FBI Agent Gardner Camden and his team in the Patterns and Recognitions Unit (PAR) are assigned a new case. With two former serial killers dead, they have to figure out who is killing them and need to do it fast. It is not only their careers at stake, but so is the image of the FBI at stake. When the serial killer killer begins to taunt Gardner, he becomes more determined to figure out who it is, and he’s got an idea of where he just may find the suspect.
I REALLY enjoyed this book. It was sort of like reading a criminal minds type book but not exactly. It was less about profiling (but there is a bit of that in there), and more about following the evidence and using the skilled thinking of a trained agent to know where to assign his team to look for clues and information.
McMahon wrote such great characters that really came alive in this book. Each of them had a distinctive voice and skill, each of them had a purpose. This was the perfect team. I especially loved the working professional relationship between Gardner and Cassie; they seemed to be able to tell what the other was thinking and had a non verbal way of communicating.
While there are many books about serial killers, and I have read books about someone killing serial killers, this one didn’t feel like anything that I had read before. The precise way that McMahon commanded the interactions of the Agents made this feel very real. This is definitely a book that could be made into a TV series.
I can see this book being enjoyed by many!!!
