Publisher Description
A terrifying new serial-killer thriller featuring Carson Ryder, hero of the bestselling The Hundredth Man.
Thirty years after his death, Marsden Hexcamp's ‘Art of the Final Moment’ remains as sought after as ever. But this is no ordinary collection. Hexcamp's portfolio was completed with the aid of a devoted band of acolytes – and half a dozen victims, each of whom was slowly tortured to death so that their final agonies could be distilled into art.
When tiny scraps of Hexcamp's ‘art’ begin appearing at murder scenes alongside gruesomely displayed corpses, Detective Carson Ryder and his partner Harry Nautilus must go back three decades in search of answers.
Meanwhile an auction has been announced and the death collectors are gathering. These wealthy connoisseurs of serial-killer memorabilia will pay millions to acquire Hexcamp's art – unless Carson and Harry can beat them in their quest for the anti-grail.

"This is the third book with Carson Ryder as the main character. This story is centered around those who collect items originating around serial killers. It had an interesting premise and like his first two novels, kept me to the end. This is a great up and coming author. Start reading him now and you will not have to read so many to catch up with him later."

" This is the second in the Carson Ryder series and I enjoyed the storyline which is about the strange people out there who collect serial killer memorabilia. I didn't guess the ending which was a bonus, and I look forward to reading the third book. "

" read this book mid 2009 and loved the characters. Did not realize Kerley has other books with these same cops and recently got the audiobook The Hundreth Man. "
— Terrie, 3/7/2013 -
" I'm about a third of the way into this one, and I have to say I really like Jack Kerley's style. I don't particularly care for 1st person novels, but Kerley handles it well. This is quick reading...[when I get the chance to read-ha!:]. But I'm taking more opportunities these days. "
— Charles, 12/22/2012 -
" Another good story. I like the main characters, and the people are believable. There's one plot thread that just seems to lead nowhere but otherwise it's exciting, fast-paced and kept me guessing. "
