Wer Lügen sät

Charles Boxer #4

by Robert Wilson, Kristian Lutze (Translator)

Iago Melo ist kein Mann, dem man sich widersetzt. Der brasilianische Multimillionär weiß, was er will und wie er es bekommt. Ohne jeden Skrupel. Als seine Tochter Sabrina entführt wird, engagiert er zwar einen Unterhändler, spielt aber sein eigenes gefährliches Spiel. Denn ein Iago Melo darf keine Schwäche zeigen. Zum Glück hat er dabei die Rechnung ohne Charles Boxer gemacht, den angeheuerten Spezialisten aus Europa. Der tut alles, um Sabrina freizubekommen. Was er nicht ahnt, ist, dass er sich dabei tief in ein dicht gesponnenes Netz aus Politik und Rache verstrickt. Und dass am Ende auch seine eigene schmerzliche Geschichte eine wichtige Rolle spielen wird ...

Reviews

[Vera Sopa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Um rapto no Brasil, em S. Paulo. Um facto que é do conhecimento público. Convence à partida. Uma boa trama, um bom enquadramento sócio-politico e personagens marcantes. Robert Wilson provou o seu brilhantismo. Fiquei fã.

A história agarra desde o início com Sabrina, a vitima inocente do sequestro. E... Boxer. Um protagonista com passado, (há outros três thrillers anteriores que não li), mas não é o único.
Neste poderoso thriller temos uma terceira personagem impactante. O tenebroso Iago Melo, que está a negociar a libertação da filha.

Uma história repleta de ação e muita emoção, que podemos dividir em duas partes, em que o pico da adrenalina e do realismo foi durante o combate urbano, mas a intensidade e o desasossego continua até tudo ser revelado. Brutal!

[Cantona · Rating 1 out of 5]

Mega schwach. Bin schwer enttäuscht von Robert Wilson. Ich liebe seine Sevilla-Bücher und auch die ersten zwei seiner Boxer-Reihe sind stark. Aber was er hier abliefert ist unter aller Kanone, leider. Ein Gemetzel ohne Sinn und Verstand. Völlig überladen. Echt schade.

Ein absolut grandioses Buch und ein würdiges Ende der Reihe. Es ging sehr brutal los, was mich sehr überrascht hat, ging dann aber im typischen Stil des Autors weiter. Interessante Chraktere, Spannung pur und bis zum Schluss unvorhersehbar. Ich hoffe sehr, dass von dem Autor bald noch mehr kommt.

Mais um grande romance de Robert Wilson. Nunca desilude. Grande profundidade das personagens e belo estudo do ambiente, neste caso o romance desenrola-se em São Paulo, entre favelas e condomínios de luxo, no meio de uma guerra urbana.

Impressionou-me a parte do rapto e a descrição da pobreza moral e do ambiente cruel e vazio das favelas.
