The Fall of Tammy Davidson
Publisher: Luitingh-Sijthoff
Some stories can be deadly…
In The Fall of Tammy Davidson, the dark side of the human mind is exposed by master storyteller Lex Passchier
Puck suffers from depression that comes to a fateful climax during a camping vacation in the south of France. At the same time, detective Cees Vermunt delves into an intriguing murder case. He discovers that the fugitive perpetrator has been influenced by a short story that could prompt him to commit an even more heinous act. Cees approaches the writer for help and asks her to write a sequel. It forces the writer to go back to her story about Puck. What exactly happened there? Does the writer manage to get through to the killer and, in a race against time, prevent an attack? A phenomenally composed thriller about fact and fiction, in which the tension is virtuosically ratcheted up and both characters and storylines prove increasingly connected – and come together in a blistering finale.
