With the same ex-Secret Service agents, King and Maxwell, who featured in Split Second, Baldacci delivers a serial killer tale with an impressive body count! A dysfunctional small town eccentric family sits at the core. All in all the plot twists and turns in a most satisfactory manner, highly enjoyable, albeit a bit slow to start.
Comparison: Dennis Lehane, Michael Connelly, Lee Child.
