Our Book Review
What a novel , a hard hitting story which touches on the dark side of everyone from the serial killer to the police who are investigating the crimes.
Although you know who the killer is from the outset, the real gripping thing is the reason why and as these reasons are revealed it draws the reader in.
On the other side we have the police detective who is fighting his demons and will stop at nothing to find the killer and as their paths cross fireworks explode.
The exceptionally thing about this novel is the emotive and human touch that is given to the main characters. If you like hard hitting gritty novels that portray the true side of investigations with no hold bars this is the writer for you.
A real page turner with a very good psychology edge to it.
This book kept me enrapt from page one to the end and the only disappointing factor was that it was over too quickly.
The first of 3 novels featuring the same detective and on the basis of this one the author has created a detective to rival Morse, Rebus and Frost.

About the Author
Cary Allen Stone is a brilliant writer of psychological thrillers and murder mysteries. He writes with a keen eye for detail-the graphic violence is chillingly realistic. He delivers a taut, darkly introspective, cunning and well-executed plot by leaning towards the fallible side of his characters. He understands the criminal mind avoiding the stereotypes that dominate crime thrillers. There is a good balance of chemistry and conflict, good and evil that fans will find enthralling. His characters become embedded in our psyches and the pace of his unraveling of his thriller is a ride not easily forgotten. Cary Allen Stone is an important name to watch. This is one superb crime writer!--Grady Harp Top 100 ReviewerVine Voice 2014In addition, he had a non-speaking character role in an AAA Club advertisement and has done voice-over radio commercials.
