The Slaughter Man: (DC Max Wolfe) by Tony Parsons

'This is brilliant stuff!' Peter James A murdered family. A dying serial killer. A missing child. DC Max Wolfe hunts a pitiless killer through the streets of London. By the Sunday Times number one bestselling author of The Murder Bag. On New Year's Day, a wealthy family is found slaughtered inside their exclusive gated community in north London, their youngest child stolen away. The murder weapon - a gun for stunning cattle before they are butchered - leads Detective Max Wolfe to a dusty corner of Scotland Yard's Black Museum devoted to a killer who thirty years ago was known as the Slaughter Man. But the Slaughter Man has done his time, and is now old and dying. Can he really be back in the game? And was the murder of a happy family a mindless killing spree, a grotesque homage by a copycat killer - or a contract hit designed to frame a dying man? All Max knows is that he needs to find the missing child and stop the killer before he destroys another innocent family - or finds his way to his own front door ... Even the happiest of families have black, twisted secrets that someone is ready to kill for...
A.D. 'Tony' Parsons has worked as a professional sheep and wool classer, an agricultural journalist, a news editor and rural commentator on radio, a consultant to major agricultural companies, and an award-winning stud breeder of many animals. He owned his first kelpie dog in 1944, and in 1950 he established 'Karrawarra', one of the top kelpie studs in Australia, and bred the first of his many trial winners in 1954. In 1992 he was awarded the Order of Australia Medal for his contribution to the propagation of the Australian kelpie sheepdog. Since 1947 he has published hundreds of articles, many in international publications, as well as several technical books, including three on the working kelpie. He is also a short story writer and columnist. Tony lives with his wife in Queensland, where he still breeds and shows merino stud sheep and maintains a stud of kelpies.
