Publisher Description

Homicide detective Frank Quinn can't stay retired when a new breed of murdering madman is on the prowl. In a city terrorized by bloody brutality, Quinn and his team hunt a psychopath who lures beautiful women into a night of unbridled passion, then wakes them to a vicious, drawn-out death. Stumbling over a trail of horribly defiled bodies, Quinn can't seem to catch up to the killer - because the killer is about to catch up to him.

"A great addition to the "Kill" series. Another twisted plot that kept me guessing. I had thought that Zoe the psychoanalyst would have been in on the murders somehow but I was wrong. I loved the ending and how it leaves things hanging about the realtionship with Pearl. "

    " I have really enjoyed the Frank Quinn Series from John Lutz, but this one had too many story lines that made it confusing. Most of it tied up nicely in a frantic finish , however the Hobbs storyline just didn't make sense, and didn't really have a place in the book. Looking forward to the next one though! "
