A RITUAL KILLER POISED TO STRIKE AGAIN...
Hamburg: Two women are killed in the same horrific, ritualistic manner. It seems clear that a serial killer is at work, selecting victims at random and living out some twisted fantasy.
The murderer taunts the police with e-mails - but, as Jan Fabel and his murder team investigate further, nothing is clear cut or as it first seems. They are drawn into a dark half-world of Viking myth and legend, of obscure religious cults, of political intrigue and of a violent struggle to seize control of the city.
As Fabel desperately races to track down the killer before more killings take place, he and his team come face to face with a cold, brutal menace they could never have predicted.
A greater evil than they could ever have imagined.
This is a gruesomely gripping tale introducing German detective Jan Fabel, who is hunting a ritualistic murderer. Violently exciting - it had me hooked

—— Mo HayderKurkov flips from mock-tragedy to comedy and back again, planting the ominous and the absurd neatly among deadpan descriptions of a daily life in denial
—— The TimesKurkov received universal praise for his debut novel Death and the Penguin... Kurkov's latest is better
—— Time OutPacey and exhilarating
—— Laura Wilson , GuardianComplex thriller
—— Jane Jackman , IndependentI really enjoyed it and loved the central character of Detective Catrin Price and closed the book wanting to read more of her in future books.
—— Books and Writers blogThe narrative has a convincing air when dealing with Cardiff, the forensic background, rock music and, above all, pharmacological details.
—— Andrew Taylor , SpectatorAn author of consistently engaging and clever bestsellers, Kennedy has ranged from Stateside dramas to noirish thrillers. The Moment pulls together both strains in his fiction, marrying romantic tragedy with Le Carre-style espionage. The novel's set pieces are robustly staged and Kennedy turns the plot on its axis several times. The sadness at the heart of the novel is what makes it more than just an evocative recreation of an interesting time and place.
