{"product_id":"scaredy-cat-a-novel-9780066213002","title":"Scaredy Cat: A Novel","description":"\u003cp\u003eMark Billinghams Sleepyhead was called \"an exceptional debut\" by George Pelecanos  lauded for its \"strong ... display of macabre creativity\" by the New York Times  and singled out by USA Today as featuring \"some of the creepiest serial killers to be found between the pages of a book.\" Now Billingham returns with Scaredy Cat. It was a calculated  vicious murder. The killer selected his victim at Euston station  followed her home on the tube  and then strangled her to death in front of her child. At the same time the dead woman is found  a second body is discovered at the back of Kings Cross station -- killed in identical fashion. It is a grisly coincidence that eerily echoes the murders of two other women  both stabbed to death months before on the same day. Introduced in Sleepyhead  Detective Inspector Tom Thorne sees the link and comes to the horrifying conclusion that it is not one serial killer the police are up against: it is two of them. Now each time a body is found  Thorne must live with the knowledge that somewhere out there is a second victim  waiting to be discovered. But while the methods might be the same  the killers are very different -- one submissive and terrified  the other ruthless and in control. To stop them both  Thorne must catch a man whose need to manipulate is as great as his need to kill; a man who will threaten those closest to Thorne himself; a man who will show him that the ability to inspire terror is the deadliest weapon of all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45657923551285,"sku":"ByrdShop_0066213002","price":24.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780066213002.jpg?v=1782058871","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/scaredy-cat-a-novel-9780066213002","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
