A simply stunning debut novel. Richard Godwin gives us a darkly poetic, deeply visceral tale of religious fanaticsm, political intrigue, and fractured minds on both sides of the law. For nearly four hundred pages each short chapter is as the thrust of the knife the killer is using to hack up a slew of victims, leaving Detective Inspector Frank Castle flailing in his wake. Always one step behind, Castle struggles to keep a grip of his own fragmenting sense of reality as the killer ploughs relentlessly on.
An intelligent, disturbing, beautifully written debut novel from a writer plying his craft from within the darkest reaches of the human psyche.
