The Cleaner, the international bestseller and now a premium Sky Originals TV series, Dark City - The Cleaner, is a surprising and compelling novel that powerfully delves into the terrifyingly vivid mind of a serial killer.

"Paul Cleave is an automatic must-read for me." - LEE CHILD

Meet Joe. He's a nice guy out to catch a copycat killer. The one copying himself.

Joe is in control of everything in his simple life, including both his day job at the police department and his 'night work'. He remembers to feed his fish twice a day and visit his mother at least once a week, although he occasionally peppers her coffee with rat poison.

He is not bothered by the reports of The Christchurch Carver, who - they say - murdered seven women. Joe knows the carver has killed only six. He knows that for a fact. And Joe is going to find that copycat killer, punish him for the one murder and then frame him for the rest.

It's a perfect plan because he already knows he can outwit the police. All he has to do now is take care of all the women who keep getting in his way...

The Carver Series:
Book 1 - The Cleaner
Book 2 - Joe Victim

About the Author

Paul Cleave is an internationally bestselling author who is currently dividing his time between his home city of Christchurch, New Zealand, where all of his novels are set, and Europe, where none of his novels are set. He is the author of eight novels - The Cleaner, The Killing House, Cemetery Lake, Blood Men, Collecting Cooper , The Laughterhouse, Joe Victim and Five Minutes Alone - and his work has been translated into fifteen languages. He has won the Ngaio Marsh Award for best New Zealand crime novel, he won the Saint-Maur book festival's crime novel of the year in France, has been shortlisted for the Edgar Award and the Barry Award in the US, has been shortlisted for the Ned Kelly Award in Australia, and has hit the #1 spot on Amazon in three different countries. When he's not writing, he's trying to add to his list of nearly 30 countries where he's thrown his Frisbee.
