Slaughter

By John Lutz

A PI tracks a serial killer that loves his victims to pieces in this edge-of-your-seat thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author of Frenzy.

A beautiful jogger, drained of blood, dismembered, then meticulously reassembled on the grass in Central Park. Subway derailments, plummeting elevators, collapsing construction cranes, apartment explosions—all creating a bloody, senseless puzzle. Detective Frank Quinn knows that even while the slayer is taunting the cops and the public, he's also screaming to be caught. But Quinn will have to risk everything he holds precious to bring in this killer . . .
