Thriller
With the forensic acumen of Patricia Cornwell and the
atmosphere of Lynda La Plante's Prime Suspect series,
Birdman - already an international sensation prior to
publication - introduces a troubled homicide detective
battling the demons of his past while facing the psychopath
of the century. In the chilling opening to Birdman, the bodies of five women
are found, ritualistically mutilated and dumped on wasteland
in Greenwich, England. When post-mortem examinations reveal
a single, horrific signature linking the victims - a tiny
bird sewn into each chest - the police realize they are on
the trail of a serial killer with a terrifying mind. Detective Inspector Jack Caffery, young,driven, unshockable,
finds himself facing both hostilities within the force and
his own memory of a lethal failure, as he struggles to
unravel the most macabre murders he's ever seen. Now, as he
employs every weapon science can offer, he knows he has
little time before the sadistic killer strikes again. But he
has so little evidence. All he has are five mutilated
corpses and five dead little birds. Mo Hayder - with a keen psychological insight, brilliant
forensic and procedural detail, and a psychically wounded
but charismatic lead investigator - has written a first
novel of raw intensity and deep understanding that will
thrill the hearts of the most demanding readers of crime
fiction.
