Autor: M. W. Craven

Número de Páginas: 395

" Sombre et palpitant. " The Sun Un psychopathe ? Non, le Guérisseur, qui vous soulage de tous vos maux... Après Le Cercle de pierres et Black Summer, la 3e enquête de Washington Poe La dernière chose à laquelle on s'attend en déballant un cadeau, c'est bien de trouver à l'intérieur des fragments de corps humain... Bientôt, d'autres doigts sectionnés, accompagnés du même code cryptique, sont découverts dans des lieux aussi insolites que l'étal d'un boucher ou les fonts baptismaux d'une église. Face à ce jeu de pistes aussi macabre que déroutant, Washington Poe, de la National Crime Agency, pourra de nouveau compter sur Tilly Bradshaw, geek atypique, pour démêler les fils d'une enquête à double détente. Si les victimes sont des leurres et les coupables des marionnettes, quel est le but de celui qui se fait appeler le Guérisseur ? Et qui, dans l'ombre, tire les ficelles ?

When the post-mortem reveals she has gone to significant expense in disguising her appearance, Fluke knows this is no ordinary murder.

'This is high quality crime writing' A A Dhand The second dark and twisted thriller in the Avison Fluke series by M. W. Craven, the acclaimed author of The Puppet Show. Investigating how a severed hand ends up on the third green of a Cumbrian golf course is not how Detective Inspector Avison Fluke has planned to spend his Saturday. So when a secret protection unit from London swoops in quoting national security, he's secretly pleased. But trouble is never far away. A young woman arrives at his lakeside cabin with a cryptic message: a code known to only a handful of people and it forces Fluke back into the investigation he's only just been barred from. In a case that will change his life forever, Fluke immerses himself in a world of New Age travellers, corrupt cops and domestic extremists. Before long he's alienated his entire team, has been arrested under the Terrorism Act - and has made a pact with the Devil himself. But a voice has called out to him from beyond the grave. And Fluke is only getting started... Praise for M. W.
