I Am Multitudes by Douglas Lindsay (DS Hutton #11)
English | 2023 | Mystery & Thriller
DS Hutton is back for one final time, in the nail-bitingly, terrifying climax to the series.
There is a vigilante in town, and accused criminals are being put to the sword. Were they just being chained to a floor and their stomachs split asunder, their deaths would be horrific enough. But before they are allowed to die, starving animals are unleashed upon them to grotesquely finish the job.
And what of Tom Hutton in amongst the carnage? Retirement is at hand, as a long, inglorious career nears an end. Replaced as a detective, consigned to while away his final few days doing paperwork in an unloved corner of the station, he forages through the remnants of his life, like a world-weary romantic poet staring bleakly into the vacuous abyss of his own existence.
However, this is DS Hutton, his name is on the tin, and he will not be left to wallow in the pre-retirement doldrums for long. An old nemesis is at hand, and soon enough the vigilante murders and Hutton’s life of ennui will come crashing into conflict.
There will be drunkeness.
There will be ridiculous amounts of s-3-x.
And there will be blood!
