Acts of Violence-------pan macmillan
This is Katrina’s story, and the story of her killer.
It is
also the story of Katrina’s neighbours, those who witnessed her murder
and did nothing: the terrified Vietnam draftee; the woman who thinks
she’s killed a child, and her husband who will risk everything for the
truth; the former soldier planning suicide and the man who saves him.
And others whose lives are touched by the crime: the elderly teacher
whose past is catching up with him; the amateur blackmailer who’s about
to find out just what sort of people he’s been threatening; the corrupt
cop who believes he is God’s ‘red right hand’.
Shocking and compassionate, angry and gripping, Acts of Violence is a sprawling, cinematic tour-de-force, a terrifying crime novel unlike any other.
