A fate worse than death…
DI Murphy and DS Rossi discover the body of known troublemaker Dean Hughes, dumped on the steps of St Mary’s Church in West Derby, Liverpool. His body is covered with the unmistakable marks of torture.
As they hunt for the killer, they discover a worrying pattern. Other teenagers, all young delinquents, have been disappearing without a trace.
Who is clearing the streets of Liverpool?
Where are the other missing boys being held?
And can Murphy and Rossi find them before they meet the same fate as Dean?
The second book from Luca Veste. His debut 'dead gone' was brilliant and we see the DI Murphy & DS Rossi return in this book. When a boys body is found near a churh the two detectives are thrown into what first looks like a gang-related murder. But slowly they begin to notice that other kids are being taken from the liverpool streets without a trace.
I loved this story, i love reading about Murphy & Rossi in this sequal. They're a great team and the little banter between them shows how close they work. This case is crazy, Luca really gives a lot of insight to the goings on in Liverpool.
It's probably very much a book that makes you think a lot. The thing is, we see kids on the street and we do think they're nothing but pains, no gooders and set for nothing in life. But what if thats not the case for all of them. Why do we blame their parents, when they are trying their best. Some children are beyond help but others, they just need to right guidance. This book makes you think, bout how judging a book by its cover is bad. You really don't know whats going on behind the sceens.
This book wasn't as creepy as the first, so i managed to get some sleep. It's addictive, you want to know who is hiding behind the masks and secret names. Who is tourting these boys, because, they only take boys. Why has this happened, what started it all off. It's all answered. The ending, its sad. It's probably the most heartbreaking of them all.
Luca Veste is certainly one to watch in the crime fiction!
