Review
Praise for The Straw Men:'Just when you think there's nothing new under the sun in the world of the suspense novel, along comes one hell of a nasty spider call The Straw Men. It's brilliantly written and scary as hell. Be the first on your block to stay up all night with this one; it's a masterpiece, reminding us that even paranoids really do have enemies.' STEPHEN KING'A staggering, suspenseful journey through the darkness of American crime ... succeeds in revitalising the serial killer novel with assured gusto... A new beginning for a major British writer, whose crime debut instantly moves him into the Thomas Harris division' Guardian'Brilliantly plotted, stunningly written ... I read this in one go ... if this isn't a hit, I am a monkey's uncle. And I don't think I am'. Independent on Sunday
'There are groups of people who live in the cracks of this country . . . They are powerful and they kill.` The Straw Men are wealthy and well-connected. Their point man is the Upright Man, who is Ward Hopkins` long-lost brother, Paul, now a deadly killer. Ward is a man who has lost everything and who is desperate to track down Paul and stop the killings. Another man, Tom, walks into a forest intending to kill himself. Instead, after a bungled suicide attempt, he wakes to learn that he may have been in the company of Bigfoot, or some terrifying Neanderthal survivor. A woman is found dead in a motel, a computer hard disk stuffed into her mouth. A the killer`s `calling-card`? Nina Bayman, FBI agent, is afraid her ex-lover may be implicated in the crime. Each of these menacing strands are drawn together to make a complex but powerful and compelling thriller. (Kirkus UK)
