About this ebook
FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER THE CALLER
When an unidentified female body is discovered laid out on a slab in an abandoned butcher's shop, the cause of death is unclear. Her body bears no marks; except for the fact that her lips have been carefully stitched shut.
It is only when the full autopsy gets underway at the Los Angeles County morgue that the pathologist will reveal the true horror of the situation - a discovery so devastating that Detective Robert Hunter of the Los Angeles Homicide Special Section has to be pulled off a different case to take over the investigation
But when his inquiry collides with a missing persons' case being investigated by the razor-sharp Whitney Meyers, Hunter suspects the killer might be keeping several women hostage. Soon Robert finds himself on the hunt for a murderer with a warped obsession, a stalker for whom love has become hate.
PRAISE FOR CHRIS CARTER
'A touch of Patricia Cornwell about Chris Carter's plotting' Mail on Sunday
'Gripping . . . not for the squeamish' Heat
'A page-turner' Express

I was not exaggerating. To me, this was by far the best novel from Chris
Carter. And, the other that I've read from him was already tremendously
entertaining. The protagonist, Robert Hunter, is the cerebral equivalent of
'Jack Reacher'. The whole story; plot and characters, was simply
outstanding! I couldn't put down the book. The ending was elucidating and
gratifying. In all, a superlative crime thriller!

Great read I couldn't put it down until I finished. This is the third book I have ready that this author has written. I love his work.
