    Mallory's oracle

    3,9(6163)Évaluer

    When Kathleen Mallory was ten she was a street kid and a thief. Then a cop called Markowitz took her home to her wife to civalize her. . . . Now Mallory is in charge of a complex database and a police officer herself, and someone has just murdered the man she considers her father -the only man she has ever loved. More used to the company of computers than people, Mallory descends into the urban nightmare of New York, to hunt down a cold-blooded killer. MALLORY'S ORACLE is a dangerous chase through the city's underworld, down the fibre-optic cables of high-tech computer networks and behind the blinds of genteel Gramercy Park - and an investigation into the chilly heart of it's damaged and elusive heroine.

    Un artiste harmonieusement démembré et transformé en sculpture. Une jeune danseuse délicatement massacrée à coups de hache. Un critique d'art talentueusement achevé avec un pic à glace... A des années d'intervalle, les crimes se suivent et se ressemblent. Il est vrai que vouloir élever le meurtre au rang de chef-d'œuvre a de quoi émouvoir le milieu blasé de l'art new-yorkais. Mais il en faudrait plus pour impressionner Mallory, la jeune et belle inspectrice chargée de l'enquête. Aussi redoutable et cruelle que les tueurs qu'elle traque, Mallory ne lâche jamais sa proie avant de l'avoir prise au piège.

    After bringing in a unanimous and very dubious acquittal in a murder case, only three of the original jurors remain alive. And someone, known only as the 'Reaper' because of the signature of a bloody scythe left at the crime scenes, is clearly determined to make a clean sweep of the terrified survivors. Detective Sgt. Riker, although on paid sick leave after a teenage psychopath pumped four bullets into his chest, has a keen but unofficial interest in the case. And his NYPD Special Crimes partner, Kathy Mallory, orphan, sociopath and computer genius, is resolute that there will be no more personal defections in her life, and determined to discover the identity of the killer before he, or she makes a complete mockery of justice. Meanwhile, on his increasingly popular radio show, Ian Zachary, plays a sick and dangerous game - Hunt the Juror.

    In this riveting thriller from New York Times bestselling author Carol O'Connell, New York City officer Kathleen Mallory purges a woman of her mysterious past—and the flesh-and-blood ghosts of a violent family legacy. At first, NYPD detective Kathleen Mallory thinks the case is simple: a burglar caught in the act and stabbed with an ice pick by a vulnerable homeowner. Except that the dead man was not a burglar, but a hired killer. And the homeowner is the most famous missing child in NYPD history, believed kidnapped more than sixty years ago after the massacre of her entire family...by an ice pick. As Mallory investigates, an astonishing story emerges, one of murderous greed and family horror, abandonment and loss, revenge and twisted love—and a terrifying secret that has yet to claim its final victim.

    The reviews called it 'a play to die for' after the woman was found dead in the front row. It didn't seem so funny the next night, when another body was found - this time the playwright's, his throat slashed. Detective Kathy Mallory takes over, but no matter what she asks, no one seems to be giving her a straight answer. Every night, an unseen backstage hand chalks up line changes and messages on a blackboard. And the ghostwriter is now writing Mallory into the play itself, a play about a long-ago massacre that may not be at all fictional.
