Her third novel, ''Tokyo'', was published in May 2004 and was another ''Sunday Times'' bestseller. ''Tokyo'' was published as ''The Devil of Nanking'' in the United States in March 2005. ''Pig Island'' was her fourth best seller and was published in April 2006. ''Pig Island'' was nominated for both a Barry Award for Best British crime novel, and a CWA dagger. Her fifth book, ''Ritual'' was the first in The Walking Man series, and was nominated for CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger award. ''Skin'' is the second book in The Walking Man series, and was released in early 2009. ''Gone'', the third book in The Walking Man series, was released in February 2011; it won the Edgar Award for Best Novel. Her latest novel is ''Hanging Hill'', published 2011. Hayder left school at fifteen, and has worked as a barmaid, security guard, film-maker, hostess in a Tokyo club, educational administrator and a teacher of English as a foreign language. Hayder has an MA in film from The American University in Washington DC, and an MA in Creative Writing from Bath Spa University. Her debut novel, ''Birdman'', was published in 2000 to wide acclaim. Although some reviewers found the novel (which concerns a serial killer with a particularly vicious ''modus-operandi'') too violent and disturbing, the book became an international bestseller. ''Birdman'' introduced readers to DI Jack Caffery, a character who also featured in Hayder's second novel, ''The Treatment''. ''The Treatment'' tackled themes of paedophilia. DI Caffery returned in Hayder's most recent novels, ''Ritual'', ''Skin'' and ''Gone'', which she called the Walking Man series. Mo Hayder lives just outside Bath, England with her partner, Bob Randell (retired police sgt of Avon & Somerset Police Underwater Search Unit), and her daughter. == Bibliography == Featuring Jack Caffery *''Birdman'' (2000) *''The Treatment'' (2001) *''Ritual'' (2008) #1 Walking Man series.
