THE STRAW MEN
Straw Men Series
THE STRAW MEN (2002) - THE UPRIGHT MAN (2004) - BLOOD OF ANGELS (2005)
Who are they?
What do they want?
Why do they kill?
Can they be stopped?
You know who they are . . . if you've ever known fear.
In Palmerston, Pennsylvania, two men in long coats walk calmly into a crowded fast-food restaurant--then, slowly and methodically, gun down sixty-eight people. They take time to reload.
On the Promenade of Santa Monica, California, a teenage girl gives sightseeing tips to a distinguished English tourist. She won't be going home tonight.
In Dyersburg, Montana, a grief-stricken son tries to make sense of the accident that killed his parents--then finds a note stuffed in his father's favorite chair. It reads, "We're not dead."
Three seemingly unrelated events, these are the first signs of an unimaginable network of fear that will lead one unlikely hero to a chilling confrontation with The Straw Men. No one knows who they are--or why they kill. But they must be stopped. Michael Marshall's electrifying debut novel is an instant masterpiece of modern suspense. An epic thriller for anyone who has feared that someone is watching us.
"A new beginning for a major British writer, whose crime debut instantly moves him into the Thomas Harris division" (The Guardian) - "A masterpiece." - Stephen King - Berkley lead title August 2002, 400'000 copies first printing. - F: Laffont ($ 30'000); Romania: Humanitas;
