An ex-NYPD cop turned PI pursues a serial killer known as "The Skinner" in this dark crime thriller by the New York Times–bestselling author of Mister X.

The Killer Becomes The Hunted
She was gagged. Violated. Tortured. Nailing the killer is priority number one and only the best will do—that means Frank Quinn. And Quinn wouldn't want it any other way. Because he recognizes the victim. Years ago, as a homicide detective, he saved her young life. Now the hunt is on, and deep in his gut, Quinn welcomes it. He knows he's seeing the work of a truly twisted serial killer. Except it's not the ritual weapon that makes this killer so disturbing. It's who he kills—and how he makes them suffer . . .

Praise for the writing of John Lutz

      Starred review from November 15, 2011
      Just as Ed McBain gave readers an unprecedented glimpse into real police procedures with his "87th Precinct" series, Lutz has breathed new life into this genre with his Frank Quinn books. These novels are often brutal and lurid but never unbelievable. "Serial" is no exception: a madman known as "The Skinner" is targeting women who falsely accused men of rape and is exacting a horrible form of justice against them. His butchery chills even the most hardened members of Quinn's squad, and when one of its female members is nearly beaten to death, Quinn, Pearl, and the group go after him with a vengeance. This is not an easy book to listen to, but narrator Scott Brick manages to present the Skinner's brutality in a way that keeps the terror on a high burner without veering into salaciousness. His calm, clear reading gives the victims a dignity that the killer tries so hard to deprive them of. Lutz's titles are popular in all libraries, and there is no doubt that this will find a ready audience. Highly recommended.—Joseph L. Carlson, Vandenberg Air Force Base Lib., Lompoc, CA
