“First rate, compelling, nerve-tingling. A novel of sex, death, and the macabre. Extraordinarily vivid. A thinking man’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” —[The Vancouver Sun] 🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄 王立カナダ騎馬警察のスペシャル X チームを特集した犯罪スリラー シリーズの第 1 作。このチームは、最も凶悪な犯罪にも対処できるほどに鍛え上げられた、世慣れした警官たちです。
Criminal lawyer MICHAEL SLADE has acted in over one hundred murder cases. His specialty is the law of insanity. He argued the last death penalty case in Canada’s highest court.
Backed by his forensic experience, Slade’s Special X and Wyatt Rook thrillers fuse the genres of police and legal procedure, whodunit and impossible crime, suspense, history, and horror.
Slade was guest of honor at both the Bloody Words crime convention and the World Horror Convention. As Time Out puts it, “A thin line separates crime and horror, and in Michael Slade’s thrillers, the demarcation vanishes altogether.”
Slade was guest speaker at the international Police Leadership Conference and several RCMP regimental dinners. As Reader’s Digest puts it, “The Slade books have developed a strong following among police officers because of their strict adherence to proper police procedure.”
