Synopsis

Sometimes, there's a thin line between love and hate. Or at least that's one theory for DI Zoe Dolan, tracking the Creeper-a stalker who's been breaking into women's homes and attacking them. But the Creeper's violence is escalating and there's no pattern, no clue as to how he's getting in, and no clue as to who's next. Until Jane Webster gets a call to the helpline where she volunteers. It's meant to be a confidential service and Jane is torn-it could be a hoaxer, but the soft voice at the end of the line has the ring of truth about it. He says he loves these women-but it's a love that ends in blood. When Jane tells the police, it should be the lead that Zoe needs-but it only pulls her further into a case that is already taking her dangerously close to the past she's never fully escaped. For Jane, Zoe and all the other young women of the city, suddenly nowhere is safe. Particularly their own bedroom at the dead of night...

About this title

Review:

Scary tension level remains high throughout. "

Mosby spares no graphic detail in building tension and terror. a crackling good tale. "

Ingeniously plotted. ...Mosby s strong characters, stunning plot twists, and overall assurance leave a powerful impression. "

Not for the faint of heart or stomach, but for the rest of you, The Murder Code heralds the American debut of a major new voice in crime fiction. "

Satisfying reading for those who favor character-driven crime fiction. "

Mosby (The Murder Code, 2013, etc.) has the talent to build both physical and psychological suspense. And he proves once again that he really knows how to work the strings. "

Absorbing. Mosby expertly intertwines the main plot lines with several subplots in this psychologically attuned thriller.

From the opening chapter, which delivers an intriguing shock, this is as taut and as scary a serial killer investigation as a reader could wish for, peopled with well-drawn characters and a sprinkling of red herrings to keep you guessing.

Scary tension level remains high throughout.

Steve Mosby has become one of a handful of writers who make me excited about crime fiction.--Val McDermid
