Not For The Squeamish !!

Spellbinding mystery and horrifically violent! The story is in the mold of Caleb Carr’s “The Alienist” and “The Angel of Darkness” . Also, Carlos Ruiz Zafon’s quadrilogy, “The Cemetery of Forgotten Books”. However, much darker ! Vivid characterization of the period of time. Told through the eyes of the two main characters, both destined for death by distinctly different means. This is a profound story that will keep you glued or totally disgusted in every page. Definitely not for the faint hearted. However, this book is an international best seller for a good reason. Incredibly well written and descriptive.
