Missing Pieces: John Maiden 1

by G.M. Hague

A terrified secretary finds a severed finger in an elevator. A week later, in another building, a hand is found – from a different victim. What will be next? An arm or a leg? Someone's head?

As Detective John Maiden confronts the mounting horror of the killings, he knows more lives are at stake, and not just those of the killer's next targets. The kidnapping of a young girl has raised the stakes even higher as her captor wants to get himself noticed – and the front pages of the newspapers are giving him nasty ideas.

An international bestseller, Missing Pieces is a chilling story of murder, revenge and vicious abduction.

[Ranjana · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best thrillers I’ve read this year. Enjoyed reading it the second time round after more than 15 years. It’s good to read a novel set in the nineties before the Internet and mainstream mobile technology was in use and restaurants hadn’t banned smoking. John Maiden as a cop doesn’t care much about rules and uses his own way to solve a case involving a series of grisly murders. It is well paced and well written.
