Boris Starling

    1 de enero de 1969

    Boris Starling crea emocionantes thrillers donde la muerte a menudo aparece de forma destacada, a veces incluso merecidamente. Su viaje literario comenzó con una temprana, aunque plagiada, muestra de talento narrativo que presagiaba su distintivo y a menudo violento estilo narrativo. Las novelas de Starling, publicadas bajo su propio nombre y un seudónimo, profundizan en los aspectos más oscuros de la naturaleza humana, construyendo consistentemente la tensión hacia conclusiones impactantes y a menudo brutales. Más allá de sus aclamadas novelas, también ha dejado su huella como guionista y creador de una exitosa franquicia televisiva.

    • A stunning, shocking, wonderfully well written debut reminiscent of James Patterson and one that will catapault Boris Starling to the front rank of thriller writers. London is in the grip of a heatwave: airless days, strange steamy nights and a killer stalking the streets. Wealthy men are being murdered to some mysterious pattern, with no clues left behind, only corpses with silver spoons in place of their tongues... Set against this merciless butcher is DCI Red Metcalfe, an investigator with a celebrated ability to get under the skin and into the minds of the deranged killers he hunts. But as the city swelters and the body count rises, Red's own tortured past begins to turn against him - and the city is safe for no one. Sometimes, it is said, it takes a killer to catch a killer... The most compelling and suspenseful British thriller to come along in years, and Boris Starling is a startling and powerful talent to watch. Messiah is guaranteed to haunt your dreams...
