Product Description
Stephen Coonts
'A visceral, unnerving psychological thriller. '
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
Houston is shattered by a shock wave of unbelievably vicious sex killings. And this time the pattern is unique--way out of line with traditional violent-crime psychology. In Detective Carmen Palma's experience, a psychopath always chooses anonymous targets. But the Houston victims know and trust their killer: They meet willingly in hotel rooms, even in their homes. They don't fight when the leather cuffs are fastened to their wrists and ankles. They don't even struggle when the first blows fall . . .Palma's first lightning instinct is that the victims expected their torture. They were practicing masochists, apart of a secret clique that includes some of the city's most prominent women. They helped choreograph their own punishments-every blow. They just didn't expect to die. . .

I read this boook years ago and absolutely loved it, and I still consider it the best thriller I have ever read (and I have read many many books of different genres)This is a real page turner and absolutely heart racing, scary and chilling, do yourself a favour and buy this book you will not be disappointed.

Once I started reading it was impossible to stop. Highly recommended, especially for people who want excitement in every chapter.

I admire Lindsey and regard him as a very good writer who often has valuable social insights to offer.
On this occasion, he sets up a good plot and the book remains full of suspense. The story here involves a rather scary sexual maniac and Lindsey is not shy in providing details. I would, however, rate the ending as passable rather than great after the build-up he provides.
If there is one other criticism, and I have noted this in one or two of his previous efforts, it is that he can be very long-winded. This book did not need 670 pages, for instance.
