From the streets of Amsterdam to the pastoral landscape of the British countryside, the scent of sex and violence is never far away.Slow Poison opens in Amsterdam just before the feast of Saint Nicholas in December in the mid 1980's.The brutal slaying of a British tourist and the subsequent arrest and imprisonment of a young football supporter sparks off an orgy of violence. But the killing is no random act. The boy is innocent. The real killer returns to England to begin the final chapter of an obsessive campaign of revenge spanning several decades.The twisted acts of violence and vengeance are punctuated by the pages of a stolen diary written in the dark days of the second world war. The killer identifies with the unspeakable horrors of the death camp as he coldly wreaks revenge for a series of traumatic events that took place in the mid 1950s on a Gloucestershire council estate.The story culminates in a bloody siege high in the snowbound Cotswold hills.This book contains very strong language and scenes of a sexual nature.
