When DI Anjelica Henley returned to active duty at the Serial Crime Unit she did not expect her first case to be similar to a previous case which resulted in the arrest and trial of Peter Oliver, known as the Jiigsaw Man. Oliver is serving a life sentence in prison so depositing a series of body parts in London has to be the work of a copycat killer.
The SCU is short of staff but Henley is not impressed when she realises that a trainee detective, Salim Ramouter, has been assigned to asist. However her team works well together when investigating the growing number of related crimes.
The Jigsaw Man The is the first novel written by English author, Nadine Matheson. As the plot unfolds the reader learns more about the back-story of the lives of the main characters, the stress incurred by police as a result of investigating crime as well as the original series of crimes perpetrated by Oliver. Who is the copycat killer? Why is someone copying the crimes committed by Oliver? How did they obtain information about the original series of crimes that was never revealed? There are many questions that Henley and her team strive to answer in order to stop the killing.
This is a gritty, detective novel often portraying the crimes in graphic detail. There is plenty of action and suspense until the end of the novel.
