About the Book

Once she had been beautiful. Now she was eight days dead, her body slashed with more than fifty cuts. Janis Parker - young, successful and glamorous - had shared her modern Notting Hill apartment with flatmate Stephanie James. But now Janis is dead - and Stephanie has disappeared. Heading up the investigation, Detective Stella Mooney soon has her first suspect, in the shape of Mark Ross - Stephanie's boyfriend and Janis's secret lover . . . But then another body is discovered - slashed fifty times. Clearly these are no domestic killings. It seems Stella and her team are looking for that most dangerous of creatures: a killer who hunts to feed a terrible appetite. But the truth is they are up against something even more terrifying. . .

About the Author :
David Lawrence, in addition to being a talented novelist, is also an acclaimed poet and highly successful scriptwriter. The Dead Sit Round in a Ring was his first Detective Stella Mooney novel; Nothing Like the Night is the second. The author lives in southwest London and is hard at work on the next book in the series, which Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin's Minotaur will publish next year.

The plotting is slick and well paced, the writing smooth, and the characters, especially Mooney herself, are complex.
