Teaser Tuesday – 25/02/14

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title and author too so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!

Teaser Tuesdays ist ein wöchentliches Mem, das MizB von Should Be Reading ausrichtet. Jeder kann mitspielen. Du musst nur folgendes tun:

• Schnapp Dir Deine aktuelle Lektüre.
• Schlag zufällig irgendeine Seite auf.
• Zitier zwei (2) „Anreißer“ („Teaser“) Sätze von dieser Seite.
• Achte darauf, dass KEINE SPOILER dabei sind. Verrat nicht zuviel von der Handlung. Schließlich möchtest Du niemandem das Buch madig machen.
• Schreib den Titel und Autor des Buchs dazu, damit andere Teaser Tuesdays Teilnehmer das Buch ggfs. auf ihre Wunschliste setzen können.
• Vergiss nicht Deinen Teaser Tuesdays Beitrag auf Should Be Reading zu verlinken.

I’m currently reading No One Knows You’re Here by Rachel Howzell. So that’s where this week’s Teaser is from.
Ich lese zur Zeit No One Knows You’re Here von Rachel Howzell. Aus diesem Buch stammt auch mein heutiger „Teaser“.

…Los Angeles is the perfect place for killing. It’s big. It’s overcrowded. No one knows you’re here unless you want them to know.

– Chapter 9, No One Knows You’re Here by Rachel Howzell

The blurb says:
Der Klappentext lautet:

Three weeks out of cancer surgery, crime reporter Syeeda McKay is in the pursuit of Los Angeles’s most active serial killer. Over the last twenty years, the Phantom Slayer has hunted African-American prostitutes working in one of the worst parts of South Los Angeles, killing eight victims in the alleys off Western Avenue, and then disappearing into the shadows. But Syeeda doesn’t know that the killer has turned his sights on her.

Detective Adam Sherwood, a hotshot investigator with the Robbery-Homicide Division of the LAPD, has been handed the Phantom Slayer cases, and together, he and Syeeda must figure out who is doing the killing . . . before Syeeda becomes his next victim.
