Death of the Black Widow

A stunning stand-alone thriller following a Detroit cop's hunt for a serial killer like no other, from the bestselling authors of The Noise. __________________________ THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER You never forget your first case. Officer Walter O'Brien is called to a murder scene on his first night with Detroit PD. A terrified young woman has bludgeoned her attacker with shocking skill. She is also a brilliant escape artist. Her flight from police custody makes the case impossible to solve - and, for Walter, impossible to forget. His fascination with the missing, grey-eyed woman approaches obsession. And when Walter discovers that he's not alone in his search, only one thing is certain . . . The string of murders didn't begin in his home city - but he's going to make sure it ends there. __________________________ Praise for James Patterson ' Nobody does it better' Jeffery Deaver 'A writer with an unusual skill at thriller plotting.' Mark Lawson, Guardian 'No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades.' Lee Child 'Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind.' Michael Connelly 'James Patterson is The Boss. End of.' Ian Rankin
