Synopsis
When a body is found ripped apart and torn, although the slashings appear random, Detective Inspector Alison Dexter recognizes that the marks are actually butchers' cuts of meats: the primal cuts. As Dexter investigates, she starts receiving threatening letters and body parts - human body parts.

Review
'Remarkable... Consider it a combination of Thomas Harris, Ian
Rankin and Reginald Hill' -- Deadly Pleasures
'The writing is assured, with first-rate characterisation and
narrative drive'
-- Susanna Yager, Sunday Telegraph

Primal Cut
Seller: Book Haven, Wellington, WLG, New Zealand
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Eight years ago, the national tabloids had a feeding frenzy over the 'Primal Cut' killings. The Garrod brothers, East End butchers, had turned their expertise to rendering human flesh.The case made DS Alison Dexter notorious. She identified the murderers and ended their orgy of killing, but in the process took what Bartholomew Garrod most valued: his brother's life. With her career in ruins and her personal safety in jeopardy, Dexter was transferred to Cambridgeshire. Now Dexter finds herself drawn into an investigation probing the underbelly of the area's crime scene - bare-knuckle boxing, dog fights and murder. As she gets closer to the truth, it's clear Garrod hasn't forgotten the debt she owes him - he wants his pound of flesh and will do whatever it takes to get it. 368 pages. Seller Inventory # 1151136
