Jack Casey is an Ex FBI profiler working as a police men in a little town called Marblehead. Since watching his pregnant wife die by the hands of a psychotic killer he's come a long way from profiling, a six months months stay in a mental hospital, working in carpentry and finally accepting a job offer at the Marblehead police department. Despite his new girlfriend, which he really loves, he can't let go of his past and wife Amanda.
No a new killer is on the loose and kills whole families in his town and those close-by. The killer has an agenda, kills people and sets their houses on fire. He is well informed about explosives with huge impact. Not only destroying the scenes of crime but whole neighborhoods and streets.

After receiving a call from The Sandman Jack is informed that his life, his girlfriend's and that of her niece is on his agenda if he doesn't step back from all investigations. Jack begins pulling former strings and FBI connections to save the life of those he loves.

The Sandman is highly intelligent, a freak who knows how to manipulate and monitor people. He has a past and only one person knows him good enough to know what he's going to do. This person isn't Jack Casey but also an ex-profiler hiding from the FBI. Malcom Fletcher also has an agenda - his very own one.
There are going to be a lot of dead people along the Sandman's path until his campaign of vengeance is fulfilled.

I really liked this book. It certainly does have a sort of open ending considering Malcom Fletcher, a dark and fascinating character. I've been asking myself a special question about him but I don't want to spoil the book. Ask me after reading the book yourself. :-)
