Twist

By John Lutz

Only one man can stop death in its tracks. “Much of the book's gripping power stems from its serial killer . . . So read it. Be fascinated.” —St Louis Post-Dispatch

Frank Quinn is a decorated ex-cop. A former homicide detective specializing in tracking serial killers. Now his niece, Carlie Hobbs, needs help. Someone is stalking her, and the NYPD can't stop him. A blonde, blue-eyed beauty, Carlie fits the victim type of the killer who's been terrorizing women—leaving them bound, gagged, and tortured with surgical precision. To win against the most personal adversary of his career, Quinn will have to set the perfect trap. All he needs is the perfect bait . . .
