En un desguace medio abandonado cercano al Millenium Dome, en el este londinense, la policía realiza el macabro descubrimiento de cinco cadáveres de mujeres terriblemente mutilados. Las muertas estaban relacionadas con un pub de striptease de Greenwich y eran toxicómanas. El hecho de que todos los cuerpos presenten las mismas espeluznantes amputaciones, hace pensar que su asesinato ha sido obra de una mente perturbada, de un maníaco obseso pero que posee conocimientos médicos.

El recién ascendido inspector Jack Caffery es uno de los principales encargados de resolver el caso. A pesar de su cautela y profesionalidad, la compleja investigación que está llevando a cabo su equipo se verá entorpecida por Mel Diamond, un policía empecinado en inculpar a un hombre de raza negra que trapichea con drogas. Pero Caffery está convencido de que su colega ha errado el tiro y de que deben buscar al culpable en el Sr. Dunstan, un tenebroso centro médico cercano al local nocturno en el que trabajaban las víctimas.

El círculo de sospechosos se va estrechando en torno del que parece ser el presunto homicida, un joven que abandonó la carrera de Medicina años atrás y que padece serios trastornos psicológicos. Sin embargo, poco después aparece otro cadáver…

¿Se trata de otro criminal que le está imitando? ¿Fue realmente Harteveld el único causante de las muertes? ¿Hasta cuándo va a durar la angustia?

Just after lunch on a Tuesday in April, nine feet under water, police diver Flea Marley closes her gloved fingers around a human hand. The fact that there's no body attached is disturbing enough. Yet more disturbing is the discovery, a day later, of the matching hand. Both have been recently amputated, and the indications are that the victim was still alive when they were removed. DI Jack Caffery has been newly seconded to the Major Crime Investigation Unit in Bristol. He and Flea soon establish that the hands belong to a boy who has recently disappeared. Their search for him — and for his abductor — lead them into the darkest recesses of Bristol's underworld, where drug addiction is rife, where street-kids sell themselves for a hit, and where an ancient evil lurks; an evil that feeds off the blood — and flesh — of others …

Journalist Joe Oakes makes a living exposing supernatural hoaxes. A born sceptic, he believes everything has a rational explanation. But when he visits a secretive religious community on a remote Scottish island, everything he thought he knew is overturned. Questions mount: why has the community been accused of Satanism? What has happened to their leader, Pastor Malachi Dove? And perhaps most important, why will no one discuss the strange apparition seen wandering the lonely beaches of Pig Island? Their confrontation, and its violent and bloody aftermath, is so catastrophic that it forces Oaksey to question the nature of evil, and whether he might not be responsible for the terrible crime about to unfold. In her compulsive and haunting new novel, Mo Hayder dares her readers to face their fears head on and to look at what lurks beneath the surface of everyday normality. "Pig Island" is about the unspeakable things people can do to each other. Brace yourself for a terrifying read.

In un'area industriale semiabbandonata della periferia londinese vengono scoperti i cadaveri di cinque donne mutilate e seviziate. Scattano immediatamente le indagini che vengono affidate al giovane ispettore Jack Caffery. Egli comprende all'istante che i delitti sono opera di un maniaco: le vittime sono state infatti sottoposte a procedure chirurgiche amatoriali per la riduzione del seno e sono state pettinate e truccate in modo da ricordare delle bambole. La morte tuttavia non è stata causata dalle orrende ferite, bensì da un'iniezione letale; inoltre il killer ha inserito nel petto delle vittime e cucito accanto al cuore un uccellino vivo, simbolo e firma del suo macabro operato.

What if you found yourself divorced and penniless? With no skills and a teenage daughter to support? What if the only way to survive was to do things you never thought possible?

Then Sally's daughter gets into difficulties, and Sally finds she needs cash – lots of it – fast. With no one to help her, she is forced into a criminal world of extreme pornography and illegal drugs; a world in which teenage girls can go missing.

Two sisters intent on survival. Until one does something so terrifying that there's no way back…

'There is an act, a very particular form of torture, which anthropologists and historians occasionally ruminate over. It is an act still reported from time to time from far-flung war zones around the world. What is unusual is that in spite of the oral evidence it has never been captured on film. But if film did exist, some people say, the most likely place it would come from, the place that was always whispered, the place that first comes to mind, is Nanking.'

Student Grey Hutchins comes to Tokyo seeking a rare piece of film showing the notorious Nanking Massacre in which, in one city, the Imperial Japanese Army butchered up to 300,000 civilians. Only one man can help her, a survivor of the massacre, and now a visiting professor at the prestigious University of Todai in Tokyo; a man who is rumoured to possess documentary evidence of Nanking.But first Grey must gain his trust. Desperate and alone, she accepts a job as a hostess in an upmarket nightspot catering for Japanese businessmen and wealthy gangsters. One gangster dominates – an old man in a wheelchair guarded by a terrifying entourage – who is said to rely on a powerful elixir for his continued wealth and well-being. It is an elixir that others want for themselves – at any price.

With its focus on the Tokyo underworld and China in the late 1930s, and a woman who has a lot to prove and even more to hide, this is a literary thriller of the highest order.
