What you're pre-ordering
One killer. Many suspects.
Lancaster, 1985. A slight push on a freezing quayside, and a death no one ever calls murder.
Harry Fisher, an interpreter, polyglot and man incapable of a white lie, decides that next time there will be an investigation. He studies the forensic science designed to catch killers, writes rules he must never break, and builds each killing so that the evidence points at another man.
From a feud between Lancaster neighbours to snowdrops in Witherslack Woods, from Moscow's gilded offices to the frozen shores of Lake Baikal, Experiments in Murder takes you inside the mind of a man who feels nothing. Until, dangerously, he begins to.
- Narrated by the killer himself, in a cold, candid and darkly funny voice
- A crime story told from the wrong side of the forensic evidence
- Written by an NHS Operating Department Practitioner of more than 25 years
- Builds to a cliffhanger finale
