Circling high over Rockefeller Center is a peregrine falcon, the most awesome of the flying predators. She awaits a signal from her falconer. It is given: the bird attacks, plummeting from the sky at nearly 200 miles an hour, striking a young woman and killing her instantly. So begins Peregrine, a chilling tale of obsession. By chance, newscaster Pamela Barrett witnesses the slaying. Her impassioned account of it on television that evening thrills the falconer, a brilliant madman who identifies with his deadly bird. He becomes fascinated with Pam and enmeshes her in a bizarre and deadly scheme even as she finds herself drawn to him by an erotic need she doesn't understand. As killing follows killing, the police and the media engage in cutthroat competition to find the murderer. Two falcons fight to the death above Central Park. Call girls, rich eccentrics, dealers in the black market for rare birds--all play their roles in this study of secret passion, desire, fulfillment, and ecstasy.

De eenzame call-girl die in de Newyorkse West Side was vermoord, had de gruwelijk om het leven gebrachte, keurige onderwijzeres uit Upper East Side nooit ontmoet. Maar iemand had hen onthoofd en hun hoofden geruild: een zinloze misdaad die echter volmaakt werd uitgevoerd. Rechercheur Frank Janek is een specialist in het binnendringen van de geesteswereld van de misdadigers op wie hij jacht maakt. Het is Janeks liefde voor Caroline die hem plotseling het motief voor de dubbele moord doet vermoeden. Te laat beseft hij dat de zaak van de 'geruilde hoofden' alleen maar een valstrik is...

Sieben grauenvoll zugerichtete Leichen erschüttern Jerusalem. Scheinbar gibt es für die Mordserie kein erkennbares Motiv. Doch der ehrgeizige Kriminalbeamte David Bar-Lew findet sehr bald eine heiße Spur: Sie führt in höchste Regierungs- und Geheimdienstkreise und droht dort zu versanden. Gegen den Willen seiner Vorgesetzten gelingt es Bar-Lew dann, ein atemberaubendes Komplott aufzudecken. Orhodoxe Juden, christliche Fundamentalisten und frustrierte Offiziere wollen eines der bedeutendsten Heiligtümer zerstören: den Felsendom. Ihr Motive sind konträr, ihr Ziel ist gleich: KRIEG.
