Synopsis

Three men are trapped in a triangle of madness and murder, in this dark psychological thriller based loosely on real events. In California, Sonny Boden, fresh out of prison for killing his grandparents, hides behind a mask of normalcy while luring hitchhikers to their deaths. But when paranoid schizophrenic Dwight Paulson witnesses one of Sonny's murders, he believes they share a twisted bond and begins his own killing spree. Meanwhile, Joe Wilder, a shattered family man plagued by apocalyptic voices, is drawn into the carnage. As their paths intertwine, bodies amass, and Sonny’s carefully constructed lie begins to unravel. He’s caught between two killers—each one threatening to expose his crimes. Sonny hatches a desperate plan. But in a world of madness, even the best plans fall apart… This book contains scenes of violence, death, blood, injury, sexual violence and crime.

About Matt Stanley

Matt Stanley started out writing Victorian detective thrillers as James McCreet, having written his Master’s thesis on the early development of the genre and been particularly inspired by the tales of Edgar Allan Poe. He has since written novels about nineteenth-century lighthouses and modern Greece. His Bloodhound Books novel is the result of extensive research into the deeds and the mental processes of serial killers, influenced by the writing style of US crime master Elmore Leonard (who replied to Matt’s 1980s fan letter with a typewritten note and some cool advice on writing bad guys).

After reading the first page I was hooked. Psychological thrillers aren't something I read a lot. But this was captivating and I found it hard to put it down.

Goodreads review by Gary on February 18, 2025

Set in 1970’s California, and what the author describes as ‘loosely based on real events’, this is a psychological thriller which will appeal to true crime, as well as fiction readers.

When I first heard about this book I was genuinely so excited to read it. Ordered it immediately and started it straight after my previous read. What a disappointment.

Being familiar with a couple of Matt Stanley’s literary novels, I was curious about his approach to a nominal thriller involving not one, but three serial killers. I was not disappointed.
