First Lines Friday №119 | A Book Feature
First Lines Friday ist ein wöchentliches Feature für BuchliebhaberInnen, welches ursprünglich von Emma (Wandering Words) in der englischen Book Blogger Bubble veranstaltet wird. Nachdem ich bei Emma nachgefragt habe, darf ich dieses tolle Feature nun für den deutschsprachigen BuchbloggerInnen-Raum adaptieren und hosten. Ich freue mich. 😁
Ablauf:
- Wähle ein Buch aus deinem Regal (es könnte deine aktuelle Lektüre, ein Buch vom SuB oder ein bereits gelesenes sein) und öffnen die erste Seite
- Jetzt zitierst du die ersten paar Zeilen (5–10), aber gib noch nichts über dein Buch preis – die TeilnehmerInnen sollen erst einmal rätseln
- Endlich … das Buch enthüllen!
- Für Social-Media-Kanäle nutze bitte den Hashtag #FirstLinesFridayDE 😊

First Lines
David Swisher spun the track ball of his BlackBerry until he found the e-mail from the CFO of one of his clients. The guy wanted to find a time to come down from Hartford to talk about a debt financing. Routine stuff, the kind of business he saved for his ride home. He thumb-typed a reply while the Town Car jerked up Park Avenue in stop-and-go traffic.
A chime announced the arrival of a new e-mail. It was from his wife: I’ve got a surprise for you.
He texted back: Excellent! Can’t wait.

The most shocking secret in the history of mankind is about to be revealed...A murderer is on the loose on the streets of New York City: nicknamed the Doomsday Killer, he's claimed six victims in just two weeks, and the city is terrified. Even worse, the police are mystified: the victims have nothing in common, defying all profiling, and all that connects them is that each received a sick postcard in the mail before they died - a postcard that announced their date of death. In desperation, the FBI assigns the case to maverick agent Will Piper, once the most accomplished serial killing expert in the bureau's history, now on a dissolute spiral to retirement. Battling his own demons, Will is soon drawn back into a world he both loves and hates, determined to catch the killer whatever it takes. But his search takes him in a direction he could never have predicted, uncovering a shocking secret that has been closely guarded for centuries. A secret that once lay buried in an underground library beneath an 8th Century monastery, but which has now been unearthed - with deadly consequences. A select few defend the secret of the library with their lives - and as Will closes in on the truth, they are determined to stop him, at any cost...
Some crimes should never be solved; some secrets are best left buried.

Über das Buch bin ich bei Bookbot gestolpert. Auch wenn ich aktuell weniger Thriller etc. lese, ist mich hier das Wort Library im Titel fast wörtlich angesprungen. Der Klappentext hat mich dann auch noch überzeugt und nun möchte ich wissen, welches nun wohl das schockierende Geheimnis der Menschheit sein könnte. 😎
