What is Tatérka about?
During a Brighton tattoo convention, Marni Mullinsová discovers a body whose mutilation suggests an unusual and extremely violent offender. The police begin considering whether this is more than an isolated crime. Marni knows the tattoo community, its rules, and its people, but she also has secrets of her own and distrusts the police. When a young, newly promoted inspector approaches her, she must decide how far to involve herself in the investigation. Alison Belsham makes tattooing an integral part of the plot, combining it with the familiar structure of a hunt for a serial offender. Tatérka begins a series later continued by Inkoust and Balzamovač.
