A US Customs agent leads a team hunting a twisted serial killer preying upon women in this thriller from a New York Times–bestselling author.
"Nerve-jangling . . . A sort of Silence of the Lambs meets Seven . . . An assault-the senses novel whose energy is guaranteed to hook thrill-seeking readers." —Booklist
A genius, hairless, seven-foot-tall psychopath, Leonard Land is many people wired into the cyber-subculture of Satanism and Death Metal. He is smart and cunning. He is quick, brutal and deadly. And he is everywhere.
A renegade US Customs agent, a brilliant and beautiful forensic psychologist, and a streetwise convict master hacker are on the trail of the maniac who is methodically slaughtering innocent women—a hunt that is leading a trio of unlikely heroes across an imperiled nation . . . and deep into the darkest corridors of cyberspace.
But there is no system the maniac cannot infiltrate, no secrets he cannot access. He knows he is being hunted . . . and by whom. And he's determined to strike first—in ways too terrible to anticipate.

      The man who dreamed up such TV heroes as Mr. T., Hunter, Jim Rockford and the Commish now introduces maverick U.S. Customs agent John Lockwood. This hero of Cannell's boisterous second novel (after The Plan) is "one of the best pound-for-pound bullshitters on the planet," who totes a gun with a two-inch barrel (although "he'd never been able to hit anything with it, at least it didn't poke him when he sat"). Not unexpectedly, Lockwood's breezy style infuriates some important superiors, but readers will enjoy how he puts together a team (beautiful Ph.D. Karen Dawson and handsome computer whiz/convict Malavida Chacone) to track down Florida-based serial killer Leonard Land, he of the "brilliant, twisted" mind and "fat, gluttonous body." The story rambles at times and includes too many forced, nick-of-time heroics, some jarring noir pensees from Lockwood and an anomalous burst of piety from Karen ("Lead me out of this darkness. In the name of your Son, Jesus. Amen"). The bloody climax sees Malavida and Lockwood, both severely damaged, dragging themselves to the rescue of Karen, who's offered herself up as bait. It's a lightweight, generally enjoyable yarn, and if readers have seen it all before, well, they probably will again, sometime between dinner and the 11:00 news. Author tour.
