The Scarlet Tessera is a tour de force, a first rate British police procedural, a psychological study of criminal pathology and a fast paced thriller, rolled into one. It features one of the sickest, most sadistic and clever killer in crime fiction. It also has the most original plot I've read in a long time. It is a satisfying and enjoyable read for those who love the genre and have a strong stomach and nerves.
