Product Description

Product Description

"Billie Sue Mosiman's novels are edge-of-the-seat all the way!" Ed Gorman, award winning author of BAD MOON RISING.

"There are only a handful of authors in the world who can craft true suspense, and Billie Sue Mosiman is one of the best." C. Terry Cline, Jr., author of REAPER

The killer in the night.
He waited in the shadows, a dark and deadly presence. He was no novice at this terrible trade--he had struck before and he would strike again. And with each new killing he became less human...and more vicious.
He stood patiently, a wire garrote in his strong hands, ready to claim yet another victim. Soon he would have one more to add to his growing list unless they could stop him. But how could they when they didn't know who he was? What he was? To a terrified city he was known only as the Wireman.

Set in the 1970s, two brothers return from the Vietnam war with blood on their hands. Learning to kill the enemy wasn't something that would go away when they returned home to Houston, Texas. Could one of them be the serial killer, Wireman? Could the other stop him?

Loosely based on true crimes which occurred in Houston, Texas in 1978-80.

A suspense thriller by Edgar-Nominated author, Billie Sue Mosiman.

Synopsis

A sadistic serial killer called the "Wireman" paralyzes an entire city with fear, as he garrotes one victim after another.

When Nick was ten and Daley was eight, the Ringer siblings knew they were different from other families. Their mother was an abusive drunk, who earned a living selling her body. Her actions made her children the Bloomington, Texas town's pariahs. Daley always hung in the shadows, ready to protect Nick from himself. He would lie for his older brother in order to provide him with an alibi. Nick's forte was to strangle his tormentors' pets because misery was miserable company.

In Nam, Nick and Daley served as Recon Officers. However, when the siblings were separated from their squad, they were trapped deep in Cong territory. In order to survive, Nick had to use the garrote to make a quiet kill of his enemy. When they were rescued, Nick had a breakdown and was hospitalized. He remained confined in the mental ward until Daley returned home. The brothers move to Houston at the same time that someone is decapitating the heads of innocent people, using an MO similar to Nick's Nam experience.

WIREMAN is a taut thriller that keeps the reader on edge from the first page till the novel is finished. This type of book is the true horror novel because the monster is a human, who preys on anyone without the slightest shred of remorse. Billie Sue Mosiman captures the essence of the sociopath so well, readers will buy extra locks to secure their homes in order to gain a slightly disturbed sleep. Fans of realistic horror tales, need to read WIREMAN, one of the sub-genre's best of 1997.

I really enjoyed this book, more than I thought I might. Stories of post traumatic stress in war veterans aren't something I'm usually drawn to, but this one wa so beautifully pulled together, with such clever characterisation and plot, and plenty of suspense and surprise, that I was utterly drawn into it, not to mention terrified. An excellent read.
