About this product

Product Information

Now in paperback, the new crime thriller from the No.1 bestselling author of the The Chemistry of Death. A killer on the loose. A murder disguised as an accident. As a favour to a colleague, Dr David Hunter is on the remote Hebridean island of Runa to inspect a grisly discovery. He's familiar with death in all its guises but is shocked by what he finds- a body, incinerated but for the feet and a single hand. It appears to be a textbook case of spontaneous human combustion. The local police are certain it's an accidental death but to Hunter the scorched remains suggest otherwise, And as the isolated community considers the enormity of Hunter's findings, a catastrophic storm hits the island. The power goes down, communication with the outside world ceases . . . And the killing begins in earnest.

Thrilling, engaging, credible whodunit. Well worth the read.
Simon Beckett has the reader "in his pocket" from page one, sentence one. This second in the series of four thriller whodunits featuring forensic anthropologist David Hunter demonstrates Beckett's thorough research and background knowledge, and his talent for building a credible and engaging story. He takes the reader along for the ride as he delves into the intricacies of the crime, and of David Hunter's personality and experiences. Beckett's writing style is knowledgable, thrilling, but very down-to-earth. I bought this book because I am a classic "whodunit" fan, and I found this writer by accident in a condensed book series. Beckett compares in my opinion with the best of Agatha Christie, P.M Carlson, Val McDermid, Colin Dexter, Nevada Barr et al. I could not put it down, I read the entire book in one sitting, and I subsequently bought the other three "David Hunter" books in the series. Well worth a read, in my opinion.Read full review
