Showing results for "The King" in Animals

Content to be unmarried and plainspoken, Kathryn "Kappy" King is an odd woman out in the Amish community of Blue Sky, Pennsylvania. But she's skilled at making the special kapps local women need to cover their hair. And she might be the only one who can unearth the danger hiding in this peaceful valley.... 

When a young woman exhibiting signs of psychosis is killed, it seems like a drug-induced frenzy ... until Chief Deputy Mike Murphy looks into her background—she was a vegan, a Buddhist, a mid-level bank manager with a Bachelor's in Business Management, not a drug user. Then, another woman dies after falling into a seizure-induced coma and, hours later, a family of four is admitted to the hospital, all of them showing signs of poisoning, possibly due to contaminated food. And then toxicology reveals the hidden truth: there's a spree killer on the loose in Mogollon County.

Mike “Midnight” Murphy has two goals in life—find his wife’s killers and let his retired bomb dog live out his days in peace. Wounded in war, terminated from Austin P.D., Mike returns home to Mogollon County, Arizona, and lands himself a job…with the local sheriff’s office. He’s back on the inside. He’s back on the hunt.

Der junge Ornithologe Lino Troll findet bei einem Forschungsaufenthalt in Philadelphia durch Zufall zwei Kisten mit Tonbandaufnahmen im Keller der Academy of Natural Sciences.

Eines Tages wird er beauftragt, einen Ziegenmelker, Caprimulgus Europaeus, zu präparieren und sieht darin einen unheilvollen Zusammenhang mit Bonds Vermächtnis.
