About the book

Dunkle Herzen (Divine Evil) - Nora Roberts

Die erfolgreiche New Yorker Bildhauerin Clare Kimball wird immer wieder von einem Alptraum gequält: Auf einer einsamen Waldlichtung in der Nähe ihres Heimatortes Emmitsboro in Maryland zelebrieren maskierte Mnner orgiastisch eine schwarze Messe. Clare will endlich herausfinden, was es mit dem Traum auf sich hat. Sie kehrt zurück nach Emmitsboro, trotz der Warnungen guter Freunde. In Cameron Raffery, dem neuen Sheriff, findet Clare schnell einen Verbündeten. Aber auch er kann nicht ahnen, dass hinter der biederen Fassade der Kleinstadt Ungeheuerliches passiert - und dass Clare sich schon bald in ernster Gefahr befindet...

Ein atemberaubender Psychothriller um satanische Rituale in einer amerikanischen Kleinstadt.
