Product Description
Book Description
He's coming to get you. The fifth thriller in the compelling Byrne and Balzano series from the Sunday Times bestseller.
Product Description
It is fall in Philadelphia and the mutilated body of a man is found in one of the poorest neighbourhoods of the city. The victim has been viciously tortured to death. It's the work of a sadistic mind in free fall.
When homicide detectives Kevin Byrne and Jessica Balzano investigate, they soon realise that their crime scene is linked to the past. Eight years ago, another body was found in the same place, in the same position, killed in the same manner. That case was never closed. Apart from their killer's unusual calling cards, the crime scene photos - past and present - are identical.
As another brutalised body appears, then another, it becomes horrifyingly clear that someone is recreating unsolved murders from Philadelphia's past in the most sinister of ways. And the killer is closer than they think...

Crime has never been so good as it has recently. Within this title you get scares, you get chills and above all else you get a tale that keeps the reader glued to the last page especially when you back it with some cracking backstory to reveal more about one of the principle protagonists. It's well written, it's definitely a title that has a great overall arc and its one that adds to the characters previous adventures in such a way that it keeps it moving at its own pace.
Finally add some great prose, a good sense of dialogue backed by believable characters and the reader really is in for a treat. Richard is back to form so please ignore The Devil's Garden and turn straight to this title. A real faith restorer.

Having read all of Richard's books one expects a certain level of excellence, and although I would be the first to admit that the books sometimes work outside the perameters of normal thrillers he always delivers. This book allow the reader into the emotional lives of both Balzano and Byrne which only increases the readers love for them as individuals and as a team. Although there are some chapters which can be a little slow I would recommend this book to any thriller reader.

So after a bit of a wait we're back with Philly Detectives Jessica Balzano and Kevin Byrne with this, the 5th book in the series. And what a series it has been. I think I've rated all the past books with 4 or 5 stars here on Amazon, and this is no different. It's the run up to Halloween and there's a serial killer loose in Philly, leaving each of their victims with a band of paper around their heads and posed in positions that are a complete replica of a past, unsolved Philly crime. But how are the crimes connected? That's the case that our 2 detectives are facing. Aswell as delightful tidbits of home life and personal demons this makes for an awfully well rounded crime novel featuring some of the most readable and believable character's in the genre. I'd say read this only if you've read the others first... although if you're interested I suppose it couldn't hurt to be read by itself. Either way Richard Montanari is a name you should take note of; he's up their with the best of them.
