'Lees' strikingly descriptive writing transports you directly to
the streets of Jakarta... this will make you want to book a flight
right now' Independent A killer hides in plain sight on the crowded
streets of Jakarta . . . When a woman's scorched remains are
discovered in her burnt-out car, Ruud Pujasumarta and his team are
brought in to investigate what appears to be a routine homicide.
But when another woman's charred body is found a few days later,
Ruud also finds a banner unfurled by the corpse's feet. A verse
from the Quran is scribbled across it, calling for unbelievers to
be burned. Suspicions that the team have a religiously-motivated
serial killer on their hands seem to be confirmed when a third body
turns up with the same MO. But who is responsible? Is it the
Australian diplomat who was obsessed with the first victim? The
imam who preaches Sharia law? Or the military general taking
backhanders and living a life of luxury in Jakarta? Despite the
many possible suspects, Ruud is suspicious that the killer may
actually be someone much closer to home, someone he has trusted for
many years. What unravels next is a terrifying chain of events . .
. And what Ruud discovers puts his life, and the lives of those
around him, in danger. Praise for Julian Lees 'Lee's striking
descriptive writing transports you directly to the streets of
Jakarta' Irish Independent 'A darkly compelling tale of family
