Polos opuestos / Sacred Sins

Las investigaciones para dar con un asesino perturbado unirán los caminos de una bella psiquiatra y un taciturno detective. Son opuestos en tantas cosas..., y sin embargo eso solo atiza más las llamas de la atracción.

Una serie de asesinatos mantiene en vilo al departamento de policía de Washington y más concretamente al detective Ben Paris. Uno tras otro, los cadáveres de mujeres rubias y de complexión ligera aparecen estrangulados en distintos puntos de la ciudad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Combining explosive suspense with sensual passion, Nora Roberts turns up the heat in this classic tale — the sizzling story of a man and woman on the trail of a demented killer, a search that will plunge them headlong into danger....

In the lazy days of summer, a merciless heat wave is the biggest story in Washington, D.C. But the weather is knocked off the front pages when a young woman is found strangled to death. A note left behind reads Her sins are forgiven her.

Two more victims soon follow, and suddenly every headline is devoted to the killer the press has dubbed "the Priest." When the police ask top-notch psychiatrist Dr. Tess Court to help with their investigation, she comes up with a disturbing portrait of a twisted soul.

Detective Ben Paris doesn't give a damn about the killer's psyche. What he can't easily dismiss is Tess. Tall, dark, and good-looking, Ben has a legendary reputation with women, but the coolly elegant Tess doesn't react to him like other women he's known — and he finds the challenge enticing.

Now, as the two are thrown together in a perilous quest to stop a serial killer, the flame of white-hot passion flares. But someone also has his eyes on the beautiful blond doctor ... and Ben can only pray that if the madman strikes, he'll be able to stop him before it's too late..

About the author

Nora Roberts, la autora número 1 en ventas de The New York Times y 'la escritora favorita de América', como la describió la revista The New Yorker, comentó en una ocasión: 'Yo no escribo sobre Cenicientas que esperan sentadas a que venga a salvarlas su príncipe azul. Ellas se bastan y se sobran para salir adelante solas. El "príncipe" es como la paga extra, un complemento, algo más... pero no la única respuesta a sus problemas'.

Más de cuatrocientos millones de ejemplares impresos de sus libros avalan la complicidad que Nora Roberts consigue establecer con mujeres de todo el mundo. El éxito de sus novelas es indudable, y quienes la leen una vez, repiten. Sabe hablar a las mujeres de hoy sobre sí mismas: sus lectoras son profesionales, fuertes e independientes, como los personajes que crea en sus libros, y sus historias llegan a un público femenino muy amplio porque son mucho más que novelas románticas.

Las cifras son fenomenales: Nora Roberts ha escrito más de 180 novelas que se publican en 34 países, se venden unas 27 novelas suyas cada minuto y 42 han debutado en la primera semana de ventas en el codiciado número 1 de The New York Times.
