Ratings and reviews

This is a powerful story, a real page turner, of two men. One is Sgt. Rick McCoy, the man who is investigating a killer of women. The other is the serial killer himself, who takes the reader on a roller coaster ride through his mind. The reader will learn the Who .. the What .. the Where .. The When .. and most importantly the Why. The story starts with an abduction of woman doing nothing more sinister than going into a grocery store to buy a couple of things while her husband sat in the car listening to a ball game. She is never seen again .... until her body is found a month later. The killer contacts McCoy directly .. sending him a video of another woman , bound to a chair. Who is she? How did she wind up on the killer's orbit? And how does this killer have a connection with McCoy? The characters are finely drawn. McCoy is a man on a mission, doing the right thing, finding justice for the victims and taking down those responsible. He is flawed, has marital problems and the stress of this latest case isn't helping. I really like how the professional and personal work together to put a real face to this man. The killer is evil, pure and simple. It begs to ask ... Nurture vs Nature. Was he born evil ... or taught to be evil? This one totally satisfied my fascination with serial killers. Many thanks to the author / The Wild Rose Press, Inc / Netgalley for the digital copy of this crime fiction. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
