LoveMurder: A Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
When San Francisco Homicide detective Valerie Hart is called to a murder scene, the last thing she expects is for Katherine Glass to walk back into her life. Six years earlier, revulsion and fascination had gripped the nation in equal measure, as beautiful, intelligent, charming—and utterly evil—Katherine Glass had been convicted on six counts of Murder One. But the freshly-mutilated corpse in the ground-floor apartment bears all the hallmarks of Katherine's victims. And then there's the note, with its chilling implications. Addressed to Valerie.
To stop the slaughter, Valerie has no choice. She must ask Katherine Glass to help her decipher the killer's twisted message. But that means re-entering the pitch-black labyrinth that is Katherine's mind, and this time Valerie isn't so sure which one of them will survive.

Black’s riveting follow-up to 2015’s The Killing Lessons puts a fresh spin on the familiar scenario of a cop drawn into a game of cat and mouse by an imprisoned serial killer. San Francisco homicide detective Valerie Hart is called in to investigate a murder when a note addressed to Valerie is found taped to the victim’s body. Years earlier, Valerie put beautiful and brilliant Katherine Glass (“the most hated woman in America”) behind bars for a series of brutal videotaped murders. Now, Katherine’s still-at-large partner in crime demands that she be released, or the killings will continue. He leaves a series of elaborate clues that only Katherine can decipher, giving Valerie no choice but to engage with the alluring killer. Black (a pseudonym for writer Glen Duncan) explores themes of love and trust, and doesn’t shy away from Valerie’s complex emotional world. Sharp plotting and snappy dialogue propel the action to an exciting conclusion, though readers should be prepared for graphic violence, especially early on. 75,000 announced first printing. Agent: Jane Gelfman, Gelfman Schneider Literary Agency.

Starred review from May 15, 2017
A serial killer resurfaces after six years and targets victims connected in some way to the cop who captured his partner.Black (The Killing Lessons, 2015) is back with his sophomore effort under this name--as Glen Duncan, he spilled blood through werewolves and vampires (By Blood We Live, 2014, etc.). Also back is Valerie Hart, his tough, attractive San Francisco homicide detective. When she nabbed the "exquisitely beautiful" Katherine Glass, the killer's male partner remained at large. The couple had money, looks, and brains, which they used to play videotaped sex and sadism games with their victims before the torture ended in death. More games are afoot when a raped, mutilated, murdered woman is found with a note addressed to Valerie promising more victims while Katherine remains in prison. (Yes, she's wearing orange in the new Black!) Why her partner waited six years to spring her slowly becomes clear in otherwise mysterious one-page italic chapters. When a package of complex clues to the next victim arrives for Valerie, she is forced to seek Katherine's aid in solving them. As a psychological thriller, this one has the added touch of Valerie's prison interviews with Katherine, who feels an affinity with the cop, knows her lover, and constantly pokes into her mind. This Katherine's intellectual toying suggests Sharon Stone's Catherine in Basic Instinct. Black writes tension-release like a rock-ballad composer, with high-stress episodes suddenly visited by homely rumination. Much of the monstrous violence is offstage but not all, and the suggestions alone are strong enough. A surprisingly big clue is dropped early on, but it's not necessarily a spoiler and may even have been intentional in this crafty piece of plotting. Black is a clever fellow, not least in Katherine's mental acrobatics on the concept of evil. A high-grade thriller strong on character, police procedure, and page-flipping tension.COPYRIGHT(2017) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

When San Francisco Homicide detective Valerie Hart encounters a grisly scene recalling the work done by Katherine Glass, a murderer she managed to put away, she knows she must approach the evil Glass for help. From sharp and word-beautiful British author Glen Duncan, whose first Saul Black thriller, The Killing Lessons, got rave reviews.
