The new novel from the author of Falling, Hidden and The Missing Hours; this is a gripping psychological thriller by a former police psychologist.
Emma Kavanagh was born and raised in South Wales. After graduating with a PhD in psychology from Cardiff University, she spent many years working as a police and military psychologist, training firearms officers, command staff and military personnel throughout the UK and Europe. She lives in South Wales with her husband and young sons.
The first body comes as a shock. The second brings horror. The
third signals the beginning of a nightmare... When fifteen-year-old
Isla Bell finds three bodies propped against Hadrian’s Wall, her
whole world falls apart. In such a close-knit community, everyone
knows the victims, and the man who did it.
Twenty years on and Isla has dedicated her life to forensic
psychology; studying the brains of serial killers, and even coming
face to face with the convicted murderer who turned her world
upside down. She is safe after all, with him behind bars.
Then another body appears against the Wall. And another.
As the nightmare returns and the body count rises, everyone in town
is a suspect.
Who is the Killer on the Wall?
*from the publisher's description*
The Killer on the Wall is several cuts above your usual
psychological thriller. It’s beautifully written, emotionally
involving and psychologically complex. You know you’re in the hands
of a writer who really understands her subject matter. The story is
skilfully told and so subtly nuanced, I gave up trying to guess
where it was going and let myself be swept along with it, totally
engrossed. And when the final twist came I said ‘oh my god’, and
then almost immediately ‘of course’. Classy atmospheric and
satisfying. Read it.
