Book Description:

The first corpse was found hooded, bound, and naked, kneeling on a bare mattress in a seedy hotel room. This was no ordinary murder but rather the work of a killer driven by something special, something spectacular. The fact that the dead man was a convicted rapist recently released from prison only increases the bizarre nature of the gruesome crime ... and the police's reluctance to apprehend the perpetrator. It's the body count that troubles Detective Inspector Tom Thorne, as brutal slaying follows brutal slaying, each victim more deserving than the last. Though he has no sympathy for the dead, Thorne knows he must put an end to a cruelly calculating vigilante's bloody justice before time runs out -- and a horrifically efficient serial killer targets a life worth fighting for.

#3 DI Tom Thorne British police procedural. I liked this one better than the second in the series, but not quite as much as the first. Thorne’s character is developing, the characters of those around him are fleshing out a bit more as the Serious Crimes Group is once again on the trail of a sicko serial killer who is brutally raping and killing, of all things, rapists. The clues, as always, are in the details, and it wasn’t too hard to sort out the bad guy despite a few obvious red herrings. Still, a thoroughly enjoyable entry in the series that brings the people and places in it to life.

Darn good read....and especially if you enjoy things from a decidedly British point of view...
