El Hijo de la Asesina

SOME CRIMES FORGE BOUNDS STRONGER THAN BLOOD Summer 1993. A farmer and his wife are drawn and quartered by a vicious serial killer in the Fenland marshlands of eastern England. Thirty years later, terror returns to Lincolnshire. A woman is stabbed to death in the elegant kitchen of her home by the marshes. A young journalist named Daniel Kinder turns up at Fenland police station and confesses to the murder, which shares similarities with the crimes committed twenty years earlier by the notorious Blonde Butcher. After questioning him, Inspector Jackman and Sergeant Evans of the Criminal Investigation Department discover that, behind the facade of the tormented young man, a dark secret is hidden: Daniel suffers from a dissociative identity disorder that causes him memory lapses and is obsessed with the fact that Françoise Thayer, the Blonde Butcher, is his biological mother, instilling in himself the belief that crime is in his blood. However, with no evidence to hold him, the agents are forced to release him. On the hunt for the killer. Days later, Daniel disappears from the police radar and the lonely, misty Lincolnshire marshes become the scene of further bloody crime. In a breathtaking finale, the truth about Daniel's mother comes to light, and Detectives Jackman and Evans must act against the clock to prevent the violent destruction of more innocent lives. A GRIPPING THRILLER PACKED WITH UNEXPECTED TWISTS AND TURNS THAT EXPLORES THE INTRICACIES OF THE HUMAN MIND. THROUGH AN INTRICATE WEB OF SECRETS AND DECEPTION, JOY ELLIS REVEALS THE IMPACT OF CHILDHOOD TRAUMA AND DELVES INTO THE INDELIBLE SCARS THAT CAN SHAPE A PERSON'S ACTIONS.
