Ergebnis für "Tess" in Weibliche Detektive

Der zweite Fall für Rizzoli & Isles. Wieder ein heißer Sommer in Boston - und erneut schlägt ein perverser Serienkiller zu. Am Tatort findet Detective Jane Rizzoli den Arzt Richard Yeager mit durchgeschnittener Kehle vor. Von seiner Frau Gail fehlt jede Spur. Einzig ihr penibel gefaltetes Nachthemd weist Blutspuren auf. Der Mord erinnert Jane an den »Chirurgen«, einen psychopathischen Serienkiller, den sie ein Jahr zuvor verhaftete – nachdem sie ihm beinahe selbst zum Opfer gefallen wäre.

Vor dem Haus von Maura Isles wird eine Frau erschossen. Detective Jane Rizzoli glaubt zunächst, ihre Kollegin selbst sei das Opfer, da kehrt Maura von einem Kongress zurück - erschöpft, aber lebendig. Schockiert erfährt Maura, die weder von einer Schwester noch von ihren leiblichen Eltern etwas weiß, dass es sich bei der Leiche um ihren Zwilling handelt.

La sconosciuta che giace sul tavolo settorio dell'anatomopatologa Maura Isles è molto giovane. E molto bella. I lunghi capelli castano ramato contrastano con la pelle chiara, tesa sugli zigomi alti. È stata ritrovata sul tetto di un edificio nella Chinatown di Boston, da un gruppo di turisti in cerca di brividi durante un Ghost Tour tra i misteri e le leggende dell'antico quartiere. Qualcuno le ha sparato un colpo di pistola, poi le ha mozzato una mano.

Der 6. teuflische Fall für Rizzoli und Dr. Isles: eine junge Frau wird grausam verstümmelt aufgefunden, ihre Leiche wurde mit satanischen Symbolen beschmiert. Ein Detail fällt Pathologin Maura Isles auf: Die abgetrennte Hand, die neben der Toten lag, stammt von einer anderen Frau. Kurze Zeit später taucht eine weitere Frauenleiche auf, auch sie völlig entstellt Satanszeichen geschändet.
