Product Description:
FBI profiler Ulysses Grove is sure he's this close to trapping a serial killer . . . but the killer is planning a gruesome surprise that will come far too close to home...
The Image Of Murder
The Mississippi Ripper likes to work in pairs--of victims. For every dead body laid to waste, a second one faces it, a grotesque mirror image of terror and torment. Special Agent Ulysses Grove thinks he knows the method to the killer's madness. But grasping the twisted logic behind the brutal slayings propels him onto a path of danger--to him and to everything he holds dear.
Pushed to the limit, Grove's only hope is to dig deep into his own past. But this is one serial killer with powerful resources--and Grove's worst fears are already one step ahead of him...
'M. Night Shyamalan, meet Harlan Coben.'--David Ellis

I finished some of my favorite authors (Lehane & Connolly)and was trying to branch out. I happened to come accros "Shattered," it seemed to have all the things I like; FBI, a serial killer, and even a mention on the cover comparing it to the "Sixth Sense."
It was good, not great, but good. It kept me going and didn't drag. I guess the only complaints that I do have comes from the comparison to the "Sixth Sense." It seemed a little forced. There was also a huge leap in the story as to how the FBI figures out who the killer is. No Thomas Harris, but an enjoyable read. I would read other Bonasinga books.

In Northern Virginia FBI profiler Ulysses Grove receives his latest major field assignment: stop the Mississippi Ripper, a serial killer, who murders in pairs before the culprit slices up his victims. His grotesque portrait of death is to have two people facing one another. Grove methodically follows the clues and believes he is unlocking his opponent's psychopathic mindset, yet the rampaging killer continues his vicious homicides seemingly ignoring the Fed trailing in the murderer's row.
However Grove and his FBI compatriots will underestimate their elusive vicious foe. Using his paranormal skill, he targets Ulysses' wife, Maura and their infant son Aaron as a pair to disembowel. Meanwhile Grove keeps on digging applying his mother's supernatural visions to guide him.
The third Grove FBI police procedural (see FROZEN and TWISTED) is an exciting thriller that cleverly balances the varying elements from the paranormal to profiling to old fashion sleuthing foot work. The key cast members seem genuine even when using special psychic like power as Grove does because he is a loving family man and the terrifying Mississippi Ripper feels like a Headlines News killer. SHATTERED is a taut cat and mouse tale with the hero's family as the cheese.
