There were 54 victims before him. Who will be victim number 55? A thriller where the killer is always with you and the ending will make you gasp for air. Wilbrook is a sleepy town in the outback of Western Australia, bordered by miles of wilderness where no human foot has ever set foot. The town is home to Police Sergeant Chandler Jenkins, who proudly heads the small police station there. He mainly has to deal with domestic disputes and complaints about noise. Everything changes one hot day when an injured man walks into Chandler's station. He is covered in dried blood. His name is Gabriel. The man tells Chandler everything he remembers. He was drugged and driven to a cabin in the mountains, where his hands were chained. The name of the man who took him there was Heath. Heath told Gabriel that he would be number 55. His fifty-fifth victim. Heath is a serial killer. When the hunt for the murderer begins, a man named Heath ends up in the same station, claiming that someone named Gabriel took him prisoner. Gabriel had told Heath that he would be victim number 55. Gabriel is a serial killer. Two suspects. Two exactly the same stories. Which one is telling the truth? James Delargy has written one of the most exciting debut stories of 2019. He masterfully describes a remote Western Australian town and its inhabitants, all of whom are caught up in the hunt for a serial killer. A film is also being made based on the novel.
