Rebecca Philipson, who is researching mother blaming in crime fiction for her Creative Writing PhD, has just released her debut novel How to Get Away with Murder (Bantam).
The novel follows Denver Brady’s claim to be the most successful serial killer of our time – and that’s precisely why you’ve never heard of him. But with the publication of How to Get Away With Murder, his manual for aspiring serial killers, that’s about to change. When a copy of Denver's book is found at a crime scene, DI Samantha Hansen is given the job of tracking down the elusive author. As Denver and Sam’s stories unfold and converge, it becomes clear that there’s more to both than meets the eye. And once Denver’s book goes viral, the pressure to find and bring him to justice brings Sam to breaking point. But in this dark and twisted tale, who is hunting whom?
'Rebecca Philipson has turned the serial killer novel on its head. Clever and all too credible.' Val McDermid
