The Dead Tell
Lies by J. F. Kirwan
Greg Adams, a criminal psychologist at Scotland Yard, specialises in
bringing serial killers to justice. He tracks down a spree serial
killer nicknamed the Divine, who has already killed six
teenage girls and is about to kill a seventh. Greg works out the
location where he is hiding and joins a raid. The police capture the
Divine and save the girl, but on the very same night, Greg’s wife
is brutally murdered by another serial killer, known as the
Dreamer.
A year later, unable to bring the killer to justice, Greg has quit
his job and is ready to end it all, when he receives a phone call
from a man who tells him the Dreamer is dead, and that he didn’t
kill Greg’s wife, Kate.
Greg returns to Scotland Yard to work for Superintendent Chief
Detective Donaldson in the hope he can re-examine the case with the
help of two new detectives, Finch and Matthews.
As Greg delves into the case further, he becomes more convinced that
the Dreamer wasn’t the man responsible for his wife’s murder.
But if it wasn’t the Dreamer, who was it?
In order to solve the mystery around his wife’s murder, Greg is
going to have to delve even deeper into the mind of a terrifying
psychopath. And this time he might not make it back in one piece…
J. F. Kirwan is an insomniac who writes thrillers in the dead of
night. He is also a psychologist, and has drawn upon this expertise,
including being taught by a professor who examined serial killers for
Scotland Yard, to pen the crime/mystery/thriller The Dead Tell Lies
for Bloodhound Books. He wanted to shed light not only on the
darkness of serial killers, but of those who track them down, who
must inevitably step inside the serial killer’s worldview, and may
not come out clean afterwards. He is also the author of the Nadia
Laksheva thriller series for HarperCollins (66 Metres, 37 Hours and
88 North). His favourite authors include Lee Child, David Baldacci
and Jo Nesbo. He is married, and has a daughter and a new grandson,
and lives between Paris and London.
