In this psychological thriller, Jake Cole returns to his childhood home after his elderly father nearly kills himself by setting himself on fire and plowing through a plate-glass window. Jake's father - a great American painter - is a man whose shadow Jake has tried to outrun since he was a boy.
Now a contractor for the FBI who possesses a unique gift for recreating crime scenes, Jake is pulled into a hauntingly familiar double homicide investigation. He recognizes the artistic signature in the slayings and realizes that he now must be after the same murderer who killed his mother when he was a child. Racing against time and a category five hurricane, Jake sets out in a race to find a monster who kills his victims in an exceptionally grisly fashion.

"I'm always happy to read a debut novel and actually enjoy it. This one is a little bloody so don't read it if you're squeamish. But the twists and turns kept me picking the book back up to read and the ending is a surprise so it's worth finishing." — Karen (4 out of 5 stars)

" Hypnotic thrill of a read. Just creepy enough to be perfect for a stormy night. "
" AMAZING psychological thriller. To compare across media - on par with The Sixth Sense. Wow. "
" Fab book. Scared the hell out of me. "
" One of the best books I have read. Could not put it down! "
" Awful twist. "
" Not for the faint of heart. . . But a very fine book. "
" I guess with such a graphic base, I thought the end was a bit lacking. Seemed to end so abruptly and neatly. I was expecting something to really surprise me...but it all just seemed a little obvious and convenient. Good read...interesting characters "
" Liked it, but left a lot unexplained. "
" I really like this book. There is a real twist in the end. For me, it was un-put-downable. Robert Pobi did a wonderful job on this book and I really appreciate his writing style. Highly recommend. "
" Profoundly disturbing. Pobi has a unique ability to creep out. "
" compelled to finish the book in spite of the gore and horror, but was satisfied with the ending. "
" Read 206 out of the 344 pages in one night! Couldn't put the darn thing down. "
" Awesome, powerful, not for the weak at heart. Everybody in this story, including the hurricane is important. This is a definite winner. "
" Interesting story but disturbing as well. "
" Wow. For a first novel? Double wow. "
" This book was completely effed-up. I really liked it. One or two plot holes, but still overall a great story with interesting characters and setting. Not for the faint-hearted. :) "
" Surprise ending, that I really wasn't prepared for ,and am not sure I liked. Great exciting read though. "
" Phenomenal story that will keep you captivated right to the last page........ "
" Great debut thriller. I immediately ordered his newest release. I love a good book that keeps me guessing! "
" This book began with promise - an odd FBI agent who creates (or paints) death scenes in his head in an attempt to solve murders. It is filled with graphic violence (not unusual) but it seemed to be disconnected from the conclusion. "
" This was a real surprise . A first novel that takes the reader on a most unexpected journey. The final 50 pages left me stunned with some unique twists and turns . Will read anything else this author writes. "
