Greenwich, south-east London. The Met's crack murder squad is called out by CID detectives to a grim discovery. Five bodies, all young women, are ritualistically murdered and dumped. Post mortems reveal a most dangerous sexual serial killer on the loose.
Mo Hayder may have just become my favourite crime writer. I couldn't put this book down. It was grim, gruesome, horrific and very human.
The plot and characters were polished, and even the antagonists had moments in which they elicited sympathy. But be warned, these books will not be for the fainthearted or squeamish.
