AN EXTRAORDINARY KILLER HAS ARRIVED IN LONDON, HELL-BENT ON DESTRUCTION
Joel Sorrell, a bruised, bad-mouthed PI, is a sucker for missing person cases. And not just because he’s searching for his daughter, who vanished five years after his wife was murdered. Joel feels a kinship with the desperate and the damned. He feels, somehow, responsible. So when the mysterious Kara Geenan begs him to find her missing brother, Joel agrees. Then an attempt is made on his life, and Kara vanishes... A vicious serial killer is on the hunt, and as those close to Joel are sucked into his nightmare, he suspects that answers may lie in his own hellish past.
“Full of dark humor and even darker action" - Atomic Moo
"A gush of a novel, a blast of language" - Booklist
"Dust and Desire is a shining example of hard-boiled crime fiction–dark, gritty, compelling, and a little terrifying, right up until the end." - Mugglenet
"Because Conrad Williams has previously written horror fiction, his approach to thriller fiction feels fresh and satisfyingly gritty." - Rising Shadow
