Darker Than Night
2 journalers for this copy...
From back cover:
A killer dubbed 'The Night Prowler" has turned the city that doesn't sleep
into a town kept awake by terror.
Unseen, he enters couples' homes.
Unsuspected, he lingers until the perfect moment arrives.
He leaves "gifts" for his victims--before taking their lives.
Enter ex-homicide cop Frank Quinn,
still reeling in the wake of an elaborate setup that ended his career.
For Quinn, this isn't just any job--it's a last chance to salvage his reputation.
As the investigation proceeds, the murderer loses no time stalking new prey:
a loan officer and her high-earning husband;
a couple who made a killing in the stock market;
a pretty actress and her prosperous lover.
With the body count rising, it's up to Quinn to unlock the
mystery of a madman's past and end his bloody reign.
Quinn's got his work cut out--because in a city the size of New York,
any one of eight million faces could be that of a killer--or his next target.

I could not put this book down, it was so good and moved at such a fast pace, that I simply flew through it.
Highly recommended.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
Released into the Halloween bookbox.
I'm claiming this paperback from the Halloween bookbox. Looks like a very creepy thriller!
Later: Very creepy indeed, with the nightmarish situation of the victims waking in their own homes to find an intruder calmly waiting to see their fear before they die... Nicely twisty plot, too, though perhaps a bit too twisty in places. I found some of the characters too prickly to empathize with completely, but overall quite a thrilling read!
