Product Description:
Frank Quinn, the relentless detective who made his debut in John Lutz's acclaimed thriller 'Darker Than Night', faces his toughest - and most personal - case yet...A madman is stalking women in the city. By the time his victims are found, they've been dismembered with careful precision, their limbs stacked into a gruesome pyramid and completely cleansed of every last drop of blood.Accustomed to working on the most grisly homicides, detective Frank Quinn's nerves don't rattle easily. But when the last names of the killer's victims spell out 'Q-u-i-n-n,' the veteran cop feels a chill run down his spine. Then a fresh victim is linked to the one woman Quinn can't stop desiring. Hunting down killers is what Quinn does best. But this time, Quinn is up against a psychopath that will test him as never before...

I truly enjoyed the very first novel by Lutz so I quickly ordered 3 more and then 3 more. By the time I got the very first 3 and read 2 of them, it was too late to cancel the other order. His books are boringly repetitious. My suggestion: Read 2 and then forget the rest. They are all gruesomely, repetitiously alike.

Read the book in only a couple of sittings. Very compelling read, a real pageturner. Highly recommended and I look forward to reading the rest of Lutz's work.
A couple problems with this book though.
1) The whole back story of the serial killer is unbelievable.
2) The Pearl character is completely witless. I don't know how things work in the police world, but in my world if a detective has an affair during a case with the prime suspect and/or witness, she never works again. I saw Quinn's daughter as a target a mile before Pearl should have. Pearl never did, and only a dimwit wouldn't have thought of it.
3) It was never explained why the serial killer had a thing for Quinn. Maybe i just missed it. (I skipped a lot of the father-daughter interaction stuff.)
4) The evil mother, whom the police suspect is a little off, asks for a shotgun and they supply it without question, without discussion. A true rolling of the eyes moment.
5) Given the boys' background, who their mother and fathers were, the chances of them having these genius level IQs is about 0. Gimme a break. They grew up in a swamp, killing transients for a living.
There is quite a lot of stuff like this is the book. but it's a fun read, just don't think too deeply about it.

This was my very first book by this author. Whew! Tense and exciting. I will have to go back and read his others.

too much like 1993s "The Night Spider"
while Lutz is good at times lately it appears he's running out of ideas

As usual,John Lutz has his readers on the edge of their seat. Wonderful, fast read.
