Beschreibung

“A harrowing tale of revenge. Hangman is a hardboiled police procedural . . . Readers come away not only entertained—and terrified—but also enlightened.” —Cemetery Dance   A woman is killed on Halloween night in Seattle. Death by hanging—as cruel and vicious as it was back in the days when it was employed as a means of justice. Only there is no justice in this murder. And it isn’t the last one. Suddenly the police on both sides of the US–Canadian border are tracking a killer with a taste for the drama of the gallows. And just when the investigation zeroes in on a suspect, another corpse is discovered. The string of bizarre and brutal killings leaves a complex trail of clues—and a terror that only escalates with each killing.   “Master of the Northern Giallo! There are more than a few reasons to take the stand and scream the glories of literary demon Michael Slade.” —Rue Morgue   “Hangman’s escalating suspense is sustained not only by readers wondering ‘whodunit,’ but who will be the next to die. Every character is both a suspect and a potential victim.” —Quill & Quire   “Murder with gore galore, and a killer who enjoys his hobby. There’s plenty of legerdemain before the trick ending.” —The Globe and Mail (Toronto)   “Fascinating . . . The research on real-life hangmen is deftly larded into the fast-paced story.” —The Vancouver Sun   “First-hand knowledge of the judicial system gives Slade’s thrillers their authenticity.” —North Shore News
