Thriller Police Procedural
New York Times bestselling author Stephan Talty's
acclaimed fiction debut, Black Irish, won him
comparisons to such thriller masters as Jo Nesbø, Karin
Slaughter, and Tana French. Now, his chilling new novel
brings back intrepid heroine Absalom Kearney, a driven
police detective with a haunted past, trying to make a
difference in a troubled town. Hangman, Hangman, what do you see? Four little girls, as
cute as can be. The eerie schoolyard chant still sends ripples of horror
through North Buffalo. Not so long ago, serial killer
Marcus Flynn preyed upon the community's teenaged daughters
— until he was cornered and shot in the head. But Flynn
lived, carrying to prison the nickname "Hangman," along
with the secret of his last victim's fate. Homicide cop
Abbie Kearney wasn't around during Hangman's reign of
terror. She hadn't yet come home to wear her dad's old
badge in the tough Irish American stronghold known as "the
County." Abbie had never experienced firsthand the horror
of Hangman. Until now. Hangman, Hangman, where do they go? Down on the ground,
where the daffodils grow. A corrections officer lies dead, a prison van stands
empty...and somewhere out there, the monster who condemned
innocents to death at the end of a rope watches and waits
to strike again. Abbie leads a desperate manhunt through a
city driven to its knees by fear, matching wits with a
predator as brilliant as he is elusive. But as more victims
are claimed, a rising tide of secrecy, paranoia, and
politics forces her to realize that stepping beyond the law
may be the only way to find justice. Because with each
passing hour, the stakes grow higher — and Hangman's noose
gets tighter.
