The Crucifix Killer by Chris Carter
Jul. 26th, 2009 01:20 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Say your prayers
When the body of a young woman is discovered in a derelict cottage in the middle of Los Angeles National Forest, Homicide Detective Robert Hunter finds himself entering a horrific nightmare. Naked and strung from two wooden posts, the victim was sadistically tortured before meeting an excruciatingly painful death. On the nape of her neck has been carved a strange double-cross: the signature of a psychopath known as the Crucifix Killer. But that's impossible. Because two years ago, the Crucifix Killer was caught and executed.
Could this be a copycat killer? Or could the unthinkable be true? Is the real killer still out there, ready to embark once again on a vicious and violent killing spree, selecting victims seemingly at random? Hunter knows he will risk everything to find out - even if it means becoming the hunted.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
If you're looking for something different in the serial killer genre, then this book isn't for you. If you're happy with the usual cliches and tropes though, you'll probably enjoy it.
