A Place of Blood and Bone

Description

On the surface, John Slade appeared quite normal. But when Martin, a young biochemist, ran a behavioural experiment, he discovered a boy without inhibitions or moral qualms: the perfect subject for a series of experiments Martin had never dared try... Twenty years later, Brighton is facing a serial killer. DS Minter investigates the most bizarre and disturbing murder of his career; the dismembered body of a local woman dumped on a station platform. And when another body is found, Minter realises he is hunting a brutal killer with an IQ off the scale, the likes of which the city has never seen.

Mark Peterson is a significant new voice in British crime writing. A PLACE OF BLOOD AND BONE is the second novel in the Minter series. Mark worked in PR and as a teacher before embarking on his writing career. He now lives in Brighton with his wife and two children.

Brighton-based crime thriller that's grittier than sand between your teeth (...) Grips like a tourniquet. - RUTLAND TIMES
