Search - Fear Itself

Excellent book - but very graphic.

E.L. Pender, the FBI agent introduced in Nasaw's previous mystery (The Girls He Adored, is a few days short of retirement when he gets a letter from a California woman with an unlikely premise--that the deaths of three people who, like her, attended a conference for people suffering from a variety of phobias (some very strange indeed) were not the random accidents they appeared to be, but the work of a serial killer. Once Pender meets Dorie Bell, the letter writer, he believes her, and with the help of a gutsy agent sidelined from an active career in the FBI by her recently diagnosed MS, he tracks the murderer--the man who bankrolled the conference in order to meet his victims, learn their vulnerabilities, and use their fears to kill them.

This book sort of put me in mind of the movie "Saw." And it was EXCELLENT! The bad guy is definitely off his rocker and it's interesting to see what he'll do next - or who he will kill next and how he will kill them. What do you have to fear, but fear itself?

If you like being creeped out this is the book to read!
