Series: Picador Classic

With an introduction by Alan Moore.

It was always the same nightmare. Cross saw them lined up in rows, in stretches of city wasteland - those derelict spaces once described to him by a child as the blank bits where things had been before they'd got blown up.

In Belfast in 1985 a killer stalks the streets. It is a time and place ruled and divided by political and religious differences, but this series of crimes cuts across all those boundaries. Detective Inspector Cross, together with a young policewoman, must enter a maze of conspiracy, paranoia and tainted secrets in order to uncover the motives of the murderer. As the investigation draws closer to the truth, they find themselves in a nightmare world, with no hope of escape.

The Psalm Killer is Chris Petit's epic thriller set during the Irish Troubles. Masterfully written, disturbing and exciting, it is a book of immense intelligence and a real classic of its genre.

One of the most compelling, haunting and original thrillers I have ever read, by one of Britain's most visionary writers and film-makers. -- David Peace In the tradition of Silence of the Lambs ... a deeply satisfying and sophisticated thriller which approaches the Northern Ireland conflict with the intelligence it deserves Financial Times An example of the genre near its best.
