January 2013 Book of the Month and eBook of the Month.
This is a gritty, graphic, disturbing psychological thriller and it is very good. A girl is abducted and tortured in New York, another is found horribly mutilated and left in a dumpster in Miami seemingly unrelated; but a Miami policeman and attorney find a lead which hints at something altogether worse. Required reading for any fan of Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs or Karin Slaughter.
Detective Manny Alvarez knows the body of a murdered Florida student is only the beginning--his investigation soon reveals a terrifying trend in nightclub abductions.
Hotshot Assistant State Attorney Daria DeBianchi works the case too, hoping it will be the one that makes her career. It will--but for all the wrong reasons.
Their only lead, notorious serial killer William Bantling, claims they are looking for more than one murderer. However, in exchange for the truth, he wants off death row.
C.J. Townsend, the prosecutor who put Bantling behind bars, lives under a false identity and struggles to forget the horrors of her past. However, her new life--along with everyone else's--is about to be shattered....
