Beschreibung

"No one knew his name. People in these parts simply called him ‘Dr. Satanos’. He had the look of a kindly uncle. He was dressed in a white lab coat... splattered with specks of blood...”

A mysterious scientist is working on a groundbreaking medical procedure - with deadly consequences. When an elderly hairdresser finds a severed head in the middle of a coastal road, an extraordinary sequence of events begins... and a small town in Cornwall is plunged into a terrifying nightmare. Detective Chief Inspector John Sinclair works for Scotland Yard’s Special Division, an elite unit that deals with extraordinary cases. DCI Sinclair is a battle-hardened veteran of Afghanistan, a man haunted by the past. This time, Sinclair is in a race against the clock, trying to stop a gruesome killing spree...

+++ "A hero so suave and dashing, he makes James Bond look like a grubby detective sergeant, a plot that reads like it came straight from the great vaults of Hammer, and enough action and derring do to keep even the most ardent pulp fan smiling with glee.[...] A tight, punchy read that heralds the start of a great new series of pulp horror. Highly recommended." Ginger Nuts of Horror

Boston, Massachusetts, 4:12 a.m.

She would never forget the smell of burning flesh.

As a child, Maggie Haberling had many hopes for her future. She saw herself as a doctor or a great scientist.

But a murderer?

It was Garys fault, of course. If it hadnt been for Gary, the man would still be alive.

She had met Gary at a campus demonstration against animal cruelty. She was young, a mere twenty-two, studying biology at Harvard. That had been one of her dreams, too going to an Ivy League. Back in high school, she had worked very hard to achieve this dream, she had done everything right. First in her class, honor roll, you name it.

Her parents were middle class; they owned a small house in Pittsburgh, Ohio. Her dad was an electrician, a proud union man the IBEW Local 5 and a loyal Steelers fan, of course. Her mom was a nurse at Saint Clair Memorial. They had been so proud when the acceptance letter came in the mail. Their little Maggie was going to Harvard, can you believe it?
