Maxim Jakubowski April 2016 Highly Recommended.
Championed by Stephen King as in the tradition of 'Red Dragon' in the terror stakes, this gripping thriller pushes all the right buttons, including a strong one for discomfort. Following a painful sentimental break-up, Dr. Caleb Maddox, a San Francisco toxicologist, meets the obligatory femme fatale in a bar which later proves to have a connection with a series of unexplained murders.
His obligatory quest for the mysterious woman begins and quickly draws him into a sinister net from which he finds himself awkward to disentangle, with professional obligations and personal reasons involving secrets from his own past merging uncomfortably. Mining the roots of obsession alongside a plot stuck in fifth gear amongst a most memorable urban landscape, this is a creepy keeper!
