A brief introduction to The Death Collector
Detective Parker's wife and daughter were killed, their faces severely mangled. The tragedy was sudden, and the investigation was deadlocked. Under the grief and anger, Parker quit the job alone to chase the murderer, vowed to avenge himself.
Parker gradually discovers that he is on the hunt for a serial killer known as "the Traveler." Travelers commit crimes in many places, taking the faces of their victims as collectibles in a bizarre way that leaves no trace.
In order to obtain the clues of the traveler, Parker takes over the investigation of a missing case, and various signs indicate that there is another hidden story behind the missing woman's life. But Parker did not think that he was about to fall into the ambush set by the traveler, and face the traveler's deformed collecting habit...
About the author
JohnConnolly
Irish master of mystery, born 1968, winner of five mystery fiction awards.
Connelly was born in a suburb of Dublin, Ireland, and loved reading and writing from an early age. He wanted to write for a living, but when he joined the Irish Times, he found that journalism could not satisfy his creative desire, so he began writing press releases by day and novels by night.
Compared with the clear and orderly world of traditional detective novels, Connelly is more interested in the chaotic and disorderly society of hard-core novels. To date, he has received several international reasoning awards: the POE Award, the Agatha Award, the Barry Award, and the Anthony Award.
After the publication of "The Death Collector" by the mainstream newspapers in Europe and the United States, won the Shams Award 2000 private detective debut award, the United States publisher for 1 million US dollars to buy the copyright.
