Description
Rattle: A serial killer to chill your bones.
A gripping and heart-pounding thriller that gives a glimpse into the mind of a psychopath even more terrifying than Hannibal Lecter. If you like Mo Hayder and Thomas Harris's Silence of the Lambs, you'll love Rattle and The Collector.
A SERIAL KILLER TO CHILL YOUR BONES. A FAMILY TO WARM YOUR HEART. A DETECTIVE WHO MUST HUNT HIM DOWN.
He has planned well. He leads two lives. In one, he's just like anyone else. But in the other, he's the caretaker of his family's macabre museum.
Now the time has come to add to his collection. He is ready to feed his obsession, and he is on the hunt.
Jakey Frith and Clara Foyle have something in common. They have what he needs.
What begins is a terrifying cat and mouse game between the sinister collector, Jakey's father, and DS Etta Fitzroy, a detective investigating a spate of abductions.
'It's a rare debut that has this much polish. Harrowing and horrifying, head and shoulders above most of the competition' - Val McDermid
