Description: "This book lives up to the hype....fast paced, complex and filled with twists and turns, once I picked up this novel, it was incredibly hard to put down....At this point, this novel has me feeling a serious "book hangover". And, with that ending, I am really hoping this will not be the last that I will read about these characters. 5/5 stars. A must read." -- Clues and Reviews "Bram Stoker Award finalist Barker ingeniously blends horrific images into a bizarre plotline to create this devilishly dark thriller."-- Library Journal "...Nice twists on classic thriller tropes." -- Publisher''s Weekly "Superbly constructed and immaculately paced, this is one of the few serial killer thrillers that bears comparison with Thomas Harris''s 1981 masterpiece Red Dragon."-- Daily Mail "J.D.
