The Jigsaw Man

Beschreibung

"A heart-pounding roller coaster ride."-Tami Hoag, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Boy *Shortlisted for the 2022 Diverse Book Award* *A Crime Reads Most Anticipated Book of 2021* A serial killer and his copycat are locked in a violent game of cat and mouse. Can DI Anjelica Henley stop them before it's too late? On the day she returns to active duty with the Serial Crimes Unit, Detective Inspector Anjelica Henley is called to a crime scene. Dismembered body parts from two victims have been found by the river. The modus operandi bears a striking resemblance to Peter Olivier, the notorious Jigsaw Killer, who has spent the past two years behind bars. When he learns that someone is co-opting his grisly signature-the arrangement of victims' limbs in puzzle-piece shapes-he decides to take matters into his own hands. As the body count rises, DI Anjelica Henley is faced with an unspeakable new threat. Can she apprehend the copycat killer before Olivier finds a way to get to him first? Or will she herself become the next victim? Drawing on her experience as a criminal attorney, debut novelist Nadine Matheson delivers the page-turning crime novel of the year. Taut, vivid and addictively sinister, The Jigsaw Man will leave you breathless until the very last page.

Rezensionen

Praise for The Jigsaw Man:

'The Jigsaw Man ranks amongst the very best debut thrillers - we're talking top-ten territory here - I've read this past decade . . . It evokes, vibrantly and indelibly, a world I've never even glimpsed, much less entered - neither in literature nor in life: a London where those most in need of help are those most often denied it . . . Matheson's voice is exciting, urgent... and, now more than ever, vital' A.J. Finn, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

'This book is gruesomely good' Lesley Kara, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Rumour and Who Did You

'Move over, Hannibal Lecter, there's a new serial killer on the block in this awesome debut from Nadine Matheson. The Jigsaw Man will have you in pieces. Literally' David Jackson, author of The Resident

'Buckle up, readers! From the first scene, Nadine Matheson takes us on a heart-pounding roller coaster ride. From the aftermath of a grizzly crime to the hunt for a mad genius, The Jigsaw Man will take your breath away again and again. In DI Henley, Matheson has given us a smart, modern heroine. I hope this is only the first of many adventures for her' Tami Hoag, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Boy

'With a wit that complements her dark subject matter, Matheson writes superbly . . . A book to make you think, feel - and jump out of your chair' Daily Mirror
