Ragdoll (Muñeco de trapo), el aclamado debut de Daniel Cole, es pura adrenalina.

Un thriller taquicárdico. Vertiginoso.

Entretenimiento adictivo.

"Ragdoll, el muñeco de trapo" es el nombre con el que los medios sensacionalistas han bautizado al macabro hallazgo en un piso vacío de Londres. Cuelga del techo mediante unos hilos, apunta con un dedo hacia la ventana y está hecho con «retales» de seis personas, cosidos para formar un solo cuerpo del que solo han podido identificar la cabeza. ¿Quiénes eran las otras cinco víctimas? ¿Y por qué el dedo del Ragdoll señalaba hacia el apartamento de enfrente, donde vive el detective William Fawkes, alias Wolf?

Casi inmediatamente después del macabro hallazgo, el asesino hace llegar a la prensa una lista con sus seis próximas víctimas y el día en que las matará.

El detective y su equipo, presionados por sus superiores y acosados por la prensa, deben descubrir por qué fueron asesinados y que tienen en común para desenmascarar al culpable antes de que cumpla su amenaza.

Un malévolo juego del gato y el ratón con un asesino que desafía a la policía y un país entero que contiene el aliento. Y es que esa mente perversa siempre va un paso por delante.

Un peligroso desafío en el que es imposible no involucrarse.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

William Fawkes, a controversial detective known as The Wolf, has just been reinstated to his post after he was suspended for assaulting a vindicated suspect. Still under psychological evaluation, Fawkes returns to the force eager for a big case. When his former partner and friend, Detective Emily Baxter, calls him to a crime scene, he's sure this is it: the body is made of the dismembered parts of six victims, sewn together like a puppet--a corpse that becomes known as "The Ragdoll."

Fawkes is tasked with identifying the six victims, but that gets dicey when his reporter ex-wife anonymously receives photographs from the crime scene, along with a list of six names, and the dates on which the Ragdoll Killer plans to murder them.

The final name on the list is Fawkes.

Baxter and her trainee partner, Alex Edmunds, hone in on figuring out what links the victims together before the killer strikes again. But for Fawkes, seeing his name on the list sparks a dark memory, and he fears that the catalyst for these killings has more to do with him--and his past--than anyone realizes.

With a breakneck pace, a twisty plot, and a wicked sense of humor, Ragdoll announces the arrival of the hottest new brand in crime fiction.

But for Fawkes, seeing his name on the list sparks a dark memory, and he fears that the catalyst for these killings has more to do with him—and his past—than anyone realizes.
