Bortført

Et smadret vindue. Et blodigt fodspor. Det er kun begyndelsen.

I et mondænt kvarter i Atlanta er en teenagepige blevet brutalt myrdet på sit værelse. I entreen står hendes mor bag knust glas, mens det langsomt går op for hende, at hun netop har dræbt sin datters morder med de bare næver. Eller det tror hun i hvert fald.

Specialagent Will Trent dukker op, og inden længe indser han, at der er noget, som ikke stemmer – der er noget i blodsporene og det øvrige bevismateriale såvel som i den chokerede mors blik, der ikke passer sammen. Det går op for Trent, at flere personer er involveret, og han er overbevist om, at en morder stadig er på fri fod – med et gidsel.

Slaughter formår på fremragende vis at lade det mesterlige plot udspille sig, så spændingen holder til sidste side. Det er en page-turner-thriller, når den er bedst, af en af USA’s helt hotte navne.
