Final cut - Douglas Lindsay

Barney Thomson is back in the seventh and final episode of the crime series that has irrevocably redefined the barbershop death junky novel. Searching for answers to his tortured, murder-filled existence, Barney is drawn to take a job in London, as personal barber to Thomas Bethlehem, the head of an upcoming and trendy marketing agency. Such is Barney's fate, that just as he arrives in the capital, a serial killer by the name of Harlequin Sweetlips begins to run amok among the young, go-getting executives of Bethlehem's company. Suddenly, but entirely predictably, Barney is once again in the middle of a multiple murder investigation. As Satan returns to haunt Barney and to steer him down his final, inevitable path, could it be that Bethlehem's latest client, a wise-cracking New Englander with an easy smile and a handy ability with a thunderbolt, is the man to provide the deliverance that has eluded Barney Thomson for so long?
