'Once I was Dora Suarez, but even before I die I am not her any more; I have become something appalling...' Dora Suarez expected to die - by her own hand. She did not expect to be hacked to pieces by a perverted axe-wielding psychopath. She left no evidence of her thirty years of life, of her career in prostitution; no indication as to why she was going to kill herself-and nothing to identify her killer.

He's cold-blooded, a loner and a cynic, the only one who can solve the toughest cases. And this case is tough.

'Once I was Dora Suarez, but even before I die I am not her any more; I have become something appalling...' Dora Suarez expected to die - by her own hand.

The Detective Sergeant, officially removed for insubordination, is now back at the Department of Unexplained Deaths. He's cold-blooded, a loner and a cynic, the only one who can solve the toughest cases. And this case is tough. Next door to the bloodied remains of Dora Suarez lies the broken body of an 86-year-old widow, and a mile away the brains of a sleazy West End racketeer are found adorning the walls of his dining-room. The notebook of Dora Suarez is the only lead. The more he reads, the more obsessed the detective becomes; obsessed with the case and with the woman he knows too well but will never meet, the woman he might have loved and could have saved from her tragic life and appalling death. It is a death he must avenge by finding her killer-at whatever cost. Breaking all the rules, using the nastiest tactics, he cracks the case all right, but he may have shattered his own life in the process... / Was Dora Suarez is the fourth in the acclaimed 'Factory* series. It reaches new levels of brutal, atmospheric action - and Derek Raymond achieves new heights of compelling, evocative fiction. Vissza
