With an unerring eye for detail, Jane Goodall recreates the exuberant energy but also the dark underbelly of London in the Swinging 60s.
Detective Briony Williams is a rookie appointed to an all-male team investigating a bizarre murder at an anatomy college in England. Her superiors constantly make her feel left out. But a killer obsessed with following Jack the Ripper soon changes that. The killer is a practised anatomist with a theatrical streak. He arranges his victim’s bodies in cruel parodies of famous satirical engravings by Hogarth. As the summer and the swinging 60s wind to a terrible climax, this multi-layered thriller brings the startling and terrible strands of the story together. The Walker is an unforgettable crime debut that heralds a major new voice in crime writing.
