"Saul Black squeezes every last ounce of suspense out of this story ... The Killing Lessons is state-of-the-art in the ever-darkening serial-killer genre." -- The Washington Post In their isolated Colorado farmhouse, Rowena Cooper and her two children prepare to wait out a blinding snowstorm. Two violent predators walk through the door. For these men, it's just another stop on a long and bloody journey -- and they still have many miles to go, and lives to sacrifice, before their work is done. But for the Cooper family, nothing will ever be the same. . . "a nail-biter." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Meanwhile, San Francisco homicide detective Valerie Hart can't stop thinking about the victims -- women abducted, tortured, and left with a seemingly random series of objects inside them.
