ON THE TRAIL OF A BLOODY KILLER… Frank Quinn is sure he is hunting for a madman: someone who is shooting young women in the heart, defiling their bodies, leaving only the torsos to be found.

"I different edge of your seat read. Although you could figure out do a certain extent who the killer was, you didn't connect all the dots and kept reading. Lots of action, and it wasn't the same old mystery/thriller book predictable plot line."
— Melissa (4 out of 5 stars)
" I liked this book, not as good as the others I have read, but still kept me reading. It seemed a bit disjointed and at first I had to work pretty hard to get into it. However, I think it is worth the read. "
— Patti, 2/19/2014" This is my first John Lutz book and I enjoyed it thoroughly. "
— Lianne, 2/12/2014" What can I say? I like these nasty police procedurals... junk food for the mind... "
— Kbakken, 2/11/2014" This is an excellent mystery. A good plot, but also great characters. I could not decide between wanting to hurry up and finish it versus stretching out the enjoyment. Will definitely be buying more by this author! "
— S.L., 2/1/2014" okay i really liked Lutz's first book in this series. the second one was okay but similar. now tthe third one is yet again another serial killer whodunit. all three books are pretty much the same plot. same characters. nothing new. and there are three more books in the series and from the description on the backcover of each it looks like we have three more similar serial killer whodunits to slog through. so i suppose i am done reading this series. the author should have changed up the nature of the mystery these cops had to deal with in each new book (you know like every other great crime writer--Rankin, Connelly, Lehane, even Elizabeth George). I would recommend any of those over Lutz. "
— Brian, 1/27/2014" Good book but it seemed to take forever to finish. Not sure if it was me or the book. I was never bored with it. "
— Michelle, 1/17/2014" I really liked the first half. The second half got a bit crazy, though. "
— Lisa, 1/2/2014" Better than I thought it would be after reading other reviews. Could have ended better, but overall was ok. "
— Tonya, 12/23/2013" An interesting twist on identity theft. This book seemed a bit of a departure from previous novels in that you know up front who the killer is and their motive - unlike other John Quinn stories which leave you guessing while getting a look into the killer's past. "
— Luann, 12/19/2013" Lutz took Quinn and company to new heights, a very good read and on to the next book in the series. "
— Jimblankenfeld, 12/17/2013" In the Frank Quinn series, this one is another good one. "
— Kay, 12/10/2013" I am a John Lutz fan. This installment was a great read filled with calculating and evil baddies for Quinn and his team to chase after! "
— Marshamariella, 12/2/2013" The first book I have read in Lutz "Night" series. The main character is detective Frank Quinn. I'll read more of his books. "
— Terry, 3/23/2013" One of a trilogy, In for the Kill, Darker than Night. Great suspense, serial killer, dective series that will keep you up all night reading just to get to the end. The book will keep you guessing all the way to the end. "
— Sandie, 2/12/2013" STILL loving this series !!!! "
— Becky, 2/13/2012" I like the plot and characters, but Lutz's writing style doesn't grab me. It's not as fast paced as I expect a suspense/mystery novel to be. "
— bookworm73, 11/25/2011" I like Lutz's way of telling the reader what all of the characters are thinking including the victims, antagonists and protagonists. The book is a great thriller, but be prepared for the gruesome death descriptions. "
— Sharon, 9/24/2011" I was somewhat disappointed with this Lutz novel. Most of his work leaves me sitting ok the edge of my seat. But in this one I kept wondering when it would be over, of something more exciting would happen. Not that I wouldn't read everything John Lutz writes as I still think he's brilliant. "
— Jenn, 3/19/2011" this is one of the "night" series, with principle character Frank Quinn. this serie has always delivered and lutz did so again. "
— Allen, 3/1/2011" This book has a real gross serial killer in it. I've found John Lutz to be a great, suspense full writer though. I've read a couple of his books. "
— Deanna, 12/2/2010" Serial killer escapades with a twist. "
— Carolyn, 10/30/2010" an interesting book to read... "

— David, 4/30/2010" Incredibly stupid book "
— Susan, 8/29/2009" Riveting! Nobody does detectives versus serial killers like John Lutz. "
