A Cologne detective asks Jan Fabel for his help in tracking down the Carnival Cannibal, a terrifying serial killer who kills at the start of the world-famous annual Carnival. Unknown to anyone, Fabel's deputy, Maria Klee, also heads for Cologne to hunt down a different, even more dangerous killer - one with whom she has a score to settle.

Taras Buslenko, a Ukrainian special-forces commander, prepares his undercover unit for a "black" operation into Cologne. Their aim: to end the rule of an ex-pat Ukrainian crime-boss. Three paths converging on Cologne at Carnival at a time when the world is traditionally turned on its head. Fabel once more faces his greatest enemy: the true Master of the Carnival.

Another good one from the always reliable Craig Russell. My only slight concern. If this is the first Jan Faben. Then you need to start at the first, I think you would find the back story hard to understand.

Another well researched book.

Once again Craig Russell does not fail to dissapoint. Following on from Blood Eagle it was good to get involved in previous story lines with the addition of a new case. Fast and Pacey.

As usual Sean Barrats Naration second to none.

FABULOUS

Great story

Over the series we have heard Jan getting into and out of so many tricky situations. This is no exception a multi layered plot with many twists and turns keeps you guessing until the end. As for the narrator, his voice has become a major part of the character of such writing. well done to all involved.

Another great story, nice twist.
