Mr. Fox: Roman

Rate this book
Wer ist Francis Fox?

Der charmante, gutaussehende Mittelschullehrer entzückt gleichermaßen Schüler und Kollegium an der prestigeträchtigen Langhorne Academy. Zwar wundert man sich über sein plötzliches Erscheinen im ländlichen New Jersey und seinen rätselhaften Werdegang, aber seine Referenzen sind makellos und sein Unterricht einnehmend. Doch als im lokalen Naturreserverat Fox’ Auto sowie verstreute Teile eines unidentifizierten Körpers gefunden werden, ist für Detective Horace Zwender klar, dass Francis Harlan Fox nicht der Mann ist, der er vorgibt zu sein. ​In diesem hypnotisierenden Roman ist eine ganze Gemeinschaft dazu gezwungen, verstörende Blicke hinter die eigene gesellschaftliche Fassade zu werfen. Francis Fox ist ein moderner Tom Ripley, dem man nicht widerstehen kann.
