Book ID/图书代码： 05430007B12705

English Summary/英文概要： The body of a woman with her throat ripped out is found on Saddleworth Moor, near Manchester. She is discovered in an area where numerous sightings of a mysterious big black cat have been made.
When analysis shows the hairs caught under her nails are those of a panther, it’s assumed the animal has killed its first human victim. But then a man DI Spicer is investigating as part of an entirely different case is murdered in exactly the same way. Only this time the body is found in a secluded car park - a popular gay rendezvous far closer to the city centre.
Soon DI Spicer finds himself hunting a killer dubbed the Monster of the Moor, a creature whose stealth and savagery strike terror into the local population.

Awards/获奖情况：“Tense and atmospheric thriller…Simms weaves an ingenious and surprising thriller with a big twist in the tale.” Kate Bradley, Bookseller
“An atmospheric, psychologically astute and emotionally literate study of the nature of predator and prey, with an unexpected ending.” The Guardian
“What made this stand out for me was the plot line of political injustice that has one sympathising for the murderer, and it’s cynical view of police rivalry. I’m already looking forward to his next one.” Rodney Troubridge, Waterstone’s
“There’s a real depth to the story and the answer to the mystery is complex but very satisfying. There are some neat twists and not a few red herrings along the way. The clues were all there but I didn’t spot them at all and towards the end I simply couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to find out what happened next. Superb.” Sue Magee, The Bookbag
“Simms’ great talent, for me, is the way he can blend the domestic and the procedural, which gives the story a genuine sense of reality, while at the same time cracking out a thrilling page-turner. If you are a crime fan and have yet to read any of his work it comes with a big thumbs up from me.” Scott Pack
“An intricate plot is enhanced by good writing and human sympathy: highly recommended.” Literary Review
“Chris simms has never shown any reluctance to chill the blood of the reader, and that is very much on the cards here as the tension is screwed down ever tighter from chapter to chapter.” GOOD BOOK GUIDE
“Author Chris Simms is a cracking crime writer who has recently been announced by Waterstones as one of its 25 Authors for the Future. And rightly so. ****” PETERBOROUGH EVENIGN TELEGRAPH
