A psychological serial-killer case opens the Carson Ryder series

Set during an Alabama heatwave, The Hundredth Man introduces Detective Carson Ryder through an investigation marked by mutilated bodies and messages written on victims’ skin. Ryder recognizes the pattern as serial violence rather than an isolated crime, drawing on his previous experience with psychopaths. That earlier work also forces him to confront assistance connected to a past he would prefer to leave behind. As further evidence emerges, the case brings its threat closer to the parts of Ryder’s life he most wants to protect. The novel establishes a recurring detective protagonist while combining procedural investigation with Ryder’s unresolved personal history.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers of psychological suspense involving serial-killer investigations
  • Fans of detective series centered on a recurring investigator
  • Adult thriller readers interested in cases with personal stakes for the detective

A darkly compelling serial-killer novel introducing the next big name in psychological thrillers and, in Carson Ryder, a fascinating and complex protagonist set for many books to come.

A body is found in the sweating heat of an Alabama night; headless, words inked on the skin. Detective Carson Ryder is good at this sort of thing - crazies and freaks. To his eyes it is no crime of passion, and when another mutilated victim turns up his suspicions are confirmed. This is not the work of a 'normal' murderer, but that of a serial killer, a psychopath.

Famous for solving a series of crimes the year before, Carson Ryder has experience with psychopaths. But he had help with that case - strange help, from a past Ryder is trying to forget.

Now he needs it again.

When the truth finally begins to dawn, it shines on an evil so twisted, so dangerous, it could destroy everything that he cares about...
