Verše pro mrtvé – Preston Douglas (2019)

Special Agent FBI Aloysius Pendergast is going through tough times. The new leadership of the New York field office is not at all inclined towards his eccentric methods of investigation. Although Pendergast achieves remarkable success in his cases, he also has a high mortality rate among suspects. And that does not sit well with his superiors. If Pendergast wants to continue his work, he must come to terms with the fact that from now on he will be working with a partner. And Pendergast definitely wants to continue his career, especially since the new case is bizarre in every way. With young agent Coldmoon, he is tasked with investigating a series of murders in Miami Beach. The perpetrator carves out the hearts of his victims and leaves them with handwritten notes on local gravestones. The individual graves seemingly have nothing in common—except that all of them rest women who committed suicide years ago. Do the old and new cases have anything in common? And how do they relate to the literary letters from the killer, who signs himself Mr. Heartstealer? In a grand finale, both agents fight side by side for their lives—they uncover a secret that must remain forever buried in the Florida swamps.
