Summary
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. . .

Booklist Review
*Starred Review* A restaurant hostess and aspiring dancer is found dead in her apartment. She was disemboweled, raped, burned, and flayed alive. For answers, New York City Police Commissioner Harley Renz again turns to his former partner, retired homicide detective Frank Quinn, whose private investigation firm, Quinn and Associates, handles the usual array of agency jobs but has demonstrated an affinity for running serial killers to ground. Renz, more ambitious politician than cop these days, needs the case cleared quickly. This looks like a serial killer, and the theory is confirmed when a second body is soon discovered. The only link between the two victims is tenuous. Both were connected to a high end S & M club that was briefly trendy in the seventies. On a parallel track, a series of assaults in Missouri that may be related to Quinn's New York killer requires Quinn and colleague Pearl to go country. Lutz is the winner of multiple Edgar and Shamus awards for excellence in the mystery field. The sixth Quinn novel could easily add more hardware to his mantle. An outstanding thriller.--Lukowsky, Wes Copyright 2010 Booklist
