A psychotic killer escapes from a maximum security facility and a troubled ex FBI agent is called in to track him and bring him to justice. With this premise author Gregg Hurwitz has created a very fast paced and disturbing first novel. Using graphic violence and an over the top macho cop this book is sure to please those interested in the most disturbing books of the mystery genre. This book reminds me of a good horror movie where you want to close your eyes at some parts because you know it is going to scare your shorts off, yet somehow you keep your eyes glued to the screen. There are some graphic scenes in the book that may be upsetting to some but overall it is a delicous dish of almost to much over the top violence.
