Five Knives - D F Bailey

. .

Résumé :

One reporter.
Three dead.
Five knives.

Rookie crime reporter Will Finch is chasing the biggest story of his career.

When a man falls to his death from a high-rise apartment tower, it looks like a tragic accident--until Finch spots a flickering lamp from the eleventh floor. A silent signal for help.

Inside the apartment, he finds a woman handcuffed to a bedpost. Her terrified eyes tell him one thing--this was no accident.

As Finch digs deeper, he unearths a conspiracy linking the death to a sudden bankruptcy, a global stock fraud scheme, and a series of murders stretching from Baghdad to San Francisco. Is it the work of a serial killer, a copycat, or something even more sinister?

Then the bodies start piling up. Three more victims. Five knife wounds. And the killer is closing in.

Five Knives is the pulse-pounding prequel to the Will Finch mystery thriller series, a gripping thriller where every lead is a risk--and every truth comes at a deadly price.

Following his birth in Montreal, Don's family moved around North America from rural Ontario to New York City to Mississippi and New Jersey.
