About the Author:
From Booklist:
MO HAYDER is the author of Birdman, The Treatment, The Devil of Nanking, Pig Island, Ritual, Skin and Gone, all of which have been international bestsellers. She was shortlisted for the CWA Dagger in the Library Award in both 2010 and 2011. Mo Hayder lives with her daughter in Bath, England. Visit her online at www.mohayder.net.
*Starred Review* Once again Hayder—author of such acclaimed crime novels as The Treatment (2001), The Devil of Nanking (2005), and Pig Island (2007)—masterfully explores the horrific boundaries of culture and evil. The setting is Bristol, England, where police diving expert “Flea” Marley is called in to investigate after a human hand is found in the Avon river. The discovery links Flea with burned-out detective Jack Caffery—the lead in both Birdman (1999), Hayder’s first novel, and The Treatment—and sets the pair on a journey into England’s heroin subculture. Following a trail that becomes darker with every turn, they move relentlessly toward a confrontation with practitioners of muthi, a form of African witchcraft that uses human body parts for healing and spell-casting rituals. Hayder has long been a master at blending crime and horror genres, but this time she outdoes herself, flip-flopping the supernatural and the explainable like a cycle of poison and antidote that will remain with the reader long after the final page. Superviolent, but for those with strong stomachs, completely gripping. --Elliott Swanson
