Ergebnis für "Elliot" in Thriller

Mercy Kilpatrick, aufgewachsen in einer Prepper-Familie in Oregon, wurde seit ihrer frühen Kindheit auf jede Art von Katastrophe vorbereitet. Trotzdem zwang eine Familientragödie sie zur Flucht. 15 Jahre später wird die kampferprobte FBI-Agentin in ihre Heimatstadt zurückgeschickt, um bei der Aufklärung einer mysteriösen Mordserie zu helfen: Ein gnadenloser Killer hat es auf Überlebenskünstler abgesehen und stiehlt ihre Waffen. Das FBI befürchtet einen Terror-Anschlag. Mercy dagegen sieht erschreckende Parallelen zu ihrer Vergangenheit.

Mercy unterstützt Polizeichef Truman Daly bei der Suche nach dem Brandstifter, der zum Mörder geworden ist. Dabei stoßen sie auf eine regierungsfeindliche Miliz, die dem Verdächtigen möglicherweise Unterschlupf gewährt.

Zwischen Lacey und ihm knistert es gewaltig - aber der Skelettfund ist nur der Auftakt einer neue Mordwelle.

Für Mercy Kilpatrick bieten die Wälder Oregons die einzig wahre Sicherheit. Obwohl ihre Familie ihr nicht verziehen hat, dass sie den Prepper-Clan für das FBI verlassen hat, hält Mercy an ihren alten Überzeugungen fest. Es sind ihre Geheimnisse – so gut gehütet wie das kleine Schutzhaus, das sie in den Ausläufern des Gebirges heimlich gebaut hat. In einer Hütte in der Nähe ihres Verstecks trifft Mercy eines Tages auf ein junges Mädchen, dessen Großmutter mit einem Messer grausam ermordet wurde.

For Mercy Kilpatrick, returning to rural Oregon has meant coming to terms with her roots.

A rainstorm has uncovered the remains of five people - a reprise of the distinctive slaughter of two families twenty years ago. Except the convicted killer is in prison.

Now, along with Police Chief Truman Daly, Mercy is on the hunt for an arsonist turned killer.

Thirteen years ago, Assemblyman Derrick Bell was murdered in his home by an intruder. His wife, Noelle Marshall, was left for dead. The crime was unsolved, but it wasn’t forgotten. Today the FBI is tackling a fresh perspective on the case and looking to Noelle, now a detective for the Deschutes County sheriff’s office, for new clues. It is reopening everything Noelle thought was behind her. Memories of her escape from a traumatic childhood. A marriage that wasn’t the perfect love story she’d been promised. And a husband whose charm and privilege hid a dark side.

FBI special agent Mercy Kilpatrick has been waiting her whole life for disaster to strike. A prepper since childhood, Mercy grew up living off the land — and off the grid — in rural Eagle’s Nest, Oregon. Until a shocking tragedy tore her family apart and forced her to leave home. Now a predator known as the cave man is targeting the survivalists in her hometown, murdering them in their homes, stealing huge numbers of weapons, and creating federal suspicion of a possible domestic terrorism event.

Raised off the grid by survivalists, Mercy Kilpatrick believed in no greater safeguard than the backwoods of Oregon. Unforgiven by her father for abandoning the fold for the FBI, Mercy still holds to her past convictions. They’re in her blood.

In a cabin near her hideaway, Mercy encounters a young girl whose grandmother is dying from multiple knife wounds.

When an eleven-year-old is abducted on her way to school, the FBI doesn’t waste a moment, sending agents to scour the area and embedding Special Agent Ava McLane with the distraught family.

A man is savagely murdered outside Portland, and Detective Mason Callahan finds blood-spatter evidence that tells a troubling story. Files reveal the murder victim, Reuben Braswell, was a radical conspiracist.

Ever since, Emily and Madison have tried to forget what happened that night - until an eerily similar murder brings it all back.
