A mind bending thriller
Robert Walker takes one on an amazing journey through the tortured souls of his characters Marcus Rydell and Kat Holley. Marcus Rydell an ex-policeman who lost his sense of purpose when Iden Cantu an ex-marine went on a killing spree. Only Cantu's demented mind saved Rydell from the same fate as those of his fellow officers including Kat Holley's husband. Cantu had decided that he would have more fun destroying Rydell and all that Rydell loved before killing him.
Leaving Kat notes threatening all manner of horrible torture before killing her led her to enlist the only person she believed would have as much at stake in catching Cantu, Marcus Rydell.
We are led through the maze of revenge, hatred,and murder in this remarkable thriller.

The author
exhilarating cat and mouse thriller
The bloodbath that left his partner Stan Miersky and two uniform cops dead forced Marcus Rydell from the Atlanta police department in disgrace as he survived the massacre by fainting; his wife took their two kids to Ohio.He tried for the last four years to make it as a private investigator, but failed miserably as his heart was never in taking photos of cheating spouses.He now sits in his apartment with a gun contemplating suicide when he hears a noise upstairs that awakens his dormant detective genes.He races upstairs to find a little girl has killed an apparent pervert.Another neighbor Dr. Kat Holley arrives to help the child and invites Marcus to meet her for a drink.
He comes to the bar and she points a gun at him accusing him of killing her husband, APD cop Rydell four years ago in the incident that ended so tragically.She shows him letters from the cop killer hunter Iden Cantu, still eluding the law, who threatens to add her to his count.They agree to team up to capture and she to butcher the psychopath.However, he leaves them a holiday calling card when he tortures and kills the fiancé of the other dead cop from four years ago.Kat and Marcus know he is coming for them and the family members of his partner.
This is an exhilarating cat and mouse thriller that takes too long for the anticipated confrontation to occur; when it does it is first rate.Kat and Marcus are a fascinating couple as neither has moved passed the massacre and both want Iden dead.When their dysfunctional relationship changes from killing Iden to love, some of the steam is lost with the expected switch.Still they make the tale as they plan to hunt the predator; not understanding how clever and diabolical their enemy is though revenge proves extremely pointed.
