av William Diehl
'Syndafall' (Primal Fear,1993) är den första boken av tre som handlar om advokaten Martin Vail. Sedan kom 'Spår av ondska' (Show of evil,1995) och 'Fräls oss ifrån ondo' (Reign in hell,1997). Syndafall har filmatiserats och huvudrollen spelas av snyggingen Richard Gere.
William Diehl skriver väldigt spännande böcker, nästan på gränsen till utstuderat äckliga. Det som är bra med den här boken är karaktärsbeskrivningarna plus att det är en spännande och oförutsägbar handling.
Recensioner
"Spine-tingling...Mr. Diehl can sustain suspense." (The New York Times)
Baksidestext
With a legal battle worthy of Presumed Innocent, and a nightmare of terror and psychopathology equal to The Silence of the Lambs, William Diehl's brilliant new bestseller is his most bompelling novel to date.
A sainted bishop is murdered - and not just nurdered, but mutilated and dismembered. An angelic young man, Aaron Stampler, is found moments later hiding in the bishop's confessional, covered in blood and clutching the murder weapon, a butcher's knife. His only words are that he's innocent.
Martin Vail is the most brilliant lawyer in Chicago. He's so good he's managed to infuriate every junge, prosecutor and politician in the state. Now they have the opportunity to exact their revenge - they force him to defend the accused murderer. Bur Aaron's innocence looks increasingly plausible to Vail; and what he aventuelly unleashes in the cause of justice has consequences that reach shockingly beyond the limits of a single crime.
In the team Martin Vail uses to help him prepare the defence, Diehl has created the most memorable characters since his international bestseller Sharky's Machine. With its brilliant suspense, superb plotting and astonishing twists, Primal Fear is a novel that truly terrifies the reader.
