Wenn die Toten sprechen, ist sie zur Stelle: Cassie Raven rockt die Gerichtsmedizin!»Tote schweigen nie«, A. K. Turners Thriller-Sensation aus England, ist der Auftakt zu einer außergewöhnlichen Forensik-Thriller-Reihe. Als Assistentin der Rechtsmedizin ist die Londonerin Cassie Raven schräge Blicke gewöhnt. Möglicherweise ist auch ihr Gothic-Look mit zahlreichen Piercings und Tattoos nicht ganz unschuldig daran – ebenso wie ihre Überzeugung, dass die Toten mit uns sprechen, wenn wir nur ganz genau hinhören.Genauso überzeugt ist Cassie davon, dass sie ohne die Hilfe von Mrs Edwards als Junkie unter einer Brücke gelandet wäre statt als Assistentin in der Rechtsmedizin. Umso größer ist ihr Schock, als sie einen Leichensack öffnet und in das Gesicht ihrer geliebten Mentorin blickt.Cassie ist sicher, dass Mrs Edwards ermordet wurde. Nur beweisen kann sie es nicht, denn eine kostspielige forensische Obduktion wurde bereits abgelehnt. Das macht ausgerechnet die unterkühlte DS Phyllida Flyte, die Cassie wegen einer verschwundenen Leiche auf dem Kieker hat, zu ihrer einzigen Option …Der Start der Pathologie-Thriller-Reihe »Raven & Flyte ermitteln« überzeugt mit exakter Recherche und faszinierendem Insiderwissen – und begeistert mit außergewöhnlichen Protagonisten, zu denen neben der coolen Cassie Raven und der spröden DS Phyllida Flyte auch Cassies eigensinnige polnische Großmutter gehört. »A. K. Turner hat einen echten Thriller-Hit gelandet! Durchweg spannende Story, reichliche Details aus dem Metier der Rechtsmedizin, und eine Hauptfigur, die einem so schnell nicht wieder aus dem Kopf geht.« Denglers Buchkritik

Keine Lüge hat Bestand, wenn die Toten sprechen!Die toughe Expertin der Gerichtsmedizin, Cassie Raven, löst ihren 2. Fall: »Wer mit den Toten spricht« ist der 2. Teil der außergewöhnlichen Forensik-Thriller-Reihe »Raven & Flyte ermitteln« aus England.Cassie Raven, Assistentin der Rechtsmedizin mit einer Vorliebe für Gothic-Style, Piercings und Tattoos, ist für gewöhnlich hart im Nehmen. Als ihre geliebte Großmutter ihr jedoch gesteht, sie jahrelang über den Tod ihrer Eltern belogen zu haben, ist Cassie tief erschüttert. Denn es gab nie einen tödlichen Autounfall, als sie noch klein war – stattdessen wurde ihr Vater für den brutalen Mord an ihrer Mutter verurteilt und saß 17 Jahre im Gefängnis.Mithilfe von DS Phyllida Flyte – die inzwischen beinahe so etwas wie eine Freundin ist – stellt Cassie Recherchen an, die jedoch immer mehr Fragen aufwerfen. Dann taucht ihr Vater plötzlich bei Cassie auf und behauptet, unschuldig zu sein.Offenbar können nur die Toten die ganze dramatische Wahrheit enthüllen …Auch in ihrem 2. Forensik-Thriller verbindet A. K. Turner hoch spannendes Insiderwissen aus der Pathologie mit ebenso faszinierenden wie liebenswerten Protagonisten.Die packende Thriller-Reihe aus England von A. K. Turner ist in folgender Reihenfolge erschienen:- Tote schweigen nie- Wer mit den Toten spricht- Tote klagen an

Sie ist die Fürsprecherin der Toten:Im Forensik-Thriller »Tote klagen an« löst Cassie Raven, die toughe Pathologie-Assistentin mit einer Vorliebe für Piercings und Tattoos, ihren 3. Fall.Cassie Raven steckt in einer tiefen Krise: Schon seit Monaten hat die junge Assistentin der Rechtsmedizin keinen jener besonderen Momente mehr erlebt, in denen die Toten zu ihr »sprechen«. Hat sie ihre Gabe verloren – und falls ja, welchen Sinn hat es dann, sich täglich mit so viel Tod zu umgeben?Als eines Tages eine Leiche gegen den Rumpf ihres Hausbootes stößt, geht der Fall Cassie ungewöhnlich nahe. Der junge Mann kann nicht identifiziert werden, und niemand scheint ihn zu vermissen. Zwar kommt der Tote DS Phyllida Flyte vage bekannt vor, doch einen nützlichen Hinweis auf seine Identität hat auch sie nicht.Dann stellt Cassie fest, dass der Leichnam schneller verwest, als er sollte, und ihr kommt ein Verdacht, der sich leider nur auf illegale Weise bestätigen lässt …Gothic-Style, exzellentes Fachwissen und eine besondere Verbindung zu den Toten: Cassie Raven rockt die Rechtsmedizin!Die packende Thriller-Reihe aus England von A. K. Turner ist in folgender Reihenfolge erschienen:- Tote schweigen nie- Wer mit den Toten spricht- Tote klagen an

Ein Sturz aus dem 10. Stock, eine Abschieds-SMS, eine Tote, die nicht schweigt: Selbstmord – oder Mord?Der Forensik-Thriller »Was die Toten sehen« von A. K. Turner ist der 4. Fall für die toughe Cassie Raven, den Punk-Superstar in der Gerichtsmedizin.Beinahe läuft Cassie Raven auf dem Weg zur Arbeit in eine Polizei-Absperrung. Die große Blutlache auf dem Weg vor dem Wohnblock und ein Polizist auf einem Balkon im 10. Stock sagen der erfahrenen Pathologie-Assistentin alles, was sie wissen muss. Cassie ist also nicht überrascht, dass in der Leichenhalle ein mutmaßlicher Suizid auf sie wartet.Doch als sie die Tote sieht, ist sie fassungslos: Denn die ist niemand anderes als Bronte, eine extrem beliebte Sängerin, die kurz vor dem ganz großen Durchbruch stand – und eine ehemalige Klassenkameradin von Cassie.Es gibt eine Abschieds-SMS, die nahelegt, dass Bronte mit dem Erfolgsdruck nicht umgehen konnte. In der Presse war mehrfach von Drogen- und Alkoholexzessen zu lesen. Aber ein paar kleine Ungereimtheiten bei der Sektion lassen Cassie nicht los. Als dann auch noch DS Phyllida Flyte in den Fall verwickelt wird, braucht Cassie gute Nerven und ihre besondere Gabe …Cool, tough, schwarzhumorig – und genial geschrieben: die erfrischend ungewöhnliche Thriller-Reihe aus EnglandDie unangepasste Cassie Raven sorgt für frischen Wind in der Gerichtsmedizin: schwarzhumorige Spannung für die Fans von »Silent Witness« und Leser*innen von Tess Gerritsen, Kathy Reichs oder Patricia Cornwell.»Stark […] mit einer der spektakulärsten Wendungen in der zeitgenössischen Kriminalliteratur.« Sunday TimesA. K. Turners Forensik-Thriller aus London erscheinen auf Deutsch in folgender Reihenfolge:- Tote schweigen nie- Wer mit den Toten spricht- Tote klagen an- Was die Toten sehen
