A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Praise for Richard Montanari

'Told at breakneck pace, with more than one truly frightening villain, and a protagonist whose tenacity in the face of evil makes him a hero for our times, you turn the pages as if your very life depends on it' Daily Mail

'A relentlessly suspenseful, soul-chilling thriller that hooks you instantly' Tess Gerritsen

'A no-holds-barred thriller that thrusts the reader into the black soul of the killer ... those with a taste for Thomas Harris will look forward to the sure-to-follow sequel' Library Journal

'Be prepared to stay up all night' James Ellroy

'A specialist in serial killer tales ... a wonderfully evocative writer' Publishers Weekly

'Razor-sharp plotting with a powerful narrative ... thrills to its very satisfying end' Chicago Tribune

'The novel is, like the nameless killer's victims, well executed. And like the killer himself, fiendishly twisted. A real page turner' Booklist

'Savvy and sharp ... as well-written a thriller as The Silence of the Lambs ... A winner'
Nelson DeMille

'With this novel, Montanari's reputation is set in stone - or written in blood - alongside the likes of Connelly, Slaughter and Ellroy' Crime Time Magazine

Quatrième de couverture :

Johnny Angel is found brutally murdered with a dead prostitute in his bed and a needle full of heroin in his arm. It's all the more shocking because he's a priest. But when Dr. Bennett Marc Crane, a prestigious plastic surgeon, is the next victim of a vicious attack of the same manner, it becomes clear that there is a serial killer on the loose...

And as this homicidal maniac exacts his vengeance upon more innocent victims, evidence of another long-buried crime is uncovered. One that starts with a Halloween celebration at an exclusive college party twenty years ago and ends with a murderous plan for delayed revenge.

For Nicky Stella, a hungry journalist, this is just the sort of sordid story that could land him a cover article. But when he digs a bit too deep, the killer's attention turns towards Nicky and he must find the killer before he becomes the next victim...
