A brilliant, fast-paced thriller from 'a flat out entertainer' Daily Telegraph
Also a major film starring Liam Neeson, Dan Stevens and Ruth Wilson - now available on Netflix
Kenan Khoury's wife never returned from her shopping trip - at least, not alive. A ransom is demanded and paid; and his wife is duly returned to him - in small pieces in the boot of an abandoned car. But as Khoury's wealth has not come entirely honestly, he can't go to the police.
PI Matt Scudder is left to speculate on the motives of a very unusual kidnapper. And soon he is on the trail of a pair of ruthlessly sadistic psychopaths whose cruel games have only just begun...
