This book starts out with the brutal rape of Stephanie Preston. Unfortunately for Stephanie this is not the first time she's been raped since she was taken. The killer keeps them for weeks and gets progressively more brutal until he kills them. If you can't read about rape, then do yourself a favor and skip this book. It is about a serial rapist/killer and is very graphic.

Having said that, I must also say it's a really good story with really great characters. I particularly liked Bernie and Jim. I do think that the book could have been shorter as it felt drawn out at times. The killer repeated his MO to the letter each and every time and I got sick to death (no pun intended) of reading again and again and again the same thing. I figured out the killer early in the story and thought for a couple of really bright cops that it took them too long to figure out the mystery.
