The Calling of the Grave by Simon Beckett

The Calling of the Grave by Simon Beckett

When DI Terry Connor turns up on David Hunter's doorstep, it's an unwelcome reminder of the past in more ways than one. The two used to be friends before Connor's behaviour caused a bitter rift. And the news the policeman brings is even less welcome: the psychotic rapist and murderer Jerome Monk has escaped from high security prison.

As bone-chillingly bleak as its subject.. this doesn't disappoint * FINANCIAL TIMES *
Deeply unnerving... a writer who clearly relishes raising our pulse rates while lowering our blood temperature -- BARRY FORSHAW
