Mister Slaughter - Robert Mccammon

Descriere Mister Slaughter - Robert Mccammon

\n \nThe world of Colonial America comes vibrantly to life in this masterful historical thriller by Robert McCammon.\n \n \n\n \nNew York City. 1702. Matthew Corbett, an apprentice problem solver for the London-based Herrald Agency, accepts an unusual and hazardous commission. Together with his colleague, Hudson Greathouse, he agrees to escort the notorious mass murderer Tyranthus Slaughter from an asylum outside Philadelphia to the docks of New York. Along the way, Slaughter makes his captors a surprising - and extremely tempting - offer.\n \n \n\n \nTheir response to this offer sets in motion a series of astonishing, ultimately catastrophic events.Mister Slaughter is at once a classic portrait of an archetypal serial killer and an exquisitely detailed account of a fledgling nation still in the process of inventing itself. Suspenseful, illuminating, never less than compulsively readable, it is, by any measure, an extraordinary achievement, the largest accomplishment to date from one of our most gifted - and necessary - writers.\n \n \n\n
