    About this series

    In the third Santero and Rein thriller, Carrie and Jacob must stop a lunatic who calls himself The Master, as he sends out letters to his potential victims.

    Fifteen years ago, Herbert Presley Tanner abducted teenager Brenda Drake in order to commit a ritual purification of the flesh demanded by his fanatical beliefs. He doused her in gasoline and was about to light a match when detectives Jacob Rein and Bill Waylon intercepted him and brought him to justice.

    Now Brenda Drake has been reported as a suicide. Arriving at the death scene, detective Carrie Santero finds a letter Brenda had received from someone who signed himself as "The Master." Bill Waylon, Carrie's boss, calls on her help after receiving a letter threatening the lives of his two daughters. Again, the signature is "The Master."

    Waylon recognizes the demented signature. Herbert Presley Tanner, he explains, was sentenced as a juvenile and committed to a mental health facility where he has been held indefinitely. Now, the state is trying to offload him. He has a hearing coming up. Bill needs Carrie to make sure Tanner isn't released.

    But when Tanner comes before the court, with the support of his parents and his prison doctor, the judge releases him. A woman who has been close to Rein is murdered, as is a female cousin whom Tanner had tortured as a teen. The threats intensify to include Carrie, Rein, and all who are dear to them. Carrie must delve into the deep secrets of Jacob Rein's past - and into the dark abyss of a psychopath's homicidal impulses - to stop "The Master" from destroying more lives.

      “Schaffer is the real deal. His writing will knock you out.” —J.A. Konrath   WHEN EVIL KNOWS YOUR NAME   Nothing fascinates rookie cop Carrie Santero more than serial killers. Now she’s hunting down the sickest, most twisted psychopath she’s ever faced—an “omnikiller.” Unpredictable, unrelenting. A death machine beyond all evil.    As the body count rises, Carrie enlists the help of Jacob Rein, a brilliant, embittered former detective who has gone to the darkest corners of the killing mind. What he knows—what he can never unknow—could lead Carrie to the point of no return. The place she can no longer avoid. The place that has never stopped calling her . . .    “A killer who sets a new standard for lethal danger.”—Lisa Scottoline   “A stylish, attention-getting thriller. . . the most engaging pair of detectives I’ve seen in a long while.” —David Morrell “Gruesome and honest. Readers will find themselves fascinated.” —Booklist “Schaffer’s knowledge of detective work is evident.” —Library Journal

      “The most engaging pair of detectives I’ve seen in a long while.” —David Morrell   SOME SECRETS WILL NOT DIE   For three agonizing decades, seasoned manhunter Jacob Rein has been consumed by one case—a missing girl never found and two cops dead, one murdered, the other a suicide.      Rein’s protégé, Detective Carrie Santero, shares an equal fascination with the twisted patterns of murder. But when the discovery of a small human foot unearthed in the Pennsylvania woods leads her to a decades-old cold case, she is not prepared for the secrets she will unravel—and their connection to her mentor’s dark and buried past . . .   Praise for Berard Schaffer’s The Thief of All Light   “Tense, fast, and excellent—I loved this book.” —Lee Child   “Schaffer writes about cops with the assurance of a seasoned police veteran.”  —Lisa Scottoline   “Schaffer presents a thriller that is both gruesome in content and honest in its portrayal of police procedures.” —Booklist   “Schaffer is the real deal.
