关于此电子书

The New York Times–bestselling author “ratchets up the suspense with breathtaking results as only a skilled, inventive and talented writer can do” (Orlando Sentinel).

A man in a Virginia prison awaits execution for three horrific murders he must have committed but swears he didn’t . . .

An aging investigator in New York City has seen too much and lost too much—and is ready to leave the darkness behind . . .

But a nightmare is coming home—because a brilliant, savage, patient monster has unfinished business in the big city . . . and a hunger that can be satisfied only by fear and the slow, agonizing death of Matthew Scudder and the woman he loves.

“A thrilling, satisfying concoction brewed by a master storyteller in top form.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“An unforgettable tale of violence, death and deceit.” —Lansing State Journal
