There's a serial killer on the loose.

When bodies start washing up along the banks of the River Thames, DI Henley fears it is the work of Peter Olivier, the notorious Jigsaw Killer. But it can’t be him; Olivier is already behind bars, and Henley was the one who put him there.

The race is on before more bodies are found.

She’d hoped she’d never have to see his face again, but Henley knows Olivier might be the best chance they have at stopping the copycat killer. But when Olivier learns of the new murders, helping Henley is the last thing on his mind …

Will it take a killer to catch the killer?

Now all bets are off, and the race is on to catch the killer before the body count rises. But who will get there first – Henley, or the Jigsaw Killer?

n Praise for The Jigsaw Man:n

The Jigsaw Man ranks amongst the very best debut thrillers – we’re talking top-ten territory here – I’ve read this past decade . . . It evokes, vibrantly and indelibly, a world I’ve never even glimpsed, much less entered – neither in literature nor in life: a London where those most in need of help are those most often denied it . . . Matheson’s voice is exciting, urgent… and, now more than ever, vital’ A.J. Finn, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

n

‘This book is gruesomely good’ Lesley Kara, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Rumour and Who Did You Tell?

‘Crime fiction has a significant new star’ Sarah Hilary, author of Someone Else’s Skin

‘This modern and multi-layered take on the high-octane thriller keeps the pages turning’ Oprah Daily

‘So tense and dark. It has a real Silence of the Lambs vibe, and Peter Olivier is my new Hannibal Lecter. Brilliant' Lisa Hall, author of Between You and Me

‘Move over, Hannibal Lecter, there's a new serial killer on the block in this awesome debut from Nadine Matheson. The Jigsaw Man will have you in pieces. Literally’ David Jackson, author of The Resident

n

‘Buckle up, readers! From the first scene, Nadine Matheson takes us on a heart-pounding roller coaster ride. From the aftermath of a grizzly crime to the hunt for a mad genius, The Jigsaw Man will take your breath away again and again. In DI Henley, Matheson has given us a smart, modern heroine. I hope this is only the first of many adventures for her’ Tami Hoag, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Boy

So tense! The characters feel real - people with flaws and determination (both the investigators and criminals). Some of it is very gory and makes a difficult listen. But the story and the main characters make the blood baths worth wading through.
