Synopsis
Life is priceless - but death is worth even more. A blistering, high-concept novel from the new King of Crime.
Sarah Pepper is dead: killed by her boyfriend in a drunken rage. He's confessed, but can't remember exactly where he dumped her body. The police appeal to the public for help finding Sarah's remains. They're looking for a field with a wooden gate, an empty bottle of vodka by the roadside. She will be partly concealed beneath a hedge...
Shocked by the news, Alex Connor travels halfway round the world. He's coming home determined to say goodbye to Sarah, the friend who helped him through his darkest days. When he arrives, however, he finds only a mystery. The field has been located, but using the information provided by the police, someone else has got there first. Sarah's body has been taken.
On the other side of the country, a killer is preying on young women. When a girl called Rebecca Wingate vanishes, Detective Paul Kearney knows they only have a week to find her - before her body turns up, drained slowly and completely of blood. Kearney seemingly gets a break when a man is caught and confesses - but Rebecca 's body isn't where it should be...
In their hunt to find the living and the dead, Kearney and Alex are drawn together into a sinister world of death fetish and 'murderabilia', where relics and mementos of killers are traded, and life is only the first thing a victim will lose.

From Booklist
Alex Connor, who has lived abroad for three years, since his wife died, is propelled back home to England when he learns that a close friend has been murdered, and his own brother has confessed to the crime. Meanwhile, Paul Kearney, a homicide investigator, is working a series of murders in which women are abducted and drained of their blood. When it begins to look like these apparently unrelated crimes have a common denominator, the story gets a whole lot more complicated. Mosby piles on the questions until we begin to wonder whether he can possibly answer them all before the book screeches to a halt. He does but just barely. Not only does the author keep a lot of key information to himself until the last possible moment, he also reveals certain things to the reader before he lets his characters discover them. This puts the reader in the position of knowing more than either of the two lead characters, while still being utterly in the dark. British author Mosby is not well known on these shores, but this book might help to change that. --David Pitt
