Publisher Description
An addictive debut thriller starring a FBI consultant with a peculiar taste for crime and punishment…
A boy vanishes on his way home from school. His frantic mother receives a ransom call: pay or else. It’s only hours before the deadline, and the police have no leads. Enter Timothy Blake, an FBI consultant with a knack for solving impossible cases but whose expertise comes at a price. Every time he saves a life, he takes one, trying to satisfy an urge he fears he can only control for so long.
And this time Blake may have met his match. The kidnapper is more cunning and ruthless than any he’s faced before. And he’s been assigned a new partner within the Bureau: a woman linked to the past he’s so desperate to forget. Because he has a secret, one so dark he will do anything to keep it hidden.
For fans of Dexter and Hannibal, Hangman introduces a darkly mesmerizing character whose skill at finding criminals comes from a knowledge that can only be learned firsthand.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Eat your heart out, Hannibal Lecter: There’s a creepy new crime solver on the case in YA author Jack Heath’s first thriller for grown-ups. When the Houston FBI office runs out of options in the investigation of a 14-year-old boy’s kidnapping, they call in Timothy Blake, a sociopathic genius with a knack for solving—and committing—challenging crimes. Voice actor Christopher Ragland gives Heath’s warped (but oddly likable) narrator a wry Texas drawl that fits this darkly funny crime romp like a glove. If you loved Dexter and Killing Eve, Timothy Blake just might become your new favorite antihero.
