''A highly enjoyable game of cat-and-mouse with perfect period texture and some nicely wry humour'' The Guardian
''This playful caper is equally successful as a detailed, culture-rich evocation of its period and an English reworking of Patricia Highsmith''s Ripley'' The Sunday Times
London, 1976.
In Belgravia in the heat of summer, Lee Jones, a faded and embittered rock star, is checking out a group of women through the heavy cigarette smoke in a crowded pub. He makes eye contact with one, and winks. After allowing glances to linger for a while longer, he finally moves towards her.
In that moment, his programme of terror - years in the making - has begun.
Months later, the first of the many chilling headlines to come appears: ''Police hunting winking killer.''
Meanwhile in France.
Charles Underhill, a wealthy Englishman living in Paris, has good reason to be interested in the activities of the so-called Winking Killer. With a past to hide and his future precarious, Charles is determined to discover the Winker''s identity.
In the overheating cities of London, Oxford, Paris and Nice, a game of cat and mouse develops, and catching someone''s eye becomes increasingly perilous. But if no one dares look, a killer can hide in plain sight . . .
From ''a master of historical crime fiction'' (The Guardian), The Winker is a gripping thriller that won''t let you look away.
