He claims he does it to force the government to recognise the parts as real people, and give them a proper burial. But when the corpse goes missing, a wave of eerie murders sweeps across the city, and reports stream in of a horrendous-looking, flesh-eating monster that cannot be killed.

At first it's the guilty he attacks, but soon it's anyone who crosses his path... 'A remarkable book' ObserverWINNER OF THE KITSCHIES GOLDEN TENTACLE AWARDSHORTLISTED FOR THE ARTHUR C.
