  "description": "This dark and disturbingly compelling thriller from bestselling and prize-winning author Mo Hayder is not for the faint-hearted.

The detail, if you can stomach it, is fascinating.' -- Daily Telegraph 'Hayder's vibrant narrative and crunchy characterisation propel the book along to its de nouement with fearsome velocity' -- The Times 'WOW! This is one scary thriller, gripping from the first page to the last' -- ***** Reader review 'I was hooked!' -- ***** Reader review 'An exhilarating, but disturbing, read that has you on the edge of your seat from the get go' -- ***** Reader review ********************************************************************************************* THE RITUAL HAS TO END.

Soon Caffery realises that he is on the trail of that most dangerous offender: a serial killer . Beset by animosity within the police force, haunted by the memory of a very personal death long ago, Caffery employs every weapon forensic science can offer to hunt him down. Because he knows that it is only a matter of time before this sadistic killer strikes again...",
