Book Description:
In 1972, on the day of his sentencing, renowned artist and serial killer Marsden Hexcamp is shot dead in the courtroom. Members of his Mansonesque band of followers are imprisoned or simply disappear.

Fast-forward more than thirty years: A suspected prostitute is found murdered in a candlelit motel room, the first in a series of horrors suggesting Hexcamp’s art remains alive and treacherous. Following a trail of beautiful--and profoundly disturbing--artwork, homicide detectives Carson Ryder and Harry Nautilus descend into the shocking world of the Death Collectors, people who spend vast sums to collect serial-killer memorabilia. As Ryder and Nautilus race to solve a thirty-year conspiracy, it becomes sadly evident that at the intersection of art and madness, death is beauty, tragedy a memento, and suffering suitable for framing.

This is by far one of the better books I have read this year. The main characters of Carson Ryder and Harry Nautilus (introduced in "The Hundredth Man") are as funny and interesting as ever. I loved the story itself and I promise you won't see the ending coming at all!!!

This was very good -- a creepy, vivid and surprising book with likeable, clever homicide detectives and a very quick plot. Definitely recommended!
