Birdman is the first novel in the Jack Caffery series by Mo Hayder.

Jack investigates the case of a murderer and predator with a particularly gruesome modus operandi.

Tropes:

  • Calling Card: The reason this particular unsub is known as "The Birdman" is because of their practice of sewing birds inside their victims.
  • Collective Identity: The Birdman is actually a pair of perpetrators.
  • I Love the Dead: The Birdman is noted to have violated the corpses of multiple victims.
  • Serial Killer: The Birdman has murdered multiple women over an extended period, and sewn dead birds in their corpses.
  • Serial Rapist: The Birdman has raped multiple women over an extended period, including after their deaths.
