The Proverb Killer
Every proverb holds a truth… and a death sentence.
“A gripping psychological thriller that weaves in the use of proverbs for a compelling read. Graham uses his psychology expertise to give real depth to the personalities of the serial killer and central characters, keeping you guessing until the last page.” ~ Kathryn McEwen, Psychologist and author
Across London, people are dying in meticulously staged murders. A throat closed with nine precise stitches. A body left with a message about worms.
A powerful man whose pride ends in a very long fall. Each victim has been chosen for a reason, each death turning a familiar proverb into a macabre punishment in the killer’s pursuit of justice.
Detective Piete Joubert is searching for the connection between the victims when psychiatrist Jim Creswell becomes increasingly drawn into the investigation. As the killings continue and the pattern begins to emerge, the clues lead ever closer to someone hiding in plain sight.
Spanning decades of obsession, betrayal and carefully calculated revenge, The Proverb Killer is a psychological crime thriller in which every murder has a meaning and every clue brings Joubert closer to a disturbing truth. After all, he who laughs last, laughs best.
