truly sickening, disturbing and terrifying, one of the best thrillers I ever read!
I found this in a second hand bookstore in London, it is a really ripe almost pungent Southern Gothic piece of pulp noir fiction about a crazed serial killer at work in a poor white and black trash town in the Deep South. Eschewing the tedium of current modern day political correctness found in so many crime writers today, the story has some genuinely nightmarish murders including a grizzly sexual element which occurs in the final horrific scenes where the hero's girlfriend is tied naked to the bed and sexually mutilated in front of him.

It is no-holds-barred for sure.

The killer's identity is kept quite well hidden to the end but the theme of twisted redemption will stay with you for a long time.

It should have been filmed and I am surprised it hasn't.

For sure it is strong stuff and heady stuff too.

But a real pulp classic and burns its way into your memory like nothing else I have ever read ... Read more

exciting police procedural
In Fortier Beach, North Carolina, Chief of Police Dan Munday investigates a call from two boys who found a sneaker containing the remains of a human foot.That later turns out to be that of a male between 15 and 20 years old.Not long after that, Dan begins investigating the apparent suicide of a high school student, Hillary Aycock.This particular death hits the forty-five year old Dan harder than usual because his teenage daughter that he raises by himself attends the same school and knew Hillary.

At about the same time Claredon County Deputy Sheriff Clare Thomas is assigned to stop the violence in the local high school.Soon she finds herself working with Dan looking for two missing teens.Already secretly sweet on one another, working in close proximity begins to blossom into a romance if Dan can ignore that the woman he desires is two decades younger than he is.

This is an exciting police procedural that works extremely well when the two lead law enforcement officials either are on an investigation or their personal lives are displayed.When best-selling author Hugh Zachary pontificates about the current state of the school systems, the story line feels disrupted.Sub-genre readers will want Dan and Clare to make future appearances, but without the fuzzy math.

Scattered throughout its pages are nuggets of wisdom which,in their entirety, constitute a road map to achievement in anyfield. The Bible advocates a specific faith, of course, but theprinciples of personal and monetary success taught by the ancients arethe same in any culture and in any era. They are eternal andunchanging.
