Synopsis
&“A harrowing tale of revenge. Hangman is a hardboiled police procedural . . . Readers come away not only entertained—and terrified—but also enlightened.&” —Cemetery Dance A woman is killed on Halloween night in Seattle. Death by hanging—as cruel and vicious as it was back in the days when it was employed as a means of justice. Only there is no justice in this murder. And it isn&’t the last one. Suddenly the police on both sides of the US–Canadian border are tracking a killer with a taste for the drama of the gallows. And just when the investigation zeroes in on a suspect, another corpse is discovered. The string of bizarre and brutal killings leaves a complex trail of clues—and a terror that only escalates with each killing. &“Master of the Northern Giallo! There are more than a few reasons to take the stand and scream the glories of literary demon Michael Slade.&” —Rue Morgue &“Hangman&’s escalating suspense is sustained not only by readers wondering &‘whodunit,&’ but who will be the next to die. Every character is both a suspect and a potential victim.&” —Quill & Quire &“Murder with gore galore, and a killer who enjoys his hobby. There&’s plenty of legerdemain before the trick ending.&” —The Globe and Mail (Toronto) &“Fascinating . . . The research on real-life hangmen is deftly larded into the fast-paced story.&” —The Vancouver Sun &“First-hand knowledge of the judicial system gives Slade&’s thrillers their authenticity.&” —North Shore News
