THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
“Brilliant!” —Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author
“Two well-chewed thumbs up.” —Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author
An addictive debut thriller starring an FBI consultant with a peculiar taste for crime and punishment…
A boy vanishes on his way home from school. His frantic mother receives a ransom call: pay or else. It’s only hours before the deadline, and the police have no leads. Enter Timothy Blake, an FBI consultant with a knack for solving impossible cases but whose expertise comes at a price. Every time he saves a life, he takes one, trying to satisfy an urge he fears he can only control for so long.
And this time Blake may have met his match. The kidnapper is more cunning and ruthless than any he’s faced before. And he’s been assigned a new partner within the Bureau: a woman linked to the past he’s so desperate to forget. Because he has a secret, one so dark he will do anything to keep it hidden.
For fans of Dexter and Hannibal, Hangman introduces a darkly mesmerizing character whose skill at finding criminals comes from a knowledge that can only be learned firsthand.
Why did I add Hangman to my bookshelf?
This sounds like my kind of book! I like books that keep me guessing. This book’s main character is a sociopath who just happens to be working for the FBI. Since I am still under doctor’s orders not to read, I think it might be time to brush this one off.
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it?
OOoh intriguing! I love the sort of killer in plain sight thing! Kind of like Dexter! Lol. Hope you enjoy this one once you get to it!
I haven’t read this one, but it sounds really good.
I hope you enjoy it.
The cover is pretty haunting. Hope it’s a good one.
This sounds so good! I do love a fast paced read – especially this time of year.
A sociopath working for the FBI does sound like it would be a great story. Hope you can get back to reading soon.
