Joe is in control of everything in his simple life - both his day job as a janitor for the police department and his 'night work.' He isn't bothered by the daily news reports of the Christchurch Carver, who, they say, has murdered seven women. Joe knows, though, that the Carver killed only six. He knows that for a fact, and he's determined to find the copycat. He'll punish him for the one, then frame him for the other six. All he needs now is to take care of all the women who keep getting in his way, including his overprotective mother. Then there's the mysterious Melissa, the only woman to have ever understood him, but whose fantasies of blackmail and torture don't have a place in Joe's investigation.

Ik vond latere werken van hem beter, maar het is een sterk debuut met een ongewoon plot.

Cleave's 2008 debut novel, "The Cleaner" is a perfect example of an exceptionally well-written (and dare I say delightful) black comedy, executed essentially by focussing razor-sharp inner-monologue and dialogue coupled with great timing and pacing. One can almost not help but to root for the serial killer,r, Joe Middleton, to succeed in his elaborate scheme to escape being caught. Joe Victim: A Novel (2013) is the second novel in the series
