The Death Sculptor

by Chris Carter
Compare to estimated retail price: S$16.97  

The item you've got your eye on is secondhand. You probably already know that, but just in case!

The Death Sculptor
The Death Sculptor

Ingenious killer puzzles LAPD in grim thriller.

If you enjoy a fast-paced crime narrative that keeps you guessing until the very last page, "The Death Sculptor" might be right up your alley. Detective Robert Hunter's race against time is not just an investigation; it's a descent into the mind of a methodical and chilling adversary. The unique draw for this book lies in its intricate plot and the cerebral game between the detective and the killer—a cat-and-mouse dynamic that should appease fans of taut, psychological suspense.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Good job you didn't turn on the lights . . . A student nurse has the shock of her life when she discovers her patient, prosecutor Derek Nicholson, brutally murdered in his bed. The act seems senseless - Nicholson was terminally ill with only weeks to live. But what most shocks Detective Robert Hunter of the Los Angeles Robbery Homicide Division is the calling card the killer left behind. For Hunter, there is no doubt that the killer is trying to communicate with the police, but the method is unlike anything he's ever seen before. And what could the hidden message be? Just as Hunter and his partner Garcia reckon they've found a lead, a new body is found - and a new calling card. But with no apparent link between the first and second victims, all the progress they've made so far goes out of the window. Pushed into an uncomfortable alliance with the confident Alice Beaumont, Hunter must race to put together the pieces of the investigation . . . before the Death Sculptor puts the final touches to his masterpiece.
