A madman is on the rampage in the Los Angeles streets.
The City of Angels has become The City of Fear.
And everyone from the Oval Office down wants a quick result.
The heat is on Jake Mottram, head of the FBI’s new Spree Killer Unit,
and psychological profiler Angie Holmes to find the madman responsible.

Wow what an adrenalin rush of a book this was! Almost the perfect thriller – short sharp chapters following our main protagonists, lots of twists and turns along the way and some utterly compelling action to boot.

This was originally published as a serial – thank heavens I wasnt reading it then, how could I have waited from one part to the next? A spree killer is loose in L.A. but is he exactly what he appears to be? Angie Holmes is not convinced, Jake Mottram just wants to take his head off. Between them they will track and trace the devil, all the while trying to sort out their invariably complicated yet realistic personal lives.

I love the way this was written – it was one of those brilliant books you can dip in and out of, stays with you inbetween reads, almost like a carrot/stick scenario where you get stuff done and in return you can dive back into the story and find out what comes next. Ok to be fair I didnt NECESSARILY get stuff done apart from the reading, but still, if you are a better person than I then for sure this is a rewarding book in so many ways.

If you love a good thriller with heart then you will love this. If you like your characters flawed yet understandable, realistic yet fascinating, you will love this. If you like a book to surprise you occasionally and make you go “what??” you will love this. Most of all if you like a darn good yarn with a hint of an episodic feel to it – think 24 on acid – then you will absolutely love this.

I did. Excellent stuff.

Happy Reading Folks!
