More About This Title Cry for Help

English

Haunted by his brother's murder when they were children and scarred by his parents' grief, Dave Lewis has built a bitter life working as a magician, running a cynical magazine that derides his parents' new age beliefs, and drowning his sorrows over his lost love, Tori. A promise he made to Tori got him into trouble before, but Dave's determined to move on and not let it happen again. Meanwhile, detective Sam Currie, another man with a past, feels that his failure to prevent his son's death ended his marriage and cast a shadow over his life and career. He's directed his hatred towards the one man he sees as responsible, but he has other priorities right now—a killer is stalking the city, abducting girls and sending texts and emails to their families before he kills them. When Dave Lewis appears to connect both investigations, it's an opportunity Currie can't resist.

English

"[A] powerful thriller."  —Publishers Weekly"Debut novelist Mosby has packed a complex, sometimes bewildering plot with brilliant ideas. His book is fiercely original, truly intriguing. This is speculative fiction at its reckless best."  —Literary Review"He writes like the very best American thriller writers—with great focus, excellent plot ideas, and a real feeling for exposing violence and cruelty. And, at the same time, he finds space for descriptive passages that enthrall and enlighten  . . . Cancel all other engagements for the day."  —The Guardian
