Antman

A gripping psychological thriller which keeps the reader guessing the identity of the murderer till the last pages. The Antman is the ultimate terroriser who chooses ants as a murder weapon and who must be stopped before one suspicious death becomes a killing spree.

Robert V Adams says:
'This book owes a lot to my longstanding interest in ants. The killing power of ants fascinates me and I've lived with the two antmen in this book – Graver the killer and Fortius the pursuer – for many years. Hopefully, whatever is grotesque and monstrous belongs exclusively to Graver. The dark side of the vast majority of us will never reach the extremes portrayed in this book. Those of us who from time to time venture into the experience of the murderer dip into that dark place only briefly as readers or viewers and return with relief to the light.'

'Creepy, crawly, and with a nice line in satiric humour underpinning the suspense'
Robert Barnard, chairman of Bronte Society and winner of Cartier Diamond Dagger Award 2003

'Extremely chilling'
Martin Edwards, leading crime fiction writer and editor

'a dark narrative that absorbs and terrifies in equal measure . . . a character with a terrifying yet unique method of murder. The descriptions of the victim's suffering at the hands of the army of ants is at times brutal and demanding, yet necessary as it creates an unsettling atmosphere that pervades the whole book . . . If you are looking for an original take on the serial killer novel, and enjoy a psychological thriller, then this is an absorbing read with engrossing characters'

'In an oversubscribed area of crime-fiction this is an inventive novel that will have you turning the pages expectantly to discover the identity of the Antman '
