Description
FOUR UNSOLVED MURDERS
In 1959, The Walker family murders shook Florida. At one time, 587 people were considered suspects - but 60 years later the investigation remains unsolved.
AN FBI AGENT'S FINAL JOB
Former FBI agent Brigid Quinn is trying to enjoy life after work. But when the intriguingly complex Walker case comes up, she's only too happy to postpone retirement for a little longer.
A LONG-FORGOTTEN KILLER
At first, Quinn is reluctant to draw comparisons with another high-profile investigation of the time: the Clutter family murders, made infamous in Capote's In Cold Blood. But the similarities are impossible to ignore, and she is convinced that Perry Smith and Dick Hickok, executed at the time, weren't acting alone - in both cases . . .

The book is stunning, best villain in a decade. The plot is mesmerising, with a narrative that shocks as it enthrals. Fantastic. * KEN BRUEN *More details
