Hyde Park, 1989. Dans le jardin solitaire et glacé, la statue médite, penchée, le poing sous le menton. Au fond de son oeil bleu, intense, une lueur de vie semble encore briller... Quand le sergent Chambers de la Metropolitan Police s'en rend compte, il est hélas trop tard : l'homme est mort, gelé, dans la position du Penseur de Rodin. Puis c'est au tour d'une mère et de son fils d'être retrouvés, dans les mêmes circonstances, tels l'ensemble de la Pietà de Michel-Ange...
Qui sème ainsi, dans Londres, cette parodie de musée macabre ?
Et jusqu'où ira cette vague d'assassinats, que leur auteur considère comme autant de chefs d'oeuvres ? -
Un « cadavre » recomposé à partir de six victimes démembrées et assemblées par des points de suture a été découvert par la police. La presse l'a aussitôt baptisé Ragdoll, la Poupée de Chiffon. Tout juste réintégré au Metropolitan Police Service de Londres, l'inspecteur « Wolf » Fawkes dirige l'enquête sur cette effroyable affaire, assisté par son ancienne coéquipière, l'inspectrice Baxter. Chaque minute compte, car ce nouveau serial killer vient de communiquer, par voie de presse, une liste de six noms. Son programme de meurtres pour les jours à venir. Avec le meilleur pour la fin : Wolf lui-même...

Sur les câbles métalliques qui soutiennent le pont de Brooklyn, à New York, une ombre est suspendue. Une poupée humaine. Un cadavre. À même sa poitrine nue, on a scarifié ce mot : « Appât ». Comme une mouche dans une toile d'araignée.
Promue inspecteur principal du Yard depuis l'affaire « Ragdoll », Emily Baxter reste perplexe. Devant les agents du FBI venus la consulter, elle peine à faire lien entre les deux affaires. Un vague copycat, peut-être ? Ou pire ? À cheval sur l'Atlantique, un marionnettiste d'un nouveau genre s'apprête à tirer les fils de l'horreur...

THE STANDALONE THRILLER FROM THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF RAGDOLL - SOON TO BE A MAJOR TV SERIES ''Clever, original and gripping'' Rachel Abbott ********** 1989 DS Benjamin Chambers and DC Adam Winter are on the trail of a twisted serial killer with a passion for recreating the world''s greatest works of art through the bodies of his victims. But after Chambers almost loses his life, the case goes cold - their killer lying dormant, his collection unfinished. 1996 Jordan Marshall has excelled within the Metropolitan Police Service, fuelled by a loss that defined her teenage years. Obsessed, she manages to obtain new evidence, convincing both Chambers and Winter to revisit the case. However, their resurrected investigation brings about a fresh reign of terror, the team treading a fine line between police officers and vigilantes in their pursuit of a monster far more dangerous and intelligent than any of them had anticipated... ********** Praise for Daniel Cole: ''A brilliant, breathless thriller'' M.J. Arlidge '' Superb thriller writing'' Peter Robinson ''A star is born. Killer plot. Killer pace'' Simon Toyne
