In a time when technology links the law and the lawless, predators and prey can be one and the same...
He is an expert with the latest technology...a madman with the mind of a genius and the heart of a killer. He quietly stalks his prey. Then he haunts the police with cryptic riddles about the crimes he is about to commit—always solved moments too late to save his victims' lives.
Police lieutenant Eve Dallas found the first victim butchered in his own home. The second lost his life in a vacant luxury apartment. The two men had little in common. Both suffered unspeakable torture before their deaths. And both had ties to an ugly secret of ten years past—a secret shared by none other than Eve's new husband, Roarke.
My rating:
A madman is taunting Lieutenant Eve Dallas, providing riddles for her to solve and maybe save his next victim, all the while claiming he's doing God's work.
God's work that turns out to be nothing but revenge for something Eve's husband Roarke had done fifteen years ago...
Yet another gripping, intriguing and chilling mystery with a final twist that had me do a double-take.
Wonderful characters (although I must say I dislike Summerset with a passion), realistic relationships and interactions, a nicely twisted villain, and a mystery/suspense that delves deep into Roarke's past, providing some pretty intense scenes between the criminal-turned-entrepreneur and his cop wife. I loved the conflict between them, the struggle between loyalties...But in the end, we all (Summerset included) know just where those loyalties lie.
Gory, chilling, intense...Loved it.
