'Lees' strikingly descriptive writing transports you directly to
the streets of Jakarta... this will make you want to book a flight
right now' Independent Taut and suspenseful, The Bone Ritual is the
first in a crime series set in contemporary Jakarta Inspektur Ruud
Pujasumarta has seen some gang-perpetrated horror crimes in his
time, but the slum murder of a middle-aged woman he is called to is
both horrifying and baffling. Mari Agnes Liem has not only been
choked to death while tied to her bed, but the murderer has
amputated her left hand and left a mah jong tile in her throat. And
he has taken the hand with him. The only bright spot on Ruud's
horizon is the imminent arrival of Imke Sneijder from Amsterdam,
whom he hasn't seen for fifteen years, when they were both
twelve-year-old neighbours before her family moved back to Holland.
As Ruud and his department investigate Mari's murder, it isn't long
before they have more than one corpse on their hands . . . and a
serial killer to catch. And Ruud begins to realise that the current
murderous spree may be linked to events which occured fifteen years
ago, at about the time Imke left Indonesia . . . 'Julian Lees' lush
use of language conjures up the extravagant and the seedy sides of
life in modern Jakarta and transports the reader to its steamy
slums and palaces, ratcheting up the tension through myriad false
trails, keeping the reader enthralled right up until the
denouement' Crime Fiction Fix
