Summary

Obsessed over the avenging of his mother's death, convinced that her murderer still remains unpunished and taking action in the streets, Javier returns to his hometown pursuing her murderer´s capture once and for all. Through his law firm and using an insurer as a front company, he creates a secret organization with elite men, who act as his eyes and ears among the suburbs.
 When the investigation finally begins to pay off, the circle closes around a group of powerful and influential people who appear to be responsible for the drug trafficking, rape and murder network striking the city. Additional challenges arise as neither his men, nor himself, are able to prevent the investigation from reaching a personal level. Allowing themselves to be carried away over dangerous desires and uncontrollable passions, they will put the whole operation and even their own lives at risk...

    A major New Zealand TV show - Dark City: The Cleaner
 
An international bestseller and one of the top-selling novels in New Zealand's history, Paul Cleave's dark thriller is a brilliant, bloody masterpiece.
 
Joe is in control of everything in his simple life - both his day job as a janitor for the police department and his "night work." He isn't bothered by the daily news reports of the Christchurch Carver, who, they say, has murdered seven women. Joe knows, though, that the Carver killed only six. He knows that for a fact, and he's determined to find the copycat. He'll punish him for the one, then frame him for the other six. It's the perfect plan because he already knows he can outwit the police.
 
All he needs now is to take care of all the women who keep getting in his way, including his odd, overprotective mother and Sally, the maintenance worker who sees him as a replacement for her dead brother. Then there's the mysterious Melissa, the only woman to have ever understood him, but whose fantasies of blackmail and torture don't have a place in Joe's investigation.
