About this audiobook
For the past six weeks, LAPD detective Matt Jones has been recovering from the wrong end of a hit man’s bullet. Before he can look for payback, Jones finds himself enlisted in the manhunt for an old foe. Dr. George Baylor, the serial killer who escaped after murdering three coeds in LA, resurfaces on the East Coast. This time, an entire family has been slaughtered in their home outside Philadelphia, and the doctor’s fingerprints are all over the crime scene.
With panic rising, the FBI seeks Jones’s help, and the hunt for this brutal mass killer is on. But so is the hunt for the man who paid to have Jones shot. When a second family is found murdered, the search for the killer becomes frantic, and Jones’s shocking personal history explodes before his eyes. With his two missions welded together as one, Jones enters the madman’s world—a place of unimaginable terror—and hopes that if he survives, he can find his way out.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Although this is the second in the series it is not necessary to read the first book as it is summarised where necessary.
Six weeks previously LAPD detective Matt Jones had been shot chasing serial killer Dr. George Baylor. Now the FBI believe he is out on the Eat coast and recruit Jones on a temporary basis to track Baylor down.
I really liked the story and the style of writing, and the character of Jones, even the politics and the backstabbing that everybody seems to be doing. I look forward to going back and reading the first book.
A NetGalley Book. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Wow! Great book, but not for the squeamish. (Think Criminal Minds). Mr. Ellis is clearly a gifted writer who can keep a reader riveted, especially if you can suspend your disbelief a bit. At least, I hope certain of the character's actions-both the supposed good guys and the evil doers- are not things that occur outside the realm of fiction. This is a very timely book that makes use of current scandals in the news and has a very sympathetic and vulnerable lead protagonist. Make sure you have time to read this without too many breaks as you won't want to put it down. Just keep in mind that is also quite disturbing. Thanks to the author and NetGalley for a copy of the book.
