Overview

A detective on the edge. A case that might take him over it... Jaap Rykel is on the brink, his dark past driving him to breaking point - and ending his police career. Visiting the station one last time, he stumbles across an investigation into a particularly violent murder. A murder where the details exactly match a case he solved years earlier. But that killer was caught - and is still in prison. Is there a copycat killer on the loose, playing games with Rykel's fragile mind? Or did he get it wrong, and send an innocent man to prison? Is this his last chance to make things right? Or is it the blow that finally takes him over the edge . . .

Utterly unputdownable * Sun * A strong sense of place is matched by a capacity for storytelling that keeps the plot accelerating * Daily Mail * Utterly enthralling . . . looks set to be one of the key sequences in modern crime fiction -- Barry Forshaw * Crimetime * Twisting, stylish and breathlessly paced. I struggled to put it down for a second -- Chris Whitaker, CWA Dagger-winning author of Tall Oaks This might be Jake Woodhouse's best yet. His Jaap Rykel series good from strength to strength and The Copycat embodies everything that's good about the Rykel books.
