But it is CBA agent Bob Shaffer who is put in-charge of the case. The local cops want in, on the investigation. The crime scene is located in the middle of nowhere with only small towns of minimal populations scattered nearby. That is until two teen love birds, stumble across an old cistern stuffed full of corpses! When the body count reaches 15+ the bureau of criminal apprehension is brought into the case and with them is Lucas Davenport. R-A and Horn’s killing spree, has gone virtually unheard of. The chapters from their perspective, reminds me of staying up too late and watching the true crime channel. She makes a dramatic escape leaving one of the pair severely wounded! The killers are identified to the reader as R-A and Horn. However, Heather isn’t as easy to abduct as their previous four victims. The novel opens with the caption ‘years ago’, which we learn is the killers kidnapping their fifth victim to be Heather Jorgenson. What I got was one of the creepiest crime fiction reads since I read The Poet by Michael Connelly!!!!! You’d think the blurb from Stephen King, would have given me the hint!īut no, I went in assuming a typical crime fiction novel. I am a fan of multiple genre’s, which includes the horror genre. But the first I have ever read! Needless to say, it will NOT be my last! This novel is extraordinarily dark, the killers involved nightmarish! In fact, I did actually have nightmares whilst reading this novel! This novel is #24 in the Lucas davenport series.
