Genesis (The Fall, Band 1) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Every myth has a beginning. Every monster has a genesis. In the concrete jungle of Manhattan, Alec Donovan is just a man with a girlfriend and a job. But the city's wet, oppressive air clings to a secret, a hunger that he can no longer outrun. As a serial killer stalks the streets and his own darkest urges take hold, Alec must decide what he is: the man he pretends to be, or the predator he was reborn to become.

"She runs. They always do. And as I always do, I pursued."

For Alec, life was walking a razor's edge. It was all balance: human and vampire, work and college, his mentor and his girlfriend, daylight and nightlife. That all changes when his darker side takes control. He takes one step too far and the balance is dumped on top of him.

“Everything smelled wet,” his story begins, and so it remains as Alec descends into darkness and bloodshed. He watches the bodies pile up, victim to the forces that conspire around him. The more he tries to claw his way out, the deeper he digs.

He is hunted. His girlfriend is hunted. And human authorities search for the one they call The Mannequin. On top of that, he is haunted by his conviction that what he has done is wrong.
He is at the end of his rope, the coarse fibers stretched taught, but The Mannequin is more than just a man. He is another kind of animal.

Perfect for fans of Cormac McCarthy, Blake Crouch, and readers who crave stories that linger long after the final page!
