"Mo Hayder, who writes dark, perfect thrillers . . . now spins a
shivery tale about a cult on the west coast of Scotland, where the
weather nourishes bleak menace."--Sherryl Connelly, New York Daily
News "Another astonishing mutation of the crime thriller . . . [Pig
Island] masterfully exposes not only the horror but also the human
frailty at the story's core."--Anna Mundow, The Boston Globe From
Edgar Award winner and internationally bestselling author Mo
Hayder, Pig Island is a riveting, disturbing thriller of religious
fanatics, hoax debunkers, and the dark side of belief. Journalist
Joe Oakes makes a living exposing supernatural hoaxes, but when he
visits a secretive religious cult on a remote Scottish island,
everything he thought he knew is overturned. While investigating a
strange apparition caught briefly on film wandering the lonely
beaches of Pig Island, so deformed it can hardly be human, Oakes
crosses a border of electrical fencing, toxin-filled oil drums, and
pigs' skulls to infiltrate the territory of the group's isolated
founder, Malachi Dove. The violent consequences of Oakes's
transgression are so catastrophic that it forces him to question
the nature of evil and to face a terrible reality: was Dove
responsible for one of the bloodiest crimes Scotland has seen in
years? And, worse, have his actions set into motion a killing
machine that will stop at nothing? "A novel that taps into the
current fascination with all things supernatural and questions our
assumptions about a number of subjects, from faith healing to
cultish religious groups and society's definition of
evil."--Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review "Mo Hayder
has a profound ability to shock and surprise her readers, and Pig
Island surpasses anything she has written before. She's the bravest
writer I know."--Karin Slaughter, author of Cop Town
