WALTERS, MINETTE. THE DEVIL'S FEATHER. 2005 WALTERS, MINETTE. THE DEVIL'S FEATHER. [London]: Macmillan, [2005]. First edition. 8vo. Signed. Fine in dust jacket. When five women are brutally murdered in Sierra Leone, Reuter's correspondent, Connie Burns, questions the arrest of three rebel soldiers for the crimes. No one listens. With little to go on, except her witnessing the savage attack of a prostitute, Connie believes a foreigner is responsible. A man who claims to work as a bodyguard for a Lebanese diamond trader. She remembers him from Kinshasa when he was a mercenary, and she suspects he uses the chaos of war to act out sadistic fantasies against women. Two years later, in Iraq, the consequences of her second attempt to expose him are devastating. Terrified and destroyed, she goes into hiding in England and strikes up a friendship with Jess Derbyshire, a loner whose reclusive nature has alienated her from the rest of the Dorset community. Seeing parallels between herself and Jess, Connie borrows from the other woman's strength and makes the decision to attempt a third unmasking of a serial killer knowing he will come looking for her.
