To the public, he’s a hero: a brutal killer who targets sex
offenders. To most of London’s police force, he’s the
suspect in a gruesome, time-consuming case to be avoided.
But to Detective Constable Maeve Kerrigan, he’s a
murderer—no matter the sins of his victims—and catching him
is her job. Assigned to the case with the division’s
unreadable new DI, Josh Derwent, young and inexperienced
Maeve is determined to prove she has what it takes to make
it as a female in the tough world of the London police.
But for a killer who strikes with such spectacle, this one
is proving remarkably elusive. And when Maeve learns his
motive might be about exacting revenge, his acts of
incredible violence move from abstract justice to the
intensely personal, and become all the more terrifying.
Unsure whom she can trust even within her own department and
knowing her life is at stake, Maeve will have to decide how
far she’s willing to go to ensure justice is served.
Jane Casey’s taut, brilliantly executed thriller The
Reckoning will have readers on the edge of their seats from
the opening chapter to the stunning conclusion.
