      Synopsis

      For A Killer, Once Is Never Enough

      Homicide detective Frank Quinn can't stay retired when a new breed of murdering madman is on the prowl. In a city terrorized by bloody brutality, Quinn and his team hunt a psychopath who lures beautiful women into a night of unbridled passion, then wakes them to a vicious, drawn-out death. Stumbling over a trail of horribly defiled bodies, Quinn can't seem to catch up to the killer—because the killer is about to catch up to him…

      October 16, 2009: This is the second book featuring these three characters that I have read, and Lutz again has come up with a winner. Not only are these main characters interesting, fun and quirky, the story line is outstanding as well. Lots of thrills, chills and a couple surprises too. Don't miss the excitement!

      I Also Recommend: Blue Heaven, In for the Kill, The Bodies Left Behind.

      A Real Killer Thrillerby MystFanMJD

      October 14, 2009: John Lutz has written another in his line of serial killer thrillers, and this one has a new and intriguing plot line -- is there one killer or are there two. The killings are vastly dissimilar and yet the professionals believe it possible that both serial killers are in fact one. It takes some very scary twists and turns to unravel this mystery and you are left guessing until the very end. Along the way, a totally unrelated plot line about domestic violence is wound through the story -- you wonder if there is a tie, and worry about the resolution of this story along with the predominant plot -- and it has a very satisfying conclusion. Lutz had great character development for his killer(s) -- want to leave you guessing here -- with plenty of flashbacks to give the reader insight into compulsions. I loved this book, and if you like hard hitting thrillers, you should love it too.
