HANGMAN by Stephan Talty - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOKSee all titles by Stephan Talty.
New York Times bestselling author Stephan Talty’s acclaimed fiction debut, Black Irish,
won him comparisons to such thriller masters as Jo Nesbø, Karin
Slaughter, and Tana French. Now, his chilling new novel brings back
intrepid heroine Absalom Kearney, a driven police detective with a
haunted past, trying to make a difference in a troubled town.
Hangman, Hangman, what do you see? Four little girls, as cute as can be.
The eerie schoolyard chant still sends ripples of horror through North
Buffalo. Not so long ago, serial killer Marcus Flynn preyed upon the
community’s teenaged daughters—until he was cornered and shot in the
head. But Flynn lived, carrying to prison the nickname “Hangman,” along
with the secret of his last victim’s fate. Homicide cop Abbie Kearney
wasn’t around during Hangman’s reign of terror. She hadn’t yet come home
to wear her dad’s old badge in the tough Irish American stronghold
known as “the County.” Abbie had never experienced firsthand the horror
of Hangman. Until now.
Hangman, Hangman, where do they go? Down on the ground, where the daffodils grow.
A corrections officer lies dead, a prison van stands empty . . . and
somewhere out there, the monster who condemned innocents to death at the
end of a rope watches and waits to strike again. Abbie leads a
desperate manhunt through a city driven to its knees by fear, matching
wits with a predator as brilliant as he is elusive. But as more victims
are claimed, a rising tide of secrecy, paranoia, and politics forces her
to realize that stepping beyond the law may be the only way to find
justice. Because with each passing hour, the stakes grow higher—and
Hangman’s noose gets tighter.
