The Bone Garden: A Novel

The Bone Garden: A Novel: Julia Hamill gräbt gerade den Garten ihres kürzlich erworbenen Hauses um, als sie einen grausigen Fund macht: den skelettierten Schädel eines Menschen. Mit den Mitteln der modernen Gerichtsmedizin kann Dr. Maura Isles die harten Fakten schnell bestimmen: Die Leiche ist knapp zweihundert Jahre alt eine Frau, die ganz offensichtlich einem Mord zum Opfer fiel. Doch wer ist die unbekannte Tote Und wer hat sie im Garten des alten Hauses verscharrt Diese Fragen lassen Julia Hamill keine Ruhe, und sie beginnt, auf eigene Faust zu ermitteln. Eine alte Kassette voller Dokumente führt sie dabei in die Vergangenheit Bostons zu den ersten Versuchen, mithilfe von Forensik, Pathologie und Autopsien einen Kriminalfall zu lösen. Und zu dem Medizinstudenten Norris Marshall, der hofft, einen gefährlichen Frauenmörder zu stellen und, vom Ehrgeiz verblendet, seine einzige Zeugin in höchste Gefahr bringt. Unknown bones, untold secrets, and unsolved crimes from the distant past cast ominous shadows on the present in the dazzling new thriller from New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen. Present day: Julia Hamill has made a horrifying discovery on the grounds of her new home in rural Massachusetts: a skull buried in the rocky soil-human, female, and, according to the trained eye of Boston medical examiner Maura Isles, scarred with the unmistakable marks of murder. But whoever this nameless woman was, and whatever befell her, is knowledge lost to another time.... Boston, : In order to pay for his education, Norris Marshall, a talented but penniless student at Boston Medical College, has joined the ranks of local 'resurrectionists'-those who plunder graveyards and harvest the dead for sale on the black market. Yet even this ghoulish commerce pales beside the shocking murder of a nurse found mutilated on the university hospital grounds. And when a distinguished doctor meets the same grisly fate, Norris finds that trafficking in the illicit cadaver trade has made him a prime suspect. To prove his innocence, Norris must track down the only witness to have glimpsed the killer: Rose Connolly, a beautiful seamstress from the Boston slums who fears she may be the next victim. Joined by a sardonic, keenly intelligent young man named Oliver Wendell Holmes, Norris and Rose comb the city-from its grim cemeteries and autopsy suites to its glittering mansions and centers of Brahmin power-on the trail of a maniacal fiend who lurks where least expected... and who waits for his next lethal opportunity. With unflagging suspense and pitch-perfect period detail, The Bone Garden deftly interweaves the thrilling narratives of its nineteenth- and twenty-first century protagonists, tracing the dark mystery at its heart across time and place to a finale as ingeniously conceived as it is shocking. Bold, bloody, and brilliant, this is Tess Gerritsen's finest achievement to date. From the Hardcover edition.

Dracula: The Graphic Novel

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Stoker, Bram / Cloonan, Becky / Reed, Gary, PUBLISHER: Puffin Books, Of the many admiring reviews Bram Stoker's "Dracula" received when it first appeared in , the most astute praise came from the author's mother, who wrote her son: 'It is splendid. No book since Mrs. Shelley's "Frankenstein" or indeed any other at all has come near yours in originality, or terror.'A popular bestseller in Victorian England, Stoker's hypnotic tale of the bloodthirsty Count Dracula, whose nocturnal atrocities are symbolic of an evil ages old yet forever new, endures as the quintessential story of suspense and horror. The unbridled lusts and desires, the diabolical cravings that Stoker dramatized with such mythical force, render Dracula resonant and unsettling a century later.
