The Number Four

Four bodies, four random locations … who and where next?

A prominent public prosecutor is found savagely murdered. Her naked body is found with four fingers severed, a mark soldered on her chest, and vicious stab wounds. Inspector Alysha(Aly) from the Special Investigations Unit at the Federal Police Headquarters in Bukit Aman, alongside her partner, Inspector Raj, are put on the case. Aly suspects a gang killing at first but when more bodies appear with the same ‘signatures’, she fears that something more sinister is at play. She goes on to uncover a dark web of lies and lust, and finds herself on the trail of a sadistic serial killer who seems obsessed with the number four.

Book Review

“The Number Four, Rueben's debut thriller hits all the right notes. Murder? Check. Gruesome? Check. Gripping plot? Check. Interesting protagonist? Check. It's easy to see where the story is headed, but Rueben has nicely fleshed out the main characters to the point that it's hard to put down the book once you start reading it. The ingredients — gruesome murders, a disgruntled police officer with marital problems, bribery, prostitution, revenge — are enticing and Rueben tells a propulsive tale.”

“'The Number Four' is a fast-paced novel. The language is simple, easy to understand. Rueben has used right words at the right time. I couldn't keep the book off my hands until I finished it completely. There's a lot of curiosity and excitement to keep reading it. It is one of the best thriller novels I have ever read.”

“I am so glad I chanced upon this book and decided to buy it. It's an incredible crime thriller masterpiece and trust me, it's one of those books that is so hard to put down. You'll get so immersed in it, making you want to know what's going to happen next.. Hope to see more books from this author soon.”

“I enjoyed this book. I like the storyline: How one victim after another was found. How the characters/the scenes/the investigation process were not awkward at all, probably because the author has done his research thoroughly. My favourite parts/scenes were when the doctors were explaining the autopsy result/their theory about the cases, reminds me of a Kdrama - Partners for Justice! And of course! I love the characters, Aly & Raj, her investigation partner.”
