Jessica Haider 1 - Bloodline: the first part in the series about Jessica Haider the Dutch Dexter
Detective Jessica Haider is the Dutch Dexter!
Bloodline is the first part in a series of blood-curdling psychological thrillers by Corine Hartman. For this series, Hartman created the character Jessica Haider, a beautiful but unconventional detective who is very similar to Jeff Lindsay's Dexter: in addition to solving murder and violent crimes, she also leaves a trail of unsolved murder cases. The killer who Jessy is after can count on being dealt with very definitively...
Detective Jessica (Jessy) Haider experiences periods of intense grief and mourning, but also of helpless rage after the death of her son. Nick was murdered by a psychopath whom she had put behind bars years earlier and since his escape the man seems to have only one goal: to ruin her life.
After a forced leave, Jessy has to prove that she can handle her job again. The sixteen-year-old daughter of a nursery family seems to have committed suicide. It soon becomes clear that the girl had every reason to live and the detective does not believe in suicide. Jessy dives into the life of the nursery family, but has a hidden agenda: she seizes the case to track down the tormentor who murdered her son. It is the beginning of a cat-and-mouse game of life and death.
