Review
Jonathan Kellerman has 30m copies of his crime novels in print. It is useful to bear this statistic in mind as another one joins them. For this is a market hungry for new product, and this book will not disappoint. Kellerman is the world's number one psychological thriller writer, delivering book after book, much to the delight of his huge readership. Here, Jeremy Carrier, a young psychologist, is plunged into the world of violent crime when his girlfriend is kidnapped and brutally murdered. Soon other women are discovered similarly despatched, and the police treat Carrier as a suspect. The only way to prove his innocence is to find the killer, or killers, himself. Tense stuff. And for the bookshop crime buyer, the only worry is how high to make the pile.
Product Description
Kellerman always delivers the goods' Independent on Sunday. When psychologist Dr Jeremy Carrier's romance with nurse Jocelyn Banks is cut short by her kidnapping and brutal murder, he is left emotionally devastated and being watched by police seeking a prime suspect in the unsolved killing. When more women turn up murdered in the same gruesome fashion, the only way for Jeremy to prove his innocence is to follow the trail of a cunning psychopath. Spurring on Jeremy's investigation is Dr Arthur Chess, an enigmatic pathologist who draws Jeremy into the confidence of a cryptic society. But when Arthur suddenly slips away, Jeremy is left to contend with an onslaught of anonymous clues - and the growing realization that a harrowing game of cat and mouse has been started.
