À propos de cet e-book
A vigilante group is taking out the FBI’s Most Wanted in this thriller by the Edgar Award–winning, New York Times–bestselling author: “Nine is a perfect 10.” —Orlando Sentinel
When a vicious felon on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list turns up dead in Los Angeles County, few mourn him; in fact, the public begins to cheer his unknown assailants as heroes. But as more brutalized corpses of fugitive outlaws are found, Sheriff’s Homicide Detective Alex Brandon knows that the vigilante group the public has nicknamed “The Exterminators” may be far more ruthless and sadistic than its victims.
The corpses bear eerie similarities to victims of a serial killer investigated by Brandon ten years ago—but the perpetrator died at the hands of his own traumatized teenaged stepson, who was sent off to an upscale reform school and who can’t be located for questioning. The detective has a chilling sense that he’s being manipulated. But by whom—and why?
“A deviant, often bloody dash through the killing fields of Burke’s richly imagined Los Angeles.” —People
“Enthralling.” —Sun-Sentinel (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)
“Absorbing and inventive.” —Publishers Weekly
