Chase : Roman

EDITORIAL REVIEW: Ben Chase is a war hero with bitter memories. Vietnam left him with a hard drinking habit, a mental breakdown -- and massive guilt. So who will believe him when he swears a psychopath is out to get him? When society is sick, the mad are sane -- and persecution is a killer's game! A frightening novella from the #1 New York Times master of suspense Ben Chase is a war hero, but a reluctant one. He struggles with bitter memories and feels alienated from the culture to which he has returned. When he claims that a psychopath is stalking him, he has by then made such an outsider of himself that no one believes him. He must resurrect the repressed warrior within to save himself and a woman he comes to love. Heroes need monsters to slay, and they can always find them—within if not without.

Doch als Chase zufällig einen brutalen Mord beobachtet, wird sein Leben plötzlich zum Alptraum, weil die Berichte in der Presse dem Killer seinen Namen verraten. Eine gnadenlose Jagd beginnt
