Reviews
It is seldom one has to read a novel with a fist stuffed in one's mouth to contain the gasps of horror., "Mo Hayder knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat right up until the moment she pushes you off screaming." -- Peter Mergendahl, Briskly paced and fluid . . . The twist comes like a hammer blow right at the end, clever and unexpected.

Synopsis
The acclaimed author of The Devil of Nanking returns with a riveting, disturbing thriller of religious fanatics, hoax debunkers, and the dark side of belief. Journalist Joe Oakes makes a living exposing supernatural hoaxes, but when he visits a secretive religious community on a remote Scottish island, everything he thought he knew is overturned. On the trial of a strange creature caught briefly on film, so deformed it can hardly be human, Oakes crosses a border of electrical fencing, toxin-filled oil drums, and pigs' skulls to infiltrate the territory of the groups' isolated founder, Malachi Dove. Their confrontation, and its violent aftermath, is so catastrophic that it forces Oakes to question the nature of evil--and whether he might be responsible for the heinous crime about to unfold. Startling and uncompromising, Pig Island confirms Mo Hayder as one of the most talented, compelling thriller writers now working., The acclaimed author of "The Devil of Nanking" returns with a riveting, disturbing thriller of religious fanatics, hoax debunkers, and the dark side of belief. Startling and uncompromising, "Pig Island" confirms Hayder as a talented and compelling thriller writer., Vo Hayder's previous novel, The Devil of Nanking, was a dazzling, disturbing book that transcended the average thriller and confirmed her as one of that genre's most exciting talents. Now she delivers Pig Island, an equally astonishing, eerily fightening new work that broadens the scope of her dark vision. Journalist Joe Oakes makes a living exposing supernatural hoaxes. A born skeptic, from Bigfoot to the Loch Ness monster, he believes everything has a rational explanation. But when he visits a remote Scottish island, everything he thought he knew is overturned. Pig Island has been divided. On one side lives a secretive religious community where Oakes has been invited to stay; on the other, behind a high-voltage electric fence, toxin-filled oil drums, and a line of pigs' skulls, is where Malachi Dove, the community's founder and erstwhile leader, lives in total isolation. The warning is clear. But Oakes is on the trail of a strange creature caught briefly on film, a figure so deformed that it can hardly be human. Equipped with wire cutters and a camera, he goes beyond the skulls and into the valley where Dove lives and where the creature was last seen. The violent consequences of Oakes's transgression are so catastrophic that he is forced to question the nature of evil and to face a terrible reality: was he responsible for one of the bloodiest crimes Scotland has seen in years? And, worse, have his actions set into motion a killing machine that will stop at nothing? Pig Island is a riveting tale of fringe believers, dark secrets, and how skepticism can become its own sort of blind faith. It confirms Mo Hayder as one of the literary thriller's most talented, compelling writers., The acclaimed author of The Devil of Nanking returns with a riveting, disturbing thriller of religious fanatics, hoax debunkers, and the dark side of belief.
