When an unidentified female body is discovered laid out on a slab in an abandoned butcher's shop, the cause of death is unclear. Her body bares no marks; except for the fact that her lips have been carefully stitched shut. It is only when the full autopsy gets underway at the Los Angeles County morgue that the pathologist will reveal the true horror of the situation - a discovery so devastating that Detective Robert Hunter of the Los Angeles Homicide Special Section has to be pulled off a different case to take over the investigation But when his inquiry collides with a missing persons' case being investigated by the razor-sharp Whitney Meyers, Hunter suspects the killer might be keeping several women hostage. Soon Robert finds himself on the hunt for a murderer with a warped obsession, a stalker for whom love has become hate.
This was a definite gripping page-turner and not for the squeamish but I actually liked the first two books of the series better. As Hunter made discoveries, it was held back from the reader and made it extra difficult to solve who the murderer was until it was revealed at the end of the book.The reader did receive back information about Hunter when he was a child which was very interesting. I especially like the relationship between Hunter and his partner, Garcia, and how they watch each other's back. I also enjoyed the ending of the book and all the information about the murderer and why he committed the murders. I do look forward to reading the next book in the series and I highly recommend this series to those who like gritty thrillers.
