From Publishers Weekly

When American feminist Brigid Marsh is found hanging dead in Vancouver with her face flayed, local Mountie Nick Craven calls in Robert de Clerq, commander of Special X, an elite division of the Mounties tackling foreign crime in Canada. Marsh's murder has the hallmarks both of Satanic ritual and serial murder and, as other grisly deaths ensue, they eerily follow a pattern established in Jolly Roger , a new paperback thriller only on the verge of publication. As de Clerq uses the novel to trace the motivations of the group of killers back to the same demons that drove the original Jack the Ripper, a coven of mystery writers and an ex-police chief find members of their group being killed off as they try to solve the mystery on an isolated island. In his third thriller ( Headhunter ), Slade blends a classic murder mystery game with occult arcana to such an intricate degree that he may lose all but the most dedicated mystagogue. However, he does share trenchant insights into the way childhood sexual abuse and fantasy inform the development of psychopathic killers.

Book Description

JACK THE RIPPER IS DEAD, RIGHT?

DON'T BET YOUR LIFE ON IT!

Who would slash the body to shreds, then rip the face off America’s foremost feminist—and hang her out to die?

Who would take a pair of twin hookers on a terror trip that made death seem innocent and sweet?

Who would turn a secluded island gathering of bright and beautiful people into a carnival of carnage?

What grim and grisly figure stood, dripping knife in hand, at the end of the most horrifying trail of death and deception detectives Robert DeClercq and Zinc Chandler ever followed?

A lot of people were dying to find out...

4.0étoiles sur 5 BUT THE KITCHEN SINK, Juil 21 2001
Par Michael Butts (Martinsburg, WV USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Ce commentaire est de: Ripper (Paperback)
I gotta hand it to Michael Slade's "Ripper." There's enough plot lines and stories going on in this book, it could be two or three books in one! And one can't help but admire his blatant rip-off of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None." The whole thing on the island mystery murder trip is a novel in itself, and Slade pulls the stops out on the way he disposes of the writers who have come there. Ironically, the killer's identity follows very similarly the path of Ms. Christie's classic, so don't be too surprised when the identity is revealed. With that said, what can one say about a book that features not only this, but two gruesome serial killers, a devil cult that goes back many years, witches, sadism, bestiality, and some of the most descriptive gore and sexual perversion ever captured on ink. Whew! This book does demand a lot of bending the rules. Give it to Slade, though. It's good, and well developed. The characters of LeClerq, Craven and Zinc Chandler are exceptional. Of course, since this is a series, this thriller leaves some storylines unfinished, but hopefully they will be resolved in his next one. This is my first Slade; Some of his earlier works are very hard to acquire, but I do have the follow-ups to "Ripper" so I'm anxious to see if he maintains his bold approach to the genre.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The Best Slade Book yet, Mai 30 2000
Par J. Muse (Sacramento, CA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

Ce commentaire est de: Ripper (Paperback)
This was actually the first Slade book I read, and was really the greatest. If you like booby traps that kill people in unusual, and quite gruesome, ways, you will love this book. It's fast paced, except for some history background that will slow the story down a little bit. But a book could not be called a Slade book if it didn't have some interesting historical story to back it up with. A great read and will keep you on your toes til the very end.
