CONTINUATION OF THE BESTSELLER "THE WIFE OF THE EXECUTIONER".
Obsessed with paintings by a mysterious African artist, he brings them to life in his brutal murders. To catch the maniac, you have to understand the intricate meaning of these paintings...
Black tunics. Bandages tightly wrapped around the head, soaked through with blood. Fingernails cut off, hair shorn, on the skin traces of bleach.
That’s what the victims of a killer nicknamed the Hangman of the Crimson Lake look like...
A fanatic of a mad Kenyan artist, Sarpong, he makes real his bloody cycle “Night Creatures.” Nobody knows what meaning Sarpong put into his canvases—but the maniac clearly sees some idea in them. What idea?
To figure it out, prosecutor Jessica Yardley must seek help from her ex-husband—a serial killer awaiting execution. He not only knows the psychology of psychopaths—he is an artist himself.
But to do that is beyond her strength… Meanwhile, the killer prepares to “humanize” his next painting. The heroine of which might very well become Jessica herself...
