Cage of Bones: A Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, OverDrive Read)
An abandoned building. A dank cellar. And inside it, a cage of bones. A shocking thriller for fans of Karin Slaughter.
Into the house. Down the stairs. Through the dripping dark of the cellar. Someone is there. Someone that shouldn't be there. As a building awaits demolition, a horrifying discovery is made inside the basement: a cage made of human bones—with a terrified, feral child lurking within.
Unbeknownst to Detective Inspector Phil Brennan and psychologist Marina Esposito, they have disturbed a killer who has been operating undetected for thirty years. A killer who wants that boy back. But the cage of bones is also a box of secrets—secrets linking Brennan to the madman in their midst. With the death toll rising and the city reeling in terror, Brennan and Marina race to expose a predator more soullessly evil than any they've ever faced—and one who is hiding in plain sight.
If you're obsessed with the horrifying realism of Jeffery Deaver and the disturbing plot twists of Mo Hayder, you must read this "utterly terrifying, yet believable chiller" (Daily Mirror) by Tania Carver.

At the start of British author Carver’s pulse-pounding third novel featuring Det. Insp. Phil Brennan (after 2012’s The Creeper), laborers set to demolish an abandoned Colchester house, which is not “just derelict but desolate, collapsing under the weight of its own despair,” make a horrific discovery in the basement: a feral boy inside a cage of bones. Brennan, who’s with Essex Police’s Major Incident Squad, is disturbed to find strange symbols on the wall of the basement room as well as indications that whoever abused the boy had killed previous captives. Meanwhile, the Elders (known only as the Lawmaker, the Missionary, and the Teacher), who are somehow connected with the crime, seek to impede the police inquiry. In the end, Carver (the pseudonym of the husband-wife writing team of Martyn and Linda Waites) ensures that the plot twists all pay off handsomely with one surprising but logical revelation after another.

When a feral child is found caged in the basement of a building slated for demolition, Detective Inspector Phil Brennan (last seen in The Creeper, 2011) finds himself personally entwined in the case. Corrupt cops and connected con men abound, leading the reader on a complicated yet fascinating ride through the worst of what human beings can do to one another. But there is more going on here than just your average serial killerit seems there is an entire network of sociopaths who have been at work for decades, and Brennan is part of their history. Adopted as a child, Brennan had no recollection of his early lifeuntil this case starts giving him nightmares of a masked man keeping him in a cage of bones. At times the story verges on being too over-the-top to believe, but Carverwho has a knack for knowing just when and how to slow the story down for explanation, and when to pick it up for nail-biting suspensemanages to infuse enough realism into her characters and their surroundings to keep readers engaged to the end.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2013, American Library Association.)
