Als Anson Bishop - hoofdverdachte van een reeks gruwelijke moorden - zich overgeeft aan de politie, legt hij een schokkende getuigenis af. Een getuigenis die niet alleen het onderzoek naar de seriemoorden op losse schroeven zet, maar ook de levens van de betrokken rechercheurs verandert. Terwijl Bishop wordt ondervraagd, worden kort na elkaar vier lijken aangetroffen. Ze zijn in zout gelegd en zorgvuldig gepositioneerd. Bij alle vier worden de woorden Vergeef me, vader gevonden.

Voor de fans van Karin Slaughter en M.J. Arlidge. Het is vier maanden geleden dat detective Sam Porter het leven van Emory redde, maar daarbij Anson Bishop liet ontsnappen. De media en het politiekorps zijn ervan overtuigd dat hij zich door de moordenaar heeft laten bespelen. Porter wordt van de zaak gehaald en mag zich er ook privé niet meer mee bezighouden. Maar dat is makkelijker gezegd dan gedaan. Als het lichaam van de tiener Ella Reynolds wordt aangetroffen in een bevroren meer, denkt de politie direct aan Bishop. Is dit zijn volgende slachtoffer?

Una noche, Michael Fitzgerald descubre a una joven muerta en su bañera al volver del supermercado. Al lado del cadáver hay una pluma de gorrión. Aterrorizado, llama a la policía, que le interroga sobre la víctima, Alyssa Tepper, a la que él asegura no conocer. El detective Dobbs y la agente Gimble, del FBI, unen fuerzas en lo que parece un simple asesinato: cuando salen a la luz fotos en las que Michael aparece besando a Alyssa, es arrestado de inmediato, pero a las pocas horas aparece otra víctima con el mismo patrón: una pluma de gorrión colocada al lado del cuerpo.

El libro arranca justo donde termina la anterior entrega: Sam Porter, hasta ahora el detective al cargo del caso, ha sido apartado de él y es cada vez más sospechoso, el mayor hospital de la ciudad está cerrado por cuarentena por riesgo de contagio del virus SARS y entre los enfermos se encuentran los policías Clair y Klozowski, además de Upchurch, el cómplice del Cuarto Mono, que se debate entre la vida y la muerte. Su supervivencia es determinante para que el Cuarto Mono decida no liberar el virus al resto del país.

El detective de la policía de Chicago Sam Porter investiga el caso de un hombre atropellado, pues los indicios en la escena del crimen apuntan a que se trata de El Cuarto Mono, un asesino en serie que ha estado aterrorizando la ciudad. Su modus operandi consistía en enviar tres cajas blancas a los padres de las víctimas que secuestra y mata: una primera con una oreja, una segunda con los dos ojos, y otra con la lengua; y finalmente dejar abandonado el cuerpo sin vida en algún lugar.

El FBI ha retirado del caso Anson Bishop (el asesino de El Cuarto Mono) a Porter y su equipo, que pronto se enfrentan a una nueva serie de asesinatos: tras estar desaparecida durante tres semanas, el cuerpo de Ella Reynolds aparece en un estanque del Parque Jackson, aunque el agua hace meses que se heló. Además, lleva la ropa de otra joven desaparecida hace tan sólo dos días.

Auf dem Friedhof von Chicago wird eine Frauenleiche entdeckt. Augen, Zunge und Ohren wurden entfernt und in kleinen Schachteln verpackt daneben gelegt. Kurz darauf tauchen weitere, ähnlich zugerichtete Opfer auf. Für die Polizei und das FBI ist klar, dass die Morde die Handschrift des immer noch flüchtigen Four Monkey Killers Anson Bishop tragen. Doch Detective Sam Porter glaubt nicht daran. Als Bishop sich stellt und betäuert unschuldig zu sein, fällt der Verdacht auf Sam Porter selbst - denn er hat kein Alibi, dafür aber ein verheerendes Geheimnis.

To complicate her efforts, Cahokia's Metropolitan, a beloved and charismatic priest who despises the goddess as a demon, returns from a long pilgrimage and attempts to finalize the Wisdom-eradicating reform that dogged Sarah's father when he was king.

Since its original publication in 1996, Holy Land has become an American classic. In "quick, translucent prose" (Michiko Kakutani, New York Times) that is at once lyrical and unsentimental, D. J. Waldie recounts growing up in Lakewood, California, a prototypical post-World War II suburb. Laid out in 316 sections as carefully measured as a grid of tract houses, Holy Land is by turns touching, eerie, funny, and encyclopedic in its handling of what was gained and lost when thousands of blue-collar families were thrown together in the suburbs of the 1950s.
