THE RITUAL HAS TO END. SOON.
Greenwich, south-east London: Detective Inspector Jack Caffery - young, driven, unshockable - is called to one of the most gruesome crime scenes he has ever seen. Five young women have been ritualistically murdered and dumped on wasteland near the Millennium Dome. Subsequent post-mortems reveal a singular, horrific signature linking the victims.
Soon Caffery realises that he is on the trail of that most dangerous offender: a serial killer. Beset by animosity within the police force, haunted by the memory of a very personal death long ago, Caffery employs every weapon forensic science can offer to hunt him down.
Because he knows that it is only a matter of time before this sadistic killer strikes again...
'A first-class shocker . . . a frightening mix of forensics, thrills, analytical police work and poetic images.' Guardian
'Wickedly constructed . . . The detail, if you can stomach it, is fascinating.' Daily Telegraph
'Hayder's vibrant narrative and crunchy characterisation propel the book along to its denouement with fearsome velocity' The Times©1999 Mo Hayder (P)2026 W.F. Howes Ltd.

Horrific and brutal in part, but I knew that before I listened. None of the despicable and abhorrent details of what humans are capable of doing to others, are written gratuitously or simply for the shock value.
Jack our ML is someone who has lived with trauma and grief his whole life. His story is written in such a way that makes you feel compassion towards him. I quickly became invested in him and in the story.
This is one of those books you can't put down, but also don't want to end. Its heart wrenching and bold. The story never dips in pace, just goes from one pulse revving situation to the next with fluidity.
Ive already lined up book 2 and by the reviews ive seen, is going to be as good as this or maybe even better?
Author, Narrator and Story, are completely in sync which is why I wish I had more stars to give xx
