Description

In this fascinatingly complex thriller, two people, each shattered by their past, team to solve a series of killings and abductions...
When a woman is beheaded in a park outside Rome and her six-year-old son goes missing, the police unit assigned to the case sees an easy solution: they arrest the woman’s husband and await his confession. But the Chief of Rome’s Major Crimes unit doubts things are so simple. Secretly, he lures to the case two of Italy’s top analytical minds: Deputy Captain Colomba Caselli, a fierce, warrior-like detective still reeling from having survived a bloody catastrophe, and Dante Torre, a man who spent his childhood trapped inside a concrete silo. Fed through the gloved hand of a masked kidnapper who called himself “The Father,” Dante emerged from his ordeal with crippling claustrophobia but, also, with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and hyper-observant capacities.
All evidence suggests that the Father is back and active after being dormant for decades. Indeed, he has left tell-tale signs that signal he’s looking forward to a reunion with Dante. But when Columba and Dante begin following the ever-more-bizarre trail of clues, they grasp that what’s really going on is darker than they ever imagined.

'Kill the Father' is a complex and frightening book filled with a cast of intriguing characters. It is a story about abduction and murder. An escaped kidnap victim with a fear of closed-in spaces teams up with a feisty and unconventional police woman to hunt down the perpetrators of multiple crimes. Snippets of past events are cleverly introduced into the story and later given significance when, after a number of surprising twists, everything comes together in a nail-biting conclusion. Highly recommend. Thanks to Simon and Schuster Australia and NetGalley for the ARC.
