Katherine Adams, August 26, 2008

Imperfect heroes -- at times, unlikable people -- bond to fight a horrific serial killer. I was initially surprised at the descriptions of violence committed by the police officer/murderer, who easily outwits fellow law enforcement colleagues.

But his cruel and creative killings make you root even harder for his "weak" ex-wife and the "drunk" mercenary she convinces to help her. How the perfect husband gets away with murder is, unfortunately, plausible.

No stereotypes in this thriller; even the murderer is capable of loving his young daughter, who he finds and kidnaps from a safe house. But the determination of the man's ex-wife and the man she browbeats into training her to fight back make this a good late-into-the-night read.
