Book description
Greenwich
, south-east London
Detective Inspector Jack Caffery - young, driven, unshockable - is
called to one of the most gruesome crime scenes he has ever seen. Five
young women have been ritualistically murdered and dumped on wasteland
near the Dome. Subsequent post-mortems reveal a singular, horrific
signature linking the victims.
Soon Caffery realises that he is on the trail of that most dangerous
offender: a serial killer. Beset by animosity within the police force,
haunted by the memory of a very personal death long ago, Caffery
employs every weapon forensic science can offer to hunt him down.
Because he knows that it is only a matter of time before this
sadistic killer strikes again ...
Mo Hayder has written some of the most terrifying crime thrillers
you will ever read. Her first novel, Birdman, was hailed as a
'first-class shocker' by the Guardian and her follow-up, The
Treatment was voted by the Times one of 'the top ten most scary
thrillers ever written'. In 2012 Gone won the
prestigious Edgars Best Novel award.
Mo left school at 15 and has worked as a barmaid, security guard,
English teacher, and even a hostess in a Tokyo club. She has an MA in
film making from the American University in Washington DC and an MA in
creative writing from Bath Spa University. She now lives in England's
West Country and is a full-time writer.
