David Ambrose Libros

Todo empezó con un encuentro casual - o no tan casual - en un programa de televisión. En él se pusieron en contacto Joanna Cross, periodista que acababa de desvelar un fraude en actividades espiritistas, y Sam Towne, científico universitario que dirigía un equipo de investigación de fenómenos paranormales. O quizá todo empezó cuando a Sam Towne se le ocurrió un experimento: crear un personaje - él y su equipo eligieron un aventurero de la época de la guerra de la independencia estadounidense -, darle un nombre y una historia personal y, posteriormente, convocarle a la existencia. Desventuradamente, el experimento fue un éxito. Porque la criatura, para existir en la historia, tenía que negar la existencia de sus creadores, únicos que sabían que era una ficción; éstos, a su vez, eran cada vez más impotentes ante el monstruo que habían creado. Y a través de las brumas de la sinrazón comenzó a abrirse paso el miedo…

A wrong number here, a case of mistaken identity there, a chance meeting with a stranger who knows your best friend. Most people dismiss such things as trivial, unimportant. Mere coincidence. Or could there be a hidden pattern in these seemingly random events? George Daly's life has been as unremarkable as most people's, until the day he finds himself going through his dead father's possessions. He discovers a photograph of himself as a boy, but he has no memory of where it was taken, nor does he recognize the people with him. As he investigates further, he experiences an increasingly bizarre chain of coincidences that soon threaten to unravel his whole world. Before long he finds himself fighting for his sanity and even his survival.

Tom Freeman glaubt, die Schatten seiner von Drogen- und Alkoholmissbrauch gekennzeichneten Vergangenheit hinter sich gelassen zu haben. Die Arbeit, seine Frau Clare und vor allem seine kleine Tochter Julia geben ihm Halt. Doch warum behauptet Julia eines Tages, ihr wirklicher Name sei Melanie und Tom und Clare seien nicht ihre wahren Eltern? Zugleich wird Tom von einem Albtraum geplagt, in dem er ein junges Mädchen tötet - eine Tat, die er nach eigenem Verständnis nie begehen könnte. Toms Nachforschungen ergeben, dass vor zehn Jahren ein Mädchen spurlos verschwand - an exakt dem Ort, wo Tom seinen finalen Drogenexzess erlebt hat. „Atemberaubend und verstörend. David Ambrose lehrt uns erneut das Fürchten.“ The Guardian
