Boris Starling

    1 janvier 1969

    Boris Starling crée des thrillers captivants où la mort apparaît souvent de manière saillante, parfois même méritée. Son parcours littéraire a commencé par une démonstration précoce, bien que plagiée, de talent narratif qui annonçait son style narratif distinctif et souvent violent. Les romans de Starling, publiés sous son propre nom et un pseudonyme, explorent les aspects les plus sombres de la nature humaine, construisant constamment la tension vers des conclusions percutantes et souvent brutales. Au-delà de ses romans acclamés, il s'est également fait un nom en tant que scénariste et créateur d'une franchise télévisuelle à succès.

    • A stunning, shocking, wonderfully well written debut reminiscent of James Patterson and one that will catapault Boris Starling to the front rank of thriller writers. London is in the grip of a heatwave: airless days, strange steamy nights and a killer stalking the streets. Wealthy men are being murdered to some mysterious pattern, with no clues left behind, only corpses with silver spoons in place of their tongues... Set against this merciless butcher is DCI Red Metcalfe, an investigator with a celebrated ability to get under the skin and into the minds of the deranged killers he hunts. But as the city swelters and the body count rises, Red's own tortured past begins to turn against him - and the city is safe for no one. Sometimes, it is said, it takes a killer to catch a killer... The most compelling and suspenseful British thriller to come along in years, and Boris Starling is a startling and powerful talent to watch. Messiah is guaranteed to haunt your dreams...
