Saints & Martyrs - Martin Penny

MURDER IN THE 90S...When newcomer to the Police Force PC Allison Cousins comes to the attention of a religiose serial killer, she’s forced to track him down. With the help of the ruthless giantess Jordan Lassiter, she follows his macabre trail of gut-wrenching clues, and tortured corpses. Can these intrepid young women, fast becoming close friends, find the monster before it’s too late?Martin Penny’s debut is a dark look at twisted acts of retribution, as his depraved killer employs sadistic patterns torn from medieval martyrdom's brutal past. Set in the Cool Britannia period, here is a refreshing return to good old police work and a time of relative good times. By turns shocking, horrific, and blackly comical, this is a crime fan's feast, and a new series and heroine to pursue.
