Nadine Matheson

A serial killer and his copycat are locked in a violent game of cat and mouse. Can DI Angelica Henley stop them before it's too late? On the day she returns to active duty with the Serial Crimes Unit, Detective Inspector Angelica Henley is called to a crime scene. Dismembered body parts from two victims have been found by the river. The modus operandi bears a striking resemblance to Peter Olivier, the notorious Jigsaw Killer, who has spent the past two years behind bars. When he learns that someone is co-opting his grisly signature--the arrangement of victims' limbs in puzzle-piece shapes--he decides to take matters into his own hands. As the body count rises, DI Angelica Henley is faced with an unspeakable new threat. Can she apprehend the copycat killer before Olivier finds a way to get to him first? Or will she herself become the next victim? Drawing on her experience as a criminal attorney, debut novelist Nadine Matheson delivers the page-turning crime novel of the year. Taut, vivid and addictively sinister, The Jigsaw Man will leave you breathless until the very last page.

While an innocent man sits behind bars, a serial killer with a gruesome signature has started killing again. And only Anjelica Henley can stop him. After twenty-five years behind bars, Andrew Kenan has just been exonerated.

Before Kenan can taste freedom, however, he is found dead in his prison cell. And Inspector Anjelica Henley, who worked the original investigation, is left in shock. Henley never thought she'd have to revisit one of the most horrifying cases of her career. But now, after evading justice for twenty-five years, the true killer is back, and so is their gruesome signature. Can Henley stop them once and for all? Or has the Serial Crimes Unit finally met its match? Drawing on her experiences as a criminal attorney, and exploring themes of race, class and justice, Nadine Matheson's newest entry in the Anjelica Henley series is her darkest, most adrenaline-fueled mystery yet.

???? De Telegraaf Hij zoekt je. Hij vindt je. Hij jaagt op je. Het menselijk lichaam is een prachtige puzzel, uniek in zijn precisie en zijn gecoördineerde perfectie! De Puzzelman houdt meer van puzzels dan van wat dan ook. Maar een perfecte puzzel is er een die is opgesplitst in zijn afzonderlijke delen. Dit is de enige manier waarop hij de ware schoonheid ziet, door elk onderdeel apart te bekijken. Handen, voeten, benen, armen, hoofden. En zoiets moois moet worden verspreid, toch? Het liefst overal in de stad... Word jij zijn volgende slachtoffer? Als er lichaamsdelen nabij de Theems worden gevonden in de Londense wijk Deptford, wordt inspecteur Anjelica Henley van de Serial Crime Unit op de zaak gezet. De aanwijzingen doen haar denken aan het werk van Peter Olivier, beter bekend als De Puzzelman, die een levenslange gevangenisstraf uitzit voor zijn daden. Zijn methode was gruwelijk. Hij deelde zijn slachtoffers op in stukken: hoofd, benen, armen, handen en voeten. Wanneer er korte tijd later een afgehakt hoofd bij inspecteur Henley wordt afgeleverd, realiseert ze zich dat de moordenaar zijn slachtoffers niet willekeurig uitkiest, maar er een persoonlijk spel van maakt. Om de waarheid te achterhalen moet Henley haar eigen demonen in de ogen kijken. En als Peter Olivier uit de gevangenis ontsnapt, zit ze achter twéé uiterst meedogenloze seriemoordenaars aan… Over De puzzelman 'Als je het boek dichtslaat is er nog maar een gedachte: wanneer verschijnt de volgende?' - ????
