Synopsis

The Sunday Times bestseller returns with his next unforgettable crime thriller. Fans of MJ Arlidge and Stuart MacBride won’t be able to put this down. John Sagan is a forgettable man. You could pass him in the street and not realise he’s there. But then, that’s why he’s so dangerous. A torturer for hire, Sagan has terrorised – and mutilated – countless victims. And now he’s on the move. DS Mark ‘Heck’ Heckenburg must chase the trail, even when it leads him to his hometown of Bradburn – a place he never thought he’d set foot in again. But Sagan isn’t the only problem. Bradburn is being terrorised by a lone killer who burns his victims to death. And with the victims chosen at random, no-one knows who will be next. Least of all Heck…

It’s always great to discover a new author, especially one that has a great series to catch up on. This book was part of a series, which I haven’t read yet- but it has sparked my imagination to buy the other books. The characters are well drawn and a brilliant if very violent story line. It quickly......more

Thanks to netgalley's free ARC I now have another author where I need to go track down their back catalogue. I really liked this book. Despite the blurb above a lot of the action is centered around two rival Bradburn gangs. Normally I hate gang crime novels but when you throw in a torturer for hire......more
