The Habit ~ Hardback ~ Richard Armour

This fast moving financial thriller based around City dealing rooms, bars and clubs, takes you on a hunt for a serial rapist who attacks his prey in a London Taxi. Roger Hamilton is a bond broker at Kaplan Stewart International where he runs the UK GILT desk. His best friend is Detective Sergeant Frank Henson who is investigating a series of rape cases in West London. They socialise on a regular basis, drinking in many of London's trendy bars and clubs. Frank soon discovers that all the rapes are linked and he begins the search for one of London's most prolific serial rapists of all time. He soon realises that the prime suspect is a London Taxi driver when three of the victims are raped in the back of one of London's famous black taxis. Roger is drawn into the fray when his sister, Penelope is brutally raped by her taxi driver whilst travelling home from Paddington Station. The rapist has an uncanny way of keeping a step ahead of the police and is determined to become the most famous serial rapist ever by beating Dan Crosby's record. He's even kind enough to document his work in the form of a wall collage in his flat, so that the police will have all the proof necessary. But he will only allow himself to be caught on his terms and when he's ready. Can Frank and Roger catch him before more innocent victims are scared for life? As their hunt brings them closer to their prey, neither of them can imagine the horrific truth they are about to discover.Author BiographyRichard Armour was a Stockbroker for sixteen years in London where he saw some huge changes, from the Big Bang and Crash of 1987 through to the recent development of electronic trading.
