About this item
The Killer Becomes The HuntedShe was gagged. Violated. Tortured. Nailing the killer is priority number one and only the best will do--that means Frank Quinn. And Quinn wouldn't want it any other way. Because he recognizes the victim. Years ago, as a homicide detective, he saved her young life. Now the hunt is on, and deep in his gut, Quinn welcomes it. He knows he's seeing the work of a truly twisted serial killer. Except it's not the ritual weapon that makes this killer so disturbing. It's who he kills--and how he makes them suffer. . ."A Heart-Pounding Roller Coaster Of A Tale." --Jeffery Deaver on Night Victims"A Page-Turner. . .Twisty, Creepy."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Mister X"Lutz Is In Rare Form." --The New York Times Book Review on Chill of Night.
