Great insight into the emotional and physical roller coaster of a serial killer. Strong ensemble of characters. First book I've picked up by this author, but will be reading more.

Although it ended the only way it possibly could end, this thriller remained exciting to the end. A fine entry in the Frank Clevenger series, although the female "interest" of Clevenger remains sketchily drawn in this one.

This is the first book I have read by Keith Ablow. It's excellent!! I plan to order any of his books that are available. It's the kind of book that's hard to put down. A forensic psychiatrist is called in to work on a serial murder case, and he and the killer exchange open letters in the New York Times. The killer is a successful psychiatrist, also. The reader gets to observe the two matching wits. An interesting approach by the author!

great story which somehow manages to show the kinder, gentler side of a violent psychopath serial killer while showing the dark underbelly of the "good guy" as well. Well written, keeps your attention, and brutal at times...what more could you ask (or expect) from a book with this title?

Some years ago I saw Dr. Keith Ablow on a show about violent criminals and was impressed with him. I started looking for anything he had written on the psychology of criminals and ended up finding this book. It's fiction but I also love a good mystery so I went ahead and bought it. The story was a thriller and fairly well written. I wasn't particularly taken with any of the characters in the book but it held my interest all the way through. It's not as good as early Patricia Cornwell or anything by Michael Connolly but it's worth a read.

Serial Killer mystery by the psychologist that has his own TV show.

I like his books better than his talk show.

Another excellent thriller.

This is a very good book! A real page turner. It is a little bit different than your average psychopath books.

Not what I was expecting after reading the reviews. None the less I was quit happy with the book itself. While the outcome was somewhat predictible the story telling was excellent. A very nice book (Story)

Quite interesting, it kept me guessing.

Dr. Frank Clevenger teams up with the FBI to find the "Highway Killer". This MC has really grown on me. I went from intense dislike to admiring his tenacity. With each book, I like him a little more.
