The Throat: Peter Straub

Tim Underhill (Koko) has been summoned by John, a childhood friend, to his home town of Millhaven. After decades of silence it seems that the Blue Rose Killer has struck again - murdering John's wife. Assisted by amateur detective Tom Pasmore, Underhill is drawn into a morass of lies, deceit and shocking revelations that lead to the terrors of his own past - the mysterious events in the Vietnamese jungles; the killing of his young sister and the murders that rocked the city.
