Publisher's Summary

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 and recurring nightmare. Naked, strung from two wooden posts, the victim was sadistically tortured before meeting an excruciatingly painful death. All the skin has been ripped from her face - while she was still alive. 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 therefore 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 his victims seemingly at random, taunting Robert Hunter with his inability to catch him?

Hunter and his rookie partner are about to enter a nightmare beyond imagining.

Riveting

What an incredible story. Filled with twists & turns that leave you wishing the narrator could talk faster. Introducing Robert Hunter, brilliant detective determined to track down the killer with all the odds against him. If you love suspense & riveting story lines this book is for you. Keeps you enthralled to the final conclusion. I’m now a huge fan of the incredible author Chis Carter and of Detective Robert Hunter

it's a compelling story

It's a compelling story but the writing is annoying and disjointed and I nearly gave up many times, the narrator was not the best either unfortunately . I enjoyed the twist at the end but I wont bother with the rest of the series.

Great story and well read

I really enjoyed this book. Unlike so many others, the ending wasn’t sudden and unthought out. Looking forward to book 2.

Simplistically gory

Dialogue between detectives reminded me of Batman and Robin in the TV series. Batman teaching Robin facts.
Not a sophisticated serial killer story or performance.

More shock value than story

The characters are 2 dimensional clichés and the author relies heavily on shock value instead of actual plot development. I won't bother with this author again
