Scaredy Cat by Mark Billingham

Description

Scare someone enough, theyll do anything

It was a vicious, calculated murder. The killer selected his victim at Euston station, followed her home on the tube and strangled her to death in front of her child. At the same time, killed in the same way, a second body is discovered at the back of Kings Cross station. It is a grisly coincidence that eerily echoes the murder of two other women, stabbed to death months before on the same day

It is DI Tom Thorne who sees the link and comes to the horrifying conclusion. This is not a serial killer the police are up against. This is two of them. Finding the body used to be the worst part of the job. Not any more. Now each time a body is found, Thorne must live with the knowledge that somewhere out there is a second victim, waiting to be discovered

Billingahm confirms his promise, and delivers an assured and shocking thriller Guardian

Taut, gripping and stylish. Billingham delivers a chilling exploration of power and submission. Unutdownable Time Out
