Abstract: A serial killer holds New York in his grip.He does not choose his victims. Nor does he watch them die. But then there are too many of them for that.The explosion of a twenty-two storey building, followed by the casual discovery of a letter, lead the police to face up to a dreadful reality: some of New York's buildings were mined at the time of their construction. But which ones? And how many?A young female detective hiding her personal demons behind a tough appearance, and a former press photographer with a past he'd rather forget, and for which he still seeks forgiveness, are the only hope of stopping this psychopath.A man who does not even claim responsibility for his actions.A man who believes himself to be God.Praise for the Giorgio Faletti:‘In my neck of the woods, people like Faletti are called larger than life, living legends' - Jeffery Deaver.'Publishing sensation' Financial Times.I Kill is one of those bestsellers that proceeds at a cracking pace and presses all the right buttons with clinical efficiency.
