The Last Commandment Zusammenfassung

The Last Commandment Scott Shepherd

A transatlantic serial killer thriller with a twist of Biblical proportions.

Christmas in London: a period of joy and togetherness. Not for Metropolitan Police Commander Austin Grant, though. Three dead bodies have turned up on his patch, and the only thing they have in common is a number carved into their foreheads.

With the victims including a professor of ancient mythology, a sculptor of curious idols, and lead vocalist of The Blasphemers. It seems the killer is meting out their own version of Biblical justice, punishing those who transgress the Ten Commandments. With seven commandments left, Grant puts the Met's best detectives on the case.

But soon enough, a fourth victim turns up. In New York City. It appears Grant has a transatlantic manhunt on his hands. Can he stop this terrifying zealot before they strike again?

The Last Commandment Bewertungen

'A serial killer novel with just the right amount of intensity, suspense and a clever murderer who always seems to be one step ahead of everybody else' * Bookreporter *
'A serial killer seems to be taking his cues from Agatha Christie and Ellery Queen... A fast-paced tale that weds its golden-age homage to some serious violence. Sinners beware' * Kirkus Reviews *
'Scott Shepherd is a marvelous storyteller, and The Last Commandment is further proof of his abilities. Smart, funny, and layered with a terrific sense of time and place, the story rockets from one twist to the next while always deepening the questions of family, trust, and the weight of old sins. A gem of a thriller, not to be missed' -- Michael Koryta

'A twisty, turny, globetrotting tale filled with mystery and suspense' -- F. Paul Wilson
'Ingeniously constructed and breathlessly told, The Last Commandment is Scott Shepherd at his gripping best' -- Charles Ardai
