Frank Quinn, the relentless detective who made his debut in John Lutz’s acclaimed thriller Darker Than Night, faces his toughest –and most personal–case yet . . . An invitation written in blood . . . A madman is stalking women in the city. By the time his victims are found, they’ve been dismembered with careful precision, their limbs stacked into a gruesome pyramid and completely cleansed of every last drop of blood. To catch a killer–or die next . . . Accustomed to working on the most grisly homicides, detective Frank Quinn’s nerves don’t rattle easily. But when the last names of the killer’s victims spell out “Q-u-i-n-n,” the veteran cop feels a chill run down his spine. Then a fresh victim is linked to the one woman Quinn can’t stop desiring. Hunting down killers is what Quinn does best. But this time, Quinn is up against a psychopath that will test him as never before . . .

"One cool book. Lutz is now on my list of authors to read. This was my first book from him and it was great. Get on the train and hold on because this book will take you for a ride. Harlan Coben said Lutz is a hell of an author and I agree with him. I encourage you to read this book."
— Davin (5 out of 5 stars)
" The book takes some extra time in the middle with more killings than needed to make its point. There are some great twists where you learn about the killer and other characters and how they are all interconnected. Lutz is an author I plan to read more of in the future. "

— Elitinaphe, 2/17/2014" I liked this book very much. It's the second in the series featuring the detective Quinn. Much better than the first one which required me to suspend reality too many times. If you're into serial killer mysteries, this is a good one. "

— Staff, 11/6/2013" Well, I found myself skipping huge chunks of text. That means it was a nice diversion for awhile. Kind of like when you get up in the middle of an okay t.v. show to go get a snack knowing that you won't miss much. "
