On one of the first pages before the book starts Carter writes this--
This novel differs immensely from all my previous books, mainly because this is the first thriller I've written in which most of the plot and characters are based on real facts and people I met during my criminal-behavior-psychology days. The names have been changed for obvious reasons.
I'm glad I read that before starting the book, once you start it you won't want to put it down, as his other books it is like being 'under a spell' until you finish! The climax ending will have you holding your breathe until the last word on the last page!
I ordered it as soon as I knew he had a new one out!

The title of this book so perfectly describes what you get between the covers! I have read all the books in this series just as fast as I could get them, and while I loved every single one of them, I feel this one was head and shoulders the best so far.
Detective Robert Hunter is called by
the FBI to interview a man highly suspected as being a serial killer, as he was found with two bodiless heads in his car. He is adamant that he will only speak to Hunter. What Hunter finds is a man he knows, a man he called 'friend' for years, a man who was his roomie during his college days.
What follows is a horrendous story of abductions, torture, and brutal killings over the last 25 years. This is not for the faint of heart. The killings are extremely graphic in their descriptions. Hunter is having a hard time balancing what he knows against what he's hearing ..... until the antagonist describes how he killed a particular woman that Hunter was close to.
Most of us have heard the nature vs nurture debates about those who do horrendous things to their fellow human beings. What does it say about a man who consciously sets out to become a serial killer ... to kill as many people as he can ... in as many varied ways...and then documents his thoughts and feelings?
One of the things I best enjoyed about this book is that the reader really gets to know Robert Hunter. In the previous books of the series, you don't get a sense of the real man .. other than his job is his life and he is quite good at it... and he's a genius. This book gives the reader a glimpse of how he was as a young man and how be became the man he is.
I give it 5 stars!
