Quatrième de couverture :

'Don't read this alone. Don't read this after dark. But do read it' Daily Mirror

The sleepy town of Heartsdale, Georgia, is jolted into panic when Sara Linton, paediatrician and medical examiner, finds Sibyl Adams dead in the local diner. As well as being viciously raped, Sibyl has been cut: two deep knife wounds form a lethal cross over her stomach.

When a second victim is found, crucified, only a few days later, it becomes clear that Sibyl's brutal murder wasn't a one-off attack. What Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver are dealing with is a seasonal sexual predator. A violent serial killer...

'This gripping debut novel ... is likely to have Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs glancing nervously in their rearview mirrors' Irish Independent

'Slaughter brings the story to a shattering climax' Sunday Telegraph

'Slaughter has created a ferociously taut and terrifying story ... I defy anyone to read it in more than three sittings' Denise Mina
