In the half-built skeleton of a monstrously vulgar mansion in one of L.A.’s toniestneighborhoods, a watchman stumbles on the bodies of a young couple–murdered in flagrante and left in a gruesome postmortem embrace. Though he’s cracked some of the city’s worst slayings, veteran homicide cop Milo Sturgis is still shocked at the grisly sight: a twisted crime that only Milo’s killer instincts–and psychologist Alex Delaware’s keen insights–can hope to solve.
While the female victim’s identity remains a question mark, her companion is ID’d as eco-friendly architect Desmond Backer, who disdains the sort of grandiose superstructure he’s found dead in. And the late Mr. Backer, it’s revealed was also notorious for his power to seduce women.
The rare exception is his ex-boss, Helga Gemein, who’s as indifferent to Desmond’s death as she apparently was to his advances. Though Milo and Alex place her on their short list of suspects, the deeper they dig for clues the longer the list grows. An elusive prince who appears to harbor decidedly American appetites, an eccentric blueblood with an ax to grind, one of Desmond’s restless ex-lovers and her cuckolded husband–all are in the homicidal mix spiced with eco-terrorism, arson, blackmail, conspiracy, and a vendetta that runs deep. But when the investigation veers suddenly in a startling direction, it’s the investigators who may wind up on the wrong end of a cornered predator’s final fury.©2009 Jonathan Kellerman; (P)2009 Random House

Der Krimi selbst ist ganz ok, aber immer wieder tauchen Klischees auf (wie das der kühlen, emotionslosen Deutschen, die hier der Form halber aus der Schweiz kommt..), die nicht sein müssten.
Und die Geschichte an sich ist auch nicht überall überzeugend.
Was das Hörbuch dennoch hörenswert macht, ist die Darstellung der Hauptakteure, die sympatisch und lebensecht erscheinen, wie sie so ihre Arbeit erledigen und untereinander agieren.
prima gelesen, Story ok
