About the Book
The new thriller from the
bestselling author of Ragdoll
A detective with no one
to trust
He currently lives in sunny Bournemouth and can usually be found down the beach when he ought to be writing book two instead.
18 months after the
'Ragdoll' murders, a body is found hanging from Brooklyn Bridge, the word 'BAIT'
carved into the chest.
In London a copycat
killer strikes, branded with the word 'PUPPET', forcing DCI Emily Baxter into
an uneasy partnership with the detectives on the case, Special Agents Rouche
and Curtis.
Each time they trace a suspect, the killer is one step ahead.
With the body count rising on both sides of the Atlantic, can they learn to
trust each other and identify who is holding the strings before it is too late?
My Review
Hangman is the second book in the Detective William
Fawkes series and follows on from Ragdoll but 18 months down the line.
Wolf is AWOL and DCI Emily Baxter is called to
investigate what appears to be what they i.e. US Special Agent Elliot of the
FBI and a CIA Agent Damien Rouche are calling a copycat murder along the lines
of the Ragdoll Murders whose scars and turmoil are still lingering.
This copycat murder is on the other side of the world,
however the victim has a familiar name and also has the word BAIT carved deep
within the chest area. More murders
happen but these have the word PUPPET carved in the chest area.
What is the connection between these two words?
We are taken across both sides of the Atlantic as murders
are taking place along similar lines with carvings happening to each victim.
I found this book an interesting read but not as good as the
first book. It took me a while to get used to other characters in the book and also
felt like it took a while to start to flow and become interesting, however by
the time I had finished the book I could see why it had been done as it had.
I am now looking forward to the 3rd part of
this book and hopefully the return of Fawkes.
About the Author
At 33 years old, Daniel Cole has worked
as a paramedic, an RSPCA officer and most recently for the RNLI, driven by an
intrinsic need to save people or perhaps just a guilty conscience about the
number of characters he kills off in his writing.
