A cat-and-mouse suspense thriller featuring a retired homicide detective who's haunted by the few cases he left open, and by one in particular - the pre-dawn slaughter of eight people among hundreds gathered in line for the opening of a jobs fair when the economy was guttering out. Without warning, a lone driver ploughed through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes. The plot is kicked into gear when Bill Hodges receives a letter in the mail, from a man claiming to be the perpetrator. He taunts Hodges with the notion that he will strike again. Hodges wakes up from his depressed and vacant retirement, hell-bent on preventing that from happening. Brady Hartsfield lives with his alcoholic mother in the house where he was born. And he's preparing to kill again. Only Hodges, with a couple of misfit friends, can apprehend the killer in this high-stakes race against time. Because Brady's next mission, if it succeeds, will kill or maim hundreds, even thousands. (P)2014 Simon & Schuster

Terrific! Loved the main characters, especially Holly. Can't wait for the next one, "Finder's Keepers" to come out!

used book
got the book a couple days late, which is fine with the hurricanes going on. The book is in great shape for being a used book.

Over too fast.
I am a huge Stephen King and this book did not disappoint. I tried to make it last longer, but I just couldn't put it down.
As always, complex characters who come alive and a storyline that twists and turns. I did not see the plot changes coming and that's what I enjoy the most.
