The sleepy town of Heartsdale, Georgia, is jolted into panic when Sara Linton, paediatrician and medical examiner, finds a woman dead in the local diner.

She has been cut: two deep knife wounds form a lethal cross over her stomach. But it's only once Sara starts to perform the post-mortem that the full extent of the killer's brutality becomes clear.

Police chief Jeffrey Tolliver - Sara's ex-husband - is in charge of the investigation, and when a second victim is found, crucified, only a few days later, both Jeffrey and Sara have to face the fact that themurder wasn't a one-off attack. What they're dealing with is a seasoned sexual predator. A violent serial killer...

Reseñas de la Crítica

'Don't read this alone. Don't read this after dark. But do read it.'

'Unsparing, exciting, genuinely alarming - a formidable debut'

'Slaughter brings the story to a shattering climax'

'Wildly readable ... deftly crafted, damnably suspenseful and, in the end, deadly serious. Slaughter's plotting is brilliant, her suspense relentless'

Graphical beyond words

I wanted to stop I wanted to close it but I listened and cried and was glad that she might die than rather she had to survive the horror... And that was only the beginning.

Gory

This book is spoken FAST FAST FAST, and is extremely hard to listen to. The speaker should SLOW DOWN. The storyline is good, although you would have to like extreme violence to enjoy it.

Easy read - with a predictable but solid story line.

The narrator was easy to listen to and the story followed with an predictable but solid story line. Enjoyable.

Decent story, good performance but…

It really pushed gratuitous violence and sick detail. I think we could have got the same story and sympathy with the characters with less detail on mutilations.

not one of my better reads...

The characters were predictable; the plot was too simple, you guess the murderer half way through and the character of Lena was awful, you just wanted to slap her everytime she opened her mouth. The main character was well rounded and the narrator was brilliant
