The Killer Inside de Matthew Frank

The Killer Inside

Autor Matthew Frank
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 iul 2021

Ce te faci când ești obligat să aperi monstrul pe care ai jurat să-l închizi? Descoperim aici o miză psihologică devastatoare: detectivul Joseph Stark trebuie să garanteze siguranța lui Julian Sinclair, un ucigaș în serie a cărui condamnare a fost anulată dintr-o eroare procedurală. Tensiunea este insuportabilă. Sinclair este șarmant, manipulator și, în ochii poliției, indiscutabil vinovat. Totuși, când o nouă victimă apare în timp ce suspectul este imobilizat pe un pat de spital, certitudinile se sfărâmă. Suntem de părere că forța acestui roman polițist rezidă în dilema morală a protagoniștilor: au vânat omul greșit sau Sinclair este un maestru al păpușarilor? Imaginați-vă tensiunea din Hide From Evil: Dead Wrong Book 2 (A suspenseful serial killer thriller), mutată într-un decor de spital londonez, unde vânătorul devine pradă. Notăm cu interes evoluția personajului Joseph Stark, pe care cititorii l-au cunoscut ca veteran de război în If I Should Die. Dacă în debutul său, Matthew Frank explora trauma întoarcerii de pe front, aici mută accentul pe corupția sistemului judiciar și pe fragilitatea adevărului. Ritmul este sacadat, capitolele se succed ca niște rafale, iar atmosfera amintește de jocurile psihologice din I Know It Was You. The Killer Inside nu este doar un exercițiu de suspans, ci o analiză tăioasă a modului în care ura poate orbi chiar și cele mai antrenate minți.

Despre autor

Matthew Frank este un scriitor britanic recunoscut pentru abilitatea de a îmbina profunzimea literară cu suspansul comercial. A debutat spectaculos cu If I Should Die, volum care i-a adus prestigiosul premiu Waverton Good Read Award (2014-2015). Cu o formație academică solidă, fiind beneficiar al unor burse de creație din partea Virginia G. Piper Center și Illinois Arts Council, Frank aduce în genul thriller o precizie stilistică rară. Lucrările sale, de la ficțiune de suspans până la analize istorice precum Making Minorities History, demonstrează o preocupare constantă pentru meandrele psihologiei umane și impactul traumelor asupra comportamentului social.

Notă biografică

Matthew Frank lives in Kent with his wife and three young sons. Between family life and work as an architect he tries to squeeze in a bit of mountain biking, scuba diving and midnight writing.

Recenzii

A clever compelling spiderweb of a plot, weaving together the complex yet realistic minds of the underworld and the police.
Matthew Frank writes so well and in DC Joe Stark he has developed a complex hero, remote yet relatable, decent yet conflicted. Equally compelling is Stark's nemesis, the sinuous Julian Sinclair with his reptilian charm. Tense and twisty, with a rich cast of characters, The Killer Inside is completely gripping. I ignored children, a ringing phone, hunger, everything just to devour the last hundred pages.
The Killer Inside is a gripping, pacy read with a "one more chapter" compulsiveness.
Nail-bitingly tense plotting, with characters you can't help but root for, The Killer Inside is a standout addition to this compelling series
The Killer Inside is the definition of a page turner. Matthew Frank gives us cops torn by the prospect of protecting a killer who cheated justice. They know he has done it but proving it is another thing. Then another girl dies while their man is still in hospital. What if they had the wrong man all along? DC Stark is a terrific creation. The kind of character you want more from and soon please.
Seriously good . . . The Killer Inside is an excellent addition to a fine series, and Joe Stark is coming into his own as a fascinating and multi-layered character, as are the rest of the team. Matthew has written a tightly plotted thrilling page turner of a book
Matthew Frank is a master at juggling light and darkness. His Joseph Stark books explore the legacy of trauma and injury, while serving up satisfying plots with plenty of twists. In this latest, the stakes are horribly high for his hero who, beset by demons and danger, nevertheless acquits himself with courage and a fine line in dry wit.
Praise for Matthew Frank
A gripping murder story ... Frank brilliantly maintains a balance between the demands of a complex plot and his character's difficulty in returning to civilian life
Outstanding characterisation, passion, perfect dialogue and pinpoint plotting
Well researched and totally convincing
Joe Stark is such a terrific hero, full of flaws and compassion and the sort of quiet heroism that you rarely see these days, even in fiction. One of those books I want to bulk buy and press into the hands of everyone I know. The writing is top-notch, the action sequences are superlative, the characters crackle off the page and the dialogue whips and zings like bullets in the dust. Read it!
Detective Sergeant Fran Millhaven is just one of the best women copper characters you'll ever meet between the covers of a book . . . but Stark is the heart of this narrative. I am so looking forward to meeting him again . . . the moment Stark crosses over from soldier to CID detective is beautiful to behold. The action scenes, too, are terrific. Riveting
Skilfully plotted, with a great clarity of style

Julian Sinclair is a serial killer.

Charming, manipulative, deadly. He hunted girls for sport, and it's high time justice was served.

But when Sinclair's conviction is thrown out in court, DC Joseph Stark and DS Fran Millhaven are forced to protect the man they're sure is guilty from those who would rather see him pay in blood.

Then another girl dies.

And Sinclair can't have killed her from his hospital bed . . .

Is a killer lurking in someone they never suspected?

And have they had the wrong man all along?
