About this listen

This dark and disturbingly compelling thriller from bestselling and prize-winning author Mo Hayder is not for the faint-hearted. Perfect for fans of Stephen King, Stuart MacBride and Karin Slaughter, it is one story you won't be able to forget easily...

THE RITUAL HAS TO END. SOON.

Greenwich, south-east London: Detective Inspector Jack Caffery—young, driven, unshockable—is called to one of the most gruesome crime scenes he has ever seen. Five young women have been ritualistically murdered and dumped on wasteland near the Millennium Dome. Subsequent post-mortems reveal a singular, horrific signature linking the victims.

Soon Caffery realises that he is on the trail of that most dangerous offender: a serial killer. Beset by animosity within the police force, haunted by the memory of a very personal death long ago, Caffery employs every weapon forensic science can offer to hunt him down.

Because he knows that it is only a matter of time before this sadistic killer strikes again...

Critic reviews

'A first-class shocker . . . a frightening mix of forensics, thrills, analytical police work and poetic images.' Guardian

'Wickedly constructed . . . The detail, if you can stomach it, is fascinating.' Daily Telegraph

'Hayder's vibrant narrative and crunchy characterisation propel the book along to its denouement with fearsome velocity' The Times
