Klappentext zu „Pinborough, S: Mayhem “
A new killer is stalking the streets of London's East End. Though newspapers have dubbed him 'the Torso Killer', this murderer's work is overshadowed by the hysteria surrounding Jack the Ripper's Whitechapel crimes. The victims are women too, but their dismembered bodies, wrapped in rags and tied up with string, are pulled out of the Thames - and the heads are missing. The murderer likes to keep them. MAYHEM is a masterwork of narrative suspense: a supernatural thriller set in a shadowy, gaslit London, where monsters stalk the cobbled streets and hide in plain sight.

Rezension zu „Pinborough, S: Mayhem “
'A huge amount of horrible fun' Big Issue. 'A compulsively readable story that starts as a conventional murder mystery and morphs, by degrees, into a horrifying supernatural thriller' Guardian. 'The grim atmosphere of fear and spiritual malaise afflicting London is evoked well' SFX magazine. 'A bloody cracking thriller that sucks you in and spits you back out!' So Many Books, So Little Time. 'When writing a murder mystery/thriller, there is a fine line that one has to tread. Fortunately, Mayhem treads that fine line well' Starburst magazine. 'A brilliant supernatural horror novel, served by a sense of delicacy and understatement. Her handling of the period is superb' Spooky Reads. 'This is deliciously inventive stuff, delivered with the narrative nous and sense of atmosphere that lifts Mayhem above the raft of many similar novels' Crime Time. 'A very well-crafted chiller ... Pinborough successfully manoeuvres her story away from well-worn territory for a highly entertaining blend of crime procedural and Gothic horror' SciFi Now.
