______________________
Nothing says Christmas like severed fingers
It's December and a serial killer is leaving body parts all over Cumbria.
Called in to investigate, the National Crime Agency's Washington Poe and Tilly Bradshaw are faced with a case that makes no sense. Why were the victims killed in such different ways? Why is their only suspect denying what they can irrefutably prove but admitting to things they weren't even aware of? And what could the cryptic message left at each scene - #BSC6 - possibly mean?
When a disgraced FBI agent gets in touch things take an even darker turn. Because she doesn't think Poe is dealing with a serial killer at all; she thinks he's dealing with someone far, far worse - a man who calls himself the Curator.
And if you think you know what's happening, you're exactly where he wants you to be...
*THE NEW THRILLER FROM THE WINNER OF THE CWA BEST CRIME NOVEL OF 2019 AWARD*

Praise for M. W. Craven:

'Pacy, gory and clever' Crime Monthly on The Curator

Unputdownable
Having read the first two books in Craven’s Washington-Poe-series in German, I just couldn’t wait for the translations of books three and four to be released. Craven once again starts off the case by describing a gruesome scene. He then switches focus and tells the story from Detective Sergeant Washington Poe’s point of view and in chronological order. The numerous chapters are short, the plot is fast paced and laced with riddles. Whenever Poe has solved one, there is an even bigger one waiting. The solution(s) deluded me but trying to figure everything out had me glued to the pages. Plus, it’s the details and of course the main characters that define the series and have me reaching for yet the next book whenever I have finished one. “The Curator” is for now my absolute favourite! PS: In case you hadn’t heard of the series yet, start with part one, “The Puppet Show”. Each case is solved by the end of a book, but the character development is best read from the beginning. Plus, there may be spoilers down the line.
