Pied
Piper. Soul Stealer. Serial Killer. Who is Mr
Clarinet? It was a job, Miami private investigator
Max Mingus found hard to refuse: $10 million to
locate billionaire's son Charlie Carver missing now
for over three years. Young Charlie disappeared on
the island of Haiti, where over the decades scores
of children have vanished. In a country dominated by
voodoo, rumours abound of black magic and a mythical
figure called "Mr Clarinet", who for years has been
tempting children away from their families. But
could the truth be even more shocking than the
legend? To find out, Max will have to succeed where
previous detectives have not only failed but where
some have died. And suddenly, this job isn't all
about finding Charlie or his killers for the money
it's just about staying alive.
Praise For Mr
Clarinet
Crimespree
'This is crime fiction at its zenith, challenging,
compelling and with an insight that delves deep
under the skin.'

Big Issue in the North,
January 23, 2006
'Painstakingly researched, effectively written and
well conceived, it deserves all of its pre-release
hype.'
The Guardian, January
21, 2006
'Gritty and unremittingly dark, replete with
supervillains, Mr Clarinet pays homage to pulp
fiction and film noir.'
Observer, January 22,
2006
'Brilliant . . . The Browser predicts that Mr
Clarinet will be spoken of in the same breath as
Graham Greene's The Comedians'
