Max Wolfe is back-the two-fisted homicide detective with a small daughter and dog waiting for him at home and a crazed serial killer waiting for him somewhere out in the pitiless London streets.
On New Year's Day, a wealthy family is found slaughtered inside their exclusive gated community, their youngest child stolen away. The murder weapon-a gun used to stun cattle before they are butchered-leads Max to a dusty corner of Scotland Yard's Black Museum devoted to a mass murderer who, 30 years ago, was known as The Slaughter Man. But The Slaughter Man has done his time and is now old and dying. Is he really back in the killing game? And was the slaughter of a happy family a mindless killing spree, or a grotesque homage by a copycat killer, or a contract hit designed to frame a dying man? Max desperately needs to find the missing child and stop the killer before he destroys another innocent family-or finds his way to Detective Wolfe's own front door.
The Slaughter Man is another taut thriller from acclaimed international bestseller Tony Parsons.

Review
“[Tony Parsons] has decided to try his hand at crime fiction, and made an impressive job of it. The dry Parsons wit is certainly there in Detective Constable Max Wolfe ... Told with conviction, and at an ever accelerating pace, it is the first of a trilogy over the next three years.” ―The Daily Mail (UK)
“Combines Parsons' trademark feel for character with a knack for visceral details...Truly emotive crime writing is a rarity and The Murder Man looks set to win Parsons many new fans in the genre.” ―GQ (UK)
“Spectacular-tense but human, fast but authentic-maybe this is what Tony Parsons should have been doing all along.” ―Lee Child
“Sometimes, rarely, you know from the first chapter or so of a novel that you're in the hands of a master story teller. In the case of Tony Parsons' brilliant new thriller, The Murder Man, we know this within the first few pages. A relentless plot, evocative prose and compelling (and wrenching) portraits of the characters, good and evil, conspire to make this a must-read. And I have two words for hero Max Wolfe: More. Soon.” ―Jeffery Deaver

Absolutely too far fetched
By William Brown
I have forgotten how often Max was brutally attacked and was clear headed and lucid shortly thereafter. Nobody gets hit over the head with a champagne bottle without serious injury requiring medical attention.
As well, I cannot envision unarmed police officers going into a house not knowing what is facing them .
This book has more items for discussion than I can count.
I won't buy this author again.

Plotting D, characterization B. Disappointing compared to the first Max Wolfe book
By Maine Colonial
I was so impressed by Tony Parsons's first Max Wolfe novel last year (titled The Murder Man in the US and The Murder Bag in the UK) that I couldn't wait for the next one. I love Tony Parsons's writing style and his main character, but I had a lot of problems with the plot of The Slaughter Man.
When I began listening to the audiobook of The Slaughter Man, I smiled to hear, once again, Colin Mace's perfect voicing of the first-person narrative. The Detective Constable Max Wolfe character is such a good one. A copper who knows how bad the world can be but hasn't become completely cynical; a single father devoted to his little girl, Scout, and their Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Stan; a guy who loves boxing as the sweet science, not for its brutality. Refreshingly, Max Wolfe is an interesting guy without being an alcoholic or drug abuser.
As with The Murder Man, The Slaughter Man begins with a prologue that graphically describes a horrific crime. In the current book, the crime is the murder of the wealthy Wood family, including father, mother and two teenage children, and the abduction of their young son. The book's plot takes two paths: the solution of the murderers and the attempt to find the little boy, Bradley.
As a fan of police procedurals, this plot often made me crazy. I can't say too much without spoilers, but I can say that it depends way too much on the fact that several (yes, several!) of the characters don't tell what they know, and on the cops being just plain thick. There is some fundamental sloppiness in procedure, and on multiple occasions Max wades into danger without calling for backup, even though there is time. He escapes impossible situations and injuries that should have killed him or at least hospitalized him but, unbelievably, somehow he's on his feet and even boxing in nothing flat. Sheesh.
Again, I can't say much without spoilers, but almost nothing about the Bradley plot makes sense. On top of that, the direction that investigation takes Max is lurid and repulsive.
This was a real letdown after The Murder Man. I like the Max Wolfe character enough to give the next book a try, but I hope Parsons will do a much better job of plotting. I'm also hopeful he can go for a less sensationalistic murder plot, and one with less sexual violence.
In a comment below, I'm going to post some VERY spoiler-y notes about things that bothered me in the book. Don't read the comment if you don't want to read spoilers.

Stupid.
By Frank Blank
I agree pretty much with Maine Colonial's review, although am feeling less charitable. The investigation of the crime had two principal features: Max's stupid mistakes and Tony Parson's research. Neither were interesting, but I will say that Max paid for his mistakes. Over and over he gets the holy hell beat out of him, simply because he ignores normal, sensible police procedure.
This seems to be part of a larger pattern in Brit cop novels, and to a lesser degree ours. The books are more and more becoming torture porn directed at the cops. It's not that the cops get beat up; it's that they get the crap beat out of them again and again. It strikes me that something perverse formed in the relationship between British readers, writers and police, with the writers expressing total contempt for the cops presumably on behalf of the readers. And particularly odd about it is that it's totally ignored by the ad writers and promo persons. Of Slaughter Man it is said of Max Wolfe that he's a two fisted hero, but actually he's a reckless wimp; a punk. As are his fellow cops, who also take a beating.
So if anyone who happens to read this is familiar with the British zeitgeist and has any ideas about their near addiction to torture porn, please comment and lets talk about it.
I got this book for free from the library in return for an honest review.
