Just one hell of a good read. WOW
Gabe Quinn is a lead detective for the LAPD. He usually handles serial killings. Loads of serial killers out there and it seems most tend to land in LA.
Gabe is returning to work after nine months off. He's trying to deal with the death of his wife, Hope. Not an easy row to hoe since she was killed by a serial killer Gabe didn't catch. His Captain is watching to see if Gabe is really ready for work and trying to gauge his mental health. Eleanor, the Department shrink, is also on call for Gabe.
Gabes partner is in the hospital recovering from illness so Gabe is on his own for now.
As if thats not enough to deal with Gabe gets called out on a murder. The victim is a little girl. The body is in the exact same place as the body of another young child who was killed by a serial killer. No ID on the little girl and the bodies condition is freaky.
Before you know it Gabe has several more bodies that are all in the same condition as the little girls. Another serial killer is on the lose and it seems he has Gabe in his crosshairs.
Gabe does have friends though.
Bill Teague is the head of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. He's an acclaimed forensic phychologist. He's also been a good friend of Gabes for six years. He and Gabe have worked together quite well. Bill is also physic. Of course Gabe doesn't believe it but Bill is one savvy guy and what he says usually comes to pass.
So beings one helluva read. WOW. This one is action, mystery, murder and has a twist at the end that you just don't expect.
Hell. I thought I had it figured out and boy howdy was I wrong.
Just one great read and worth way more that those lousy five stars and you can bet #2 in my crosshairs.

May be the best book I've ever read!!!
I recently finished one of the best, most perfect books I've ever read. I haven't seen him recommended anywhere. The book is "Killing Hope" by Keith Houghton . It's the first in a series of four books. They definitely should be read in order. I like long books. If a book is only a couple hundred pages or so I won't read it. I like to spend time with the characters and get to know them. This book was just over 500 pages long. I like shorter chapters, I don't care for a lot of profanity, a lot of graphic violence or graphic sex. The book provided this. The way the author forms sentences absolutely flows. His descriptions are perfect. The storyline was incredible. I had been in a reading slump for at least three months. I started and stopped several books. Nothing held my attention until I bought this one. I was completely enthralled from the first page to the last. There was never a dull moment. I couldn't stop reading until about 5:30 am. It kept being "I'll just read one more chapter"...lol! If I wasn't retired I'd have had to call in sick to work for lack of sleep! The action never stopped, the twists were everywhere and the ending was one I'd never have guessed! I've definitely never read a better book. I'm on his second book now. The author appreciates messages and answers them. I give this a 5 out of 5. Definitely recommend!!!
