In his first case as lead investigator with London's crack murder squad, Detective Inspector Jack Caffery is called on to investigate the murder of a young woman whose body has been discovered near the Millennium Dome in Greenwich, south-east London. Brutalized, mutilated beyond recognition, it's a sight that even a seasoned professional like Caffery has a hard time stomaching. The victim is soon joined by four others discovered in the same area--all female and all ritualistically murdered. And when the post-mortem examination reveals a gruesome signature connecting the victims, Caffery realizes exactly what he's dealing with--a dangerous sexual serial killer. As the use of cutting-edge forensic science draws Caffery ever closer to finding the murderer, he finds himself tormented by his own past, including the memory of a loved one whose death he might have prevented. Yet time is running out and Caffery must put aside his own demons in order to stop the Birdman before he strikes again. With Hayder's trademark blood-curdling precision, breakneck plotting, and abundant ingenuity, Birdman is sure to draw readers--both old and new--to Hayder's masterful body of work.
