Description:
'The rock cast a sharp, dark shadow over a shape huddled on the ground. Please dont let it be the boy, Colomba thought. Her silent prayer didnt go unanswered. The corpse belonged to the mother.'
When a woman is beheaded in a park outside Rome and her six-year-old son goes missing, the police unit assigned to the case sees an easy solution: they arrest the womans husband and await his confession. But the Chief of Romes Major Crimes unit doubts things are so simple. Secretly, he lures to the case two of Italys top analytical minds: Deputy Captain Colomba Caselli, a fierce, warrior-like detective still reeling from having survived a bloody catastrophe, and Dante Torre, a man who spent his childhood trapped inside a concrete silo. Fed through the gloved hand of a masked kidnapper who called himself 'The Father', Dante emerged from his ordeal with crippling claustrophobia but, also, with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and hyper-observant capacities.
All evidence suggests that 'The Father' is back and active after being dormant for decades. But when Colomba and Dante begin following the ever-more-bizarre trail of clues, they grasp that whats really going on is darker than they ever imagined.
What readers are saying about Kill the Father:
Kill The Father is absorbing, disturbing, clever, bizarre, original and brutal. The outline of the plot is simple, its execution thrilling The Times
This [debut] introduces us to two of the most intriguing detectives to have emerged in recent years&
