"Spectacular." —Lee Child

"Relentless . . . a master storyteller." —Jeffery Deaver

Meet London police detective Max Wolfe. Insomniac. Dog lover. Coffee addict. Boxer. Single parent. And every murderer's worst nightmare.

A murdered is stalking London society—one skilled enough to kill with a single knife stroke, and bold enough to kill in public. As Max follows the bloody trail from the city's backstreets to the corridors of power, the victims appear to have nothing in common. But then he discovers that they all crossed paths decades ago at an exclusive private school. Suddenly, the murders look less random and more personal, and Max finds the killer's reach getting closer to everything—and everyone—he loves.

Award-winning journalist and international bestselling author Tony Parsons brings his talent for rich characterization and propulsive storytelling to The Murder Man, his stunning crime fiction debut.
