Product Description An Odyssey of Murder is both brutal and shocking, and is sure to stun the reader in its gravest moments as it enters into the mind of a serial killer on the loose on a walking holiday in Britain. The magnificent scenery and the splendour of classical music merge in the psychopathic world of the protagonist. The author's descriptions of murder and the images of corpses are not overtly graphic, yet have a profound and lasting effect. The reader is instantly plunged into the story at the outset and finds himself on the Yorkshire moors, watching open-mouthed as the first murder takes place. The concluding stages, as the net tightens around the suspect, are similarly most unexpected and the narrative draws to a highly satisfactory conclusion. The psychological realism recalls the compulsive power of Truman Capote's In Cold Blood.
