A shockingly macabre art installation by an artist calling himself @nonymous left in Trafalgar square, a cafe full of millennials being stalked online by a patron and a newly promoted DI Grace Archer working in the very police station where she arrested ex DI Andy Rees and whose job she now has. This book throws everything at you straight away and never lets it’s pace slip for a second.
The art installation is three homeless men in formaldehyde and their deaths are also being viewed as part of the art show by video and online streaming with the promise of more to come.
DI Grace Archer teams up with DS Harry Quinn and with the help of a former colleague NCA analyst Klara Clark they are in a race against the clock to solve the case.
This has everything I love in a police procedural, frosty boss tick, disgruntled colleagues with an axe to grind tick and a very modern murder. After reading this I am definitely glad that I take a book rather than a laptop to a cafe. This also disturbingly shows what people consider entertainment and art and an artist/killer who uses murder to grab attention. It’s like rubber neckers at a car crash I suppose.
This is refreshingly up to date, unsettling, creepy and in my opinion one hell of a debut.
