Book Description

Release Date: 2 Sep 2010
Taut, tense and terrifying - AMERICAN DEVIL marks the thrilling debut of an outstanding new talent.

The Progression of Love: his ultimate artistic creation. Now all he needs is seven beautiful women.
For the violent killer stalking New York's streets, the trophies he will take from his victims are essential if he is to complete his masterpiece. That he also likes playing games with the police and his prey is a bonus. He can outwit everyone he comes up against. Or can he?
Detective Tom Harper is the NYPD's best chance of catching the American Devil. But he's on suspension for punching his superior. With panic gripping the city, Harper wants the challenge even if it means he has to undergo therapy from police psychologist Denise Levene. She believes he can be brought back into the fold, but can the NYPD trust him not to fall apart?
A deranged murderer and a volatile cop. Time is running out and there can only be one winner...

After trying a wide variety of jobs he finally gave in to his passion for reading and went on to study and then teach literature. Oliver now lives in London with his wife and children.

5.0 out of 5 stars An brilliant debut novel! 11 Sep 2011
By RT Twinem
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A truly exciting and original first novel by Oliver Stark. The writing is taut and the story telling top notch!Quite often crime stories can suffer from over complicated plots and unnecessary action...this is never the case here and there are some great red herrings to keep the reader guessing and at the edge of his seat:) I thoroughly recommend and look forward to the second in the series...

4.0 out of 5 stars Satisfying and Stylish 19 Nov 2011
By I. Bullen VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
I enjoyed this, it's well-plotted with enough going on in the periphery to keep you wondering about the eventual conclusion. You could argue that it's just another routine serial-killer hunt and admittedly, there are a lot of this kind of book about. However, the writing is of a high quality with the key characters well drawn and engaging for the most part. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys the genre, of which it's a very solid example.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible where has this guy been hiding. 1 Aug 2011
By D. Newstead VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Wow this guy really rocks with really tense set pieces amazing character depth and really gruesome murders absolutely nothing short of amazing!!
From an opening chapter of a really indepth murder followed by an unbalanced policeman being taken back onto the investigation a bad guy that would give old Alex Cross a run for his money it is just a perfect read. Cant wait for the next book.
