Overview
Step into the dark, twisty world of Daniel Cole's Ragdoll trilogy, following Detective William "Wolf" Fawkes and his former partner Detective Emily Baxter through three gripping serial-killer investigations. This paperback set gathers Ragdoll, Hangman, and Endgame, tracing one relentless story arc from a grisly London murder to a transatlantic manhunt and a shocking finale. Fast-paced, cinematic, and packed with jet-black humor, it's essential reading for fans of gritty police procedurals and mystery series.
About the Books
The trilogy opens with Ragdoll, in which a body assembled from the dismembered parts of six victims is discovered in a London flat, earning the press nickname that gives the book its title. Detective William "Wolf" Fawkes, recently reinstated to the Metropolitan Police, reunites with his sharp-tongued former partner Emily Baxter to hunt a killer who taunts police and media by publishing a list of future victims, and their own deadlines. Hangman raises the stakes, sending the investigation across the Atlantic after a body is found hanging from Brooklyn Bridge branded "BAIT," while a London copycat marked "PUPPET" pulls Baxter into an uneasy partnership with American federal agents. Endgame brings the trilogy to its explosive close, opening with the apparent suicide of a retired police officer in a locked room, a death Fawkes refuses to accept, unraveling secrets tied to the case that started it all. Across all three novels, Cole layers procedural detail with dark comedy and genuinely surprising twists, and the fractured but fiercely loyal partnership between Fawkes and Baxter gives the series real heart beneath the horror.
