Games Of The Hangman

Games Of The Hangman

The Best Selling First Novel

What indeed? Hugo Fitzduane, former soldier and battle-scared war photographer, is no stranger to death. But to come upon it on his own land, a wet and windswept island off the west coast of Ireland, to discover young Rudi von Graffenlaub's body dangling by a rope from a gnarled oak here, chills Fitzduane to the core. There has to be a reason for this senseless waste of life and Fitzduane, driven by the memory of Rudi's still-warm corpse in his arms, is compelled to seek it out . . .

Switzerland is not a likely base for a terrorist, especially one as calculating and bloodthirsty as the man known as The Hangman. But The Hangman is obsessed not only by the exquisite pleasure of devising intricate death but by the bottom-line imperatives of his chosen profession. For him, international terrorism is a business whose only philosophy is profit.

Now The Hangman is planning his last and greatest coup. Those who stand in his way are already being eliminated - ingeniously cunningly, brutally. And into this maelstrom of destruction steps a doggedly curious Irishman, Hugo Fitzduane, following a trail of violence and perversion that is leading him, like poor Rudi von Graffenlaub directly into The Hangman's noose.

Laced with suspense, wit and sex, GAMES OF THE HANGMAN is a thundering epic of action and atmosphere, alive with vivid incident, memorable characters and fascinating techno-combat detail. It represents the arrival of a commanding new voice in thriller fiction.
