Every story has a beginning . . .
They met for the first time in college. Two of the brightest minds ever to graduate from the prestigious Stanford University. They met again in Quantico, Virginia. Robert Hunter has become the head of the LAPD’s Ultra Violent Crimes Unit. Lucien Folter has become the most prolific and dangerous serial killer in FBI history.
The FBI caught Lucien. He’s been in prison for years. But Lucien has just escaped. And he’s angry. He’s going to make the person who put him away suffer.
That person . . . is Robert Hunter.
And every story must come to an end . . .
My thoughts: If you’ve been reading this series too, you will maybe remember Lucian Folter from An Evil Mind, formerly Hunter’s college roommate, now the most dangerous and prolific serial killer the FBI has ever encountered.
If not, you’re about to meet possibly the most evil man around. He’s deadly and completely devoid of care, he kills to study death and the only person who might be able to get inside his mind and stop him is Hunter. Lucian currently hates Hunter and wants him dead for his part in catching him last time, so this is very personal.
As the two men circle one another, each trying to out think the other, the body count rises. Can Hunter recapture this monster or has he finally met his match?
Assisted as always by his partner, Garcia, as well as the FBI and a federal marshal, Hunter needs to stop Lucian before he kills anyone else, or Hunter himself.
Totally gripping and horribly shocking, this really ups the ante by making it incredibly personal to Hunter, not just because this is his city, but because people close to him are in danger and Lucian Folter won’t just stop and go away.
