I have to say, each book in this series just gets better and better. Jefferson Winter's father was a serial killer, who was put to death after serving 20 years in prison. Each book tells just a little bit more background on what it was like being a child and finding out that your father used to abduct women, turn them loose in a large forest area and then hunt them down with a rifle.

Winter spent many years as an FBI profiler, now he is a freelance consultant to any police department who needs his help in tracking down the human monsters.

This time, though, he is stalked by another psychopath who doesn't want to be 'like' Jefferson Winter, but wants to 'be' Jefferson Winter.

It's been said that Winter has the brain of a psychopath....so let the battle begin.

Whenever I've read one of the books in this series, I always think how smart Winter is..how he's able to out-think the psychopaths that he chases. Then it occurred to me .. it's actually the author who has the brain and the smarts ... and the way he constructs the story is brilliant. Sometimes the author will tell you upfront who-did-it and then it's like a carnival ride figuring out the 'how' or the 'why.

I hope this is not the end of the series. I would follow Jefferson Winter and James Carol anywhere.
