Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Neil Cross, the award winning creator of Luther, is at his best in this depiction of the Tattooed Man and his lewd, murky underworld. In the commonest sense of the term, Jon Bennet is the perfect employee: he is systematic, productive, and utterly reliable. He is also completely detached from the world around him, and seemingly feels nothing. For Jon's life is anything but common. Under the tight leash of the Tattooed Man, Jon kills and maims on order. And he's good at it. But Jon's days of favor are about to end.
