A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Praise for J.D. Barker: “A talented writer with a delightfully devious mind.”—Jeffery Deaver, #1 international bestselling author “Incredibly written, supremely creepy. I don’t say this lightly: J.D. Barker is a force to be reckoned with.”—Tosca Lee, New York Times bestselling author  “Barker’s ambitious debut is aimed squarely at fans of classic horror. Witches, spells, miniature demons, and personal doubt give plenty to latch on to... the plot moves at a brisk pace... a promising start to a planned series.”—Publisher's Weekly

“The Fourth Monkey is creepy, atmospheric and completely compelling. Excellent characterisation and a twisty turny plot make this an enthralling crime thriller... J. D. Barker has a knack for keeping the reader turning the pages.” —Bibliophile Book Club “I could not put it down... Barker’s novel is a rollercoaster of twists and turns so put the bar down and enjoy the ride.” —PopHorror   “Not since Hannibal Lecter had a friend for dinner has a serial killer been so skillfully rendered on the page.” —Taylor Elmore, Writer/Producer of Justified and Limitless   “Creepy, scary... and impossible to put down! THE FOURTH MONKEY is everything a thriller should be—a must read!” —Heather Graham, New York Times bestselling author   “A chillingly delicious page-turner.” —Kelley Armstrong, New York Times bestselling author    “Serial killers in fiction are a dime a dozen these days, and it takes a powerful lot of thought and crafty planning to come up with one who’s unique. In THE FOURTH MONKEY Barker does just that—and gives us more than one. And he bounces his bad guys off a colorful cast of believable characters. For you puzzle fans, there’s a story within the story as strange and twisty as the tale itself. But make no mistake, this is a suspense novel through and through, and it’s in no way shy about it.” —Jack Ketchum, award-winning author of Off Season and The Girl Next Door     “Gripping, addictive, and devilishly clever. From its opening salvo THE FOURTH MONKEY grabs you and never lets go. J. D. Barker is a stunning new talent.” —Barry Lancet, award-winning author of Tokyo Kill and Pacific Burn   “Fascinating, fast-paced thriller. J.D. Barker keeps you on the edge of your seat right up until the final twist. A gripping read!” —R.G. Belsky, author of the Gil Malloy thrillers   “In THE FOURTH MONKEY, J.D. Barker interweaves multiple mysteries into an exhilarating thriller with a compelling new villain. The complexity of the puzzles and the lighting pace funnels the reader through a Rube Goldberg contraption of twists and turns. Buckle yourself in and have fun!” —Alex Dolan, author of The Euthanist

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Se7en meets The Silence of the Lambs in this dark and twisting novel from the author Jeffery Deaver called, “A talented writer with a delightfully devious mind.”   For over five years, the Four Monkey Killer has terrorized the residents of Chicago. When his body is found, the police quickly realize he was on his way to deliver one final message, one which proves he has taken another victim who may still be alive.    As the lead investigator on the 4MK task force, Detective Sam Porter knows even in death, the killer is far from finished. When he discovers a personal diary in the jacket pocket of the body, Porter finds himself caught up in the mind of a psychopath, unraveling a twisted history in hopes of finding one last girl, all while struggling with personal demons of his own.   With only a handful of clues, the elusive killer’s identity remains a mystery. Time is running out and the Four Monkey Killer taunts from beyond the grave in this masterfully written fast-paced thriller.
