    In un'area industriale semi abbandonata della periferia londinese vengono scoperti i cadaveri di cinque donne mutilate e seviziate. Scattano immediatamente le indagini che vengono affidate al giovane ispettore Jack Caffery. Egli comprende all'istante che i delitti sono opera di un maniaco:le vittime sono state infatti sottoposte a procedure chirurgiche amatoriali per la riduzione del seno e sono state pettinate e truccate in modo da ricordare delle bambole. La morte tuttavia non è stata causata dalle orrende ferite, bensì da un'iniezione letale; inoltre il killer ha inserito nel petto delle vittime e cucito accanto al cuore un uccellino vivo, simbolo e firma del suo macabro operato.

    DI Jack Caffery, the hero of Mo Hayder’s bestselling novelsBirdmanandThe Treatment, is back. Seconded from London to Bristol, Caffery is trying to leave his personal life behind, but he cannot escape the memories of his younger brother’s murder and the suspect who went free. When police diver Sergeant Phoebe “Flea” Marley discovers a freshly severed human hand in Bristol’s harbour and its mate buried under a restaurant’s doorstep, Caffery is there to lead the investigation. But rather than find answers, or a body to match those hands, Caffery and Flea discover a terrifying underworld of drug addiction, ritual mutilation and muti, African medicine magic. Tormented by his personal demons, Caffery seeks out the company of the infamous Walking Man, a recently released convict from a high-security prison, who sleeps rough and walks the country roads as he relives the memories of a terrifying crime. Flea Marley has her own ghosts to confront—the cave-diving death of her parents in a cold, water-filled hole in South Africa—and a frightening personal association with the crime she and Caffery are investigating. Britain’s “Queen of Fear” has once again proven herself a master of her craft. Ritual is a gripping psychological thriller, a chilling story seen through the eyes of complex characters and told with masterful voice and style.
