Riassunto

Someone - a woman or somebody pretending to be a woman, is writing to convicted rapists in prison, befriending them and then brutally killing them when they are released.
DI Tom Thorne must discover the link between these killings and a murder/suicide that took place twenty-five years before ; a tragedy to which the only witnesses were two small children, now adults and nowhere to be found...
How can you escape a past that will do a lot more than just catch up with you?
And how can Thorne catch a killer, when he doesn't really care about the victims?

Su questo libro

Recensione:

LAZYBONES is insanely gripping, the type of book that can rob you of a whole night's sleep. The dark humour is perfectly weighted, the rhythm of the prose is perfectly quick and our hero is likeably dishevelled and careworn. (BIG ISSUE)

An excellent thriller. (DUBLIN EVENING HERALD)

A compellingly satisfying police procedural that never loosens its grip on your throat. (DAILY MAIL)

LAZYBONES is meticulously researched, as interesting as it is enjoyable. (DAILY MIRROR)

Descrizione del libro:

Years after they'd committed their crimes and served their sentences, rapists are turning up dead in hotel rooms. Some people might believe the killings have a positive effect on re-offending rates, but Detective Inspector Thorne knows he has to track down the murderer.
