Blackwood was never meant to bleed.
Tucked deep in pine covered silence, the town prided itself on peace, until that peace was gutted. Bodies begin to surface, grotesquely mutilated, each missing the same thing: a rib. The killer doesn't just take lives - they leave behind messages carved in bone, and a pattern only the disturbed could understand.
Enter Arthur Wulf - Blackwood's pride, top of his class at DACT (Division of Advanced Crime Tactics), a rising star with a mind for darkness with the highest score ever recorded in his entire course. But when someone he loves is torn from him and left as part of the killer's chilling list of mutilated victims, the line between justice and vengeance blurs.
Now the town that raised him is turning on itself, and Arthur is unraveling - haunted by dreams, hunted by suspicion, and driven by a need to uncover the truth, no matter how deep or bloody it runs.
What drives a killer to steal bones?
And why kill those who are good citizens?
Is there something else to these sinister murders?
Brace yourself for The Ribsnatcher - a visceral, psychological crime thriller where no one is innocent, and survival comes at a price.
