be your new addiction once you succumb to the first enticing page."—Alafair Burke"A grade-A-first-rate-edge-of-your-seat thriller. I can't believe what went through my mind while reading it." —Attica Locke

    An electrifying noir thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Chain, in which a young Irish ex-cop travels half a world away to investigate the murder of a beautiful girl he once loved, and whose peculiar sexual banter he will later have urgent reason to recall—if he is to survive.Hard on the heels of Dead I Well May Be—which Booklist named "one of the top ten crime fiction debuts of the year," and which established Adrian McKinty as the perfect new find for fans of Dennis Lehane and Michael Connelly—McKinty's tightly paced Hidden River displays his unerring gift for crafting powerhouse literary thrillers. Alexander Lawson is a former detective for Northern Ireland's police force and a rising star at cracking difficult cases. After he is assigned to the force's dangerous, corruption-ridden drug squad, he becomes addicted to heroin—under unusual circumstances. Forced to resign in disgrace, Alex is twenty-four and still entrapped by the needle when he learns that his high school love, beautiful Victoria Patawasti, has been murdered in drought-scorched Denver, Colorado. Victoria's family begs Alex to investigate the case, and he seizes the opportunity to fly to America for a chance at redemption. Soon the bodies begin to pile up, and Alex is forced to go on the run after the only credible lead to Victoria's murderer is accidentally killed. Wanted by both the Colorado cops and the British police, who believe he has information about a corruption scandal, and with the murderer closing in all the time, Alex will have to fight just to stay alive, never mind solving the terrifying case. Critics have called Adrian McKinty's work "explosive," "violent yet virtuous," and "always enthralling." Hidden River is a riveting novel of characters, including a sadistic English cop who puts out cigarettes on other people's eyebrows, a billionaire's son with political aspirations, and a sexy Ethiopian girl living illegally in a squat. All manner of sinners converge on Denver's notoriously seedy Colfax Avenue against the breathtaking backdrop of the Rocky Mountains. Gritty, with spot-on dialogue and black humor, Hidden River is a dynamic thriller from a storyteller who writes "in prose that is a kind of poetry" (The Washington Post), and confirms his reputation as a dazzling literary voice in crime fiction.
