Inhaltsangabe:

<div>The acclaimed author of <i>The Devil of Nanking</i> returns with a riveting, disturbing thriller of religious fanatics, hoax debunkers, and the dark side of belief. Journalist Joe Oakes makes a living exposing supernatural hoaxes, but when he visits a secretive religious community on a remote Scottish island, everything he thought he knew is overturned.&#160;On the trial of a strange creature caught briefly on film, so deformed it can hardly be human, Oakes crosses a border of electrical fencing, toxin-filled oil drums, and pigs&#8217; skulls to infiltrate the territory of the groups&#8217; isolated founder, Malachi Dove. Their confrontation, and its violent aftermath, is so catastrophic that it forces Oakes to question the nature of evil&#151;and whether he might be responsible for the heinous crime about to unfold. Startling and uncompromising, <i>Pig Island</i> confirms Mo Hayder as one of the most talented, compelling thriller writers now working.</div>
