The sixth child
The case of the Fourth Monkey Killer hurtles towards a conclusion you will never see coming.
“Father, forgive me.” These three words trigger long-suppressed, unpleasant memories for Detective Sam Porter. For Anson Bishop, however, they represent the only link between his childhood and the present. They are also the impetus for him to finally reveal the truth that has remained hidden for so many years.
The words have repeatedly appeared next to murder victims. It might seem like a clear indicator of a serial killer on the loose. But this would only be the case if the victims hadn't been found mere minutes apart, yet in several distant locations.
When Anson Bishop, the prime suspect in the Fourth Monkey Killer case, walks into the Chicago police headquarters, chaos ensues. And no one yet suspects that Bishop is about to give a testimony that will not only turn the entire investigation on its head but also change the lives of everyone involved.
The frantic pace of the narrative reveals the truth about the Fourth Monkey's unsuspected motive, and the entire trilogy thus hurtles towards a conclusion that can, without any exaggeration, be described as utterly unexpected and shocking.
J. D. Barker
J. D. Barker isn't one of those authors who dreamt of becoming a writer since childhood. His early work was published in his secondary school magazine, but it stood out so far above the average that he was approached with a job offer by the editor-in-chief of 25th Parallel magazine. Barker spent several turbulent years on the editorial staff there with a man who would later become famous as Marilyn Manson. Alongside his journalism, Barker also began writing books. He sent excerpts of his debut novel-in-progress to Stephen King and asked if he could use the name of one of his characters. Not only did King give his permission, but he also offered enthusiastic encouragement for Barker's future writing career. A whole series of international successes followed, the greatest of which to date is the book The Fourth Monkey. According to reviewers, Barker's trilogy featuring Detective Sam Porter has pushed the boundaries of the genre. In it, Barker has created a psychopathic killer who has something of the anti-heroes from The Silence of the Lambs or the film Seven; he is dark, terrifying, and fascinating.
