The Straw Men is a book about serial killers. It opens with a scene set in a small American town, where a duo of gunmen open fire in a busy McDonald's fast food franchise.

The remainder of the book jumps between two storylines. The first is a first person narrative piece telling us about Ward Hopkins, a young man going home to bury his parents after they suffered a car accident. He encounters a video tape in the family home that suggests that maybe they are still alive. Investigations are pursued with and things quickly spiral as they typically tend to do. A friend who happens to be a CIA operative is enlisted to provide someone to crack wise with.

The second strand is in conventional third person and concerns John Zandt, an ex-homicide detective who is persuaded to come out of early retirement since it appears that the psycho who abducted his daughter has found another victim.

We put a lot of time and care into our listings and photographs to provide you the information needed for a stress free purchase. You probably won't believe this but my husband spends almost an hour packing your order in the hope that if the mail decides to play football with your parcel, it will stand a few light kicks and is received in the condition described. For this reason we cannot accept any offers until after 2 weeks of listing. I hope you understand, Thanks for your time and interest
