Synopsis

Book by Hayder Mo

Présentation de l'éditeur

DI Jack Caffery, the hero of Mo Hayder’s bestselling novels Birdman and The Treatment, is back. Seconded from London to Bristol, Caffery is trying to leave his personal life behind, but he cannot escape the memories of his younger brother’s murder and the suspect who went free. When police diver Sergeant Phoebe “Flea” Marley discovers a freshly severed human hand in Bristol’s harbour and its mate buried under a restaurant’s doorstep, Caffery is there to lead the investigation. But rather than find answers, or a body to match those hands, Caffery and Flea discover a terrifying underworld of drug addiction, ritual mutilation and muti, African medicine magic.
    Tormented by his personal demons, Caffery seeks out the company of the infamous Walking Man, a recently released convict from a high-security prison, who sleeps rough and walks the country roads as he relives the memories of a terrifying crime. Flea Marley has her own ghosts to confront—the cave-diving death of her parents in a cold, water-filled hole in South Africa—and a frightening personal association with the crime she and Caffery are investigating.
    Britain’s “Queen of Fear” has once again proven herself a master of her craft. Ritual is a gripping psychological thriller, a chilling story seen through the eyes of complex characters and told with masterful voice and style.
