The race is on before more bodies are found. She’d hoped she’d never have to see his face again, but Henley knows Olivier might be the best chance they have at stopping the copycat killer. But when Olivier learns of the new murders, helping Henley is the last thing on his mind . . . Prior to writing her first novels, Nadine Matheson would write women’s fiction, as well as contribute to a science-fiction anthology. Following this she would go on to publish her debut novel ‘The Jigsaw Man’ in 2020, which would also be the first in the series of ‘Inspector Anjelica Henley’ thriller novels. After this she would follow it up in 2022 with the second book in the series titled ‘The Binding Room,’ and her debut has also been optioned for television, so there’s a lot more to come still. Body parts are discovered across the banks of the River Thames in Deptford, London, meaning DI Angelica Henley must investigate. Looking to find the killer, Henley questions the serial killer Peter Olivier, aka The Jigsaw Man, who is now serving life, as it appears to be copycat killings. Then a severed head arrives at the home of Henley, meaning she must deal with the fact that the killer has taken a personal interest in her. Will she be able to find them in time, can she stop them from killing again, and what will become of The Jigsaw Man?
Looking to investigate a murder involving a popular preacher taking place in his own church, Detective Anjelica Henley finds another victim tied up and tortured in the upstairs room. Barely alive, it appears that this may be a ritualistic torture, as Henley must not only find the link between the two crimes, but also deal with the media spotlight upon her. Then another body appears and now Henley must solve the case before it’s too late, and she ends up as the next tragic victim. Will she be able to solve the case in time, can she keep herself safe in the process, and what will she find in the Binding Room?
The modus operandi bears a striking resemblance to Peter Olivier, the notorious Jigsaw Killer, who has spent the past two years behind bars. When he learns that someone is co-opting his grisly signature—the arrangement of victims’ limbs in puzzle-piece shapes—he decides to take matters into his own hands. When bodies start washing up along the banks of the River Thames, DI Henley fears it is the work of Peter Olivier, the notorious Jigsaw Killer. But it can’t be him; Olivier is already behind bars, and Henley was the one who put him there. Authors and readers are GRIPPED by The Jigsaw Man : 'So tense and dark. It has a real Silence of the Lambs vibe, and Peter Olivier is my new Hannibal Lecter . Brilliant' Lisa Hall, author of Between You and Me The Jigsaw Man ranks amongst the very best debut thrillers – we’re talking top-ten territory here – I’ve read this past decade… It evokes, vibrantly and indelibly, a world I’ve never even glimpsed, much less entered – neither in literature nor in life… Matheson’s voice is exciting, urgent… and, now more than ever, vital’ A.J.

The deaths don't appear to be connected in any way until one particular death occurs and gets the Secretary of Defense's attention. He arranges for a task force to investigate.Algis Budrys criticized the story's "false basic premise", stating that although Niven implied that the story's premise could occur soon, despite widespread shortages terminally ill people's blood was not being extracted. He concluded that "Niven looks a little ridiculous this time ... [it] is neither good lecture nor good story". [1] What he searches for at the crime scene are not frinerprints, fibres or bloodstains - he looks for the 'mind trace' left behind by those responsible: the psychological characteristics that can help the police to identify and understand the nature of the perpetrator.
