Ce roman noir de Tom Piccirilli met en avant un héros original, Eddie Whitt. Ce dernier n'est pas un policier ou agent secret mais simplement un père, détruit psychologiquement par la mort de sa fille à l'âge de cinq ans et par l'internement de sa femme en hôpital psychiatrique à la suite de cet évènement terrible. Eddie n'aura de cesse de traquer le tueur en essayant de survivre à ce cataclysme. Le personnage d'Eddie, toujours à la limite d'une folie qui l'entoure et qui l'attire parfois, est terriblement bien décrit par l'auteur. Tellement bien que l'intrigue nous semble secondaire et sa conclusion un tantinet décevante. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Five years ago, Eddie Whitt's daughter Sarah became the victim of a serial killer known as Killjoy, and Whitt vowed to hunt him down--no matter what the cost. But the police have given up. And Killjoy has stopped killing...and in some bizarre act of repentance has begun kidnapping abused infants and leaving them with the parents of his original victims. The only clues to Killjoy's identity lie in a trail of taunting letters. And even as they lead Whitt to a deadly cult--and closer to his prey--he begins to suspect that, like his wife, he's losing his grip on reality: Sarah's dollhouse is filled with eerie activity, as if her murder never occurred. As dark forces rise around him, Whitt must choose--between believing that evil can repent...and stepping into a trap set by a killer who may know the only way to save Whitt's soul.

The Dead Letters follows Eddie Whitt as he refuses to let go of his daughter's death at the hands of a serial killer named Killjoy. Even when Killjoy changes his m.o. and starts delivering kidnapped babies from abusive homes to the parents of his murdered victims, Whitt won't let go. His life for the five years since his daughter was killed has been a pattern focused on finding and killing Killjoy. Something that makes him irrational enough to hurt himself in the process; his frustrations cause him to do things to calm down that had me cringe.
As readers, we experience that same frustration and desperation. We become involved with the weird cult family that has clues necessary for finding Killjoy. We hurt as Whitt's grief and pain bleeds off the pages. The book is something you will not want to put down. I'm not sure what else to say except go read it. Piccirilli is not someone to miss and this is novel is pure Piccirilli. ( )
