John Verdon, the internationally bestselling author of "Think of a Number" and "Shut Your Eyes Tight", is making retired NYPD homicide detective, Dave Gurney, work harder than ever in "Let the Devil Sleep", his third mind-boggling puzzle masterpiece which will keep readers up all night. Ten years ago a serial killer went quiet - now he's back ...Dave Gurney, a retired NYPD homicide detective, agrees to meet a young woman making a documentary on The Good Shepherd. A decade ago a series of roadside shootings and a manifesto raging against the rich made The Good Shepherd killer headline news. But then the killings stopped, and nobody could say for sure why. Finding himself drawn back into the case, Gurney soon discovers new facts the original investigation missed. More troubling, it seems that someone is aware of his interest and they are not happy: a razor-sharp hunting arrow lands in his yard, and he narrowly escapes injury in a booby-trapped basement. Realising that this is one killer much too clever to ever be found, Gurney literally stakes his life on finding The Good Shepherd. He makes himself a target so that the killer will come for him...John Verdon's first two books were published to much critical acclaim and praise from fellow writers like Joseph Finder, Tess Gerritsen, Nelson DeMille, Faye Kellerman, John Katzenbach, Reginald Hill and David Baldacci. "Let the Devil Sleep" is all set to receive the same response worldwide. "The best thriller I've read in a long, long time". (Tess Gerritsen). "Wow! Totally absorbing, brilliantly written. The best book I've read this year". ("Sun"). "Astonishingly accomplished". ("Daily Mail"). "Brainy and well-written ...a remarkable debut". ("Sunday Times"). John Verdon, a former Manhattan advertising executive, lives with his wife on a small hilltop in upstate New York. His first two Dave Gurney novels are "Think of a Number" and "Shut Your Eyes Tight".
