Más información sobre el libro
In a gripping thriller, a sexual psychopath emerges among mercenaries as private security firms proliferate in war zones. When five women are brutally murdered in Sierra Leone, journalist Connie Burns questions the arrest of three rebel soldiers but is ignored. In a post-civil war environment where the rape and murder of women are overlooked, she suspects a foreigner—a man claiming to be an SAS operative and working as a bodyguard for a Lebanese diamond trader—might be behind the crimes. Connie recalls his past as a mercenary in Kinshasa and believes he exploits the chaos of war to fulfill sadistic fantasies against women. After enduring a harrowing experience in a Baghdad cellar, Connie goes into hiding in England, struggling to reclaim her former self. There, she forms a bond with Jess Derbyshire, a reclusive local who has distanced herself from the Dorset community. Finding strength in Jess, Connie decides to confront the serial killer once more, fully aware that he will come after her. The tension mounts as she navigates her fears and the dangerous path ahead, determined to seek justice despite the risks.
