Summary
The author of The Silent Sleep of the Dying offers a chilling new mystery about a cold case involving twin brothers--one dying in prison convicted of being a serial killer, and the other still free and suspected by some of committing the crimes.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
At first there were five identical murders, the bodies eviscerated and the organs playfully distributed around. Beverly Wharton had been sure that the guilty man was Melkior Pendredâan autistic and highly skilled mortuary assistantâbut her colleague, Sergeant Homer, had always thought she had caught the wrong man and it was his twin, Martin, who was responsible. With Melkior dying in prison, a sixth, apparently identical murder gives Homerânow a chief inspectorâthe perfect chance to settle a few scores. Martin Pendred is arrested but then released on a technicality after the intervention of his solicitor, Helena Flemming. Then he disappears. Another murder occurs and the hunt for Martin Pendred becomes intense. Beverly Whartonâfearing for her career if it is shown Melkior Pendred was innocentâ calls on John Eisenmenger to help her. He had been the pathologist on the original murders and soon spots slight differences of technique between present and past murders. And when a fellow pathologist is murdered, Eisenmenger begins to guess what is going on. Then Helena disappears, kidnapped by Martin Pendred, and while Eisenmenger desperately searches for her he discovers the final piece of evidence that reveals just who is behind the latest murders.
