''Macabre and wry'' Telegraph

''Washington Poe is a brilliant creation, from one of the finest and most inventive crime writers of today'' Peter James

Are you sitting comfortably? Then I''ll begin . . .
Washington Poe has a story to tell.
And he needs you to listen.
You''ll hear how it started with the robber birds. Crows. Dozens of them. Enough for a murder . . .
He''ll tell you about a man who was tied to a tree and stoned to death, a man who had tattooed himself with a code so obscure, even the gifted analyst Tilly Bradshaw struggled to break it. He''ll tell you how the man''s murder was connected to a tragedy that happened fifteen years earlier when a young girl massacred her entire family.
And finally, he''ll tell you about the mercy chair. And why people would rather kill themselves than talk about it . . .
Poe hopes you''ve been paying attention. Because in this story, nothing is as it seems . . .
