From the blurb:
When the body of a young woman is discovered in a derelict cottage in the middle of Los Angeles National Forest, Homicide Detective Robert Hunter finds himself entering a horrific nightmare. Naked and strung from two wooden posts, the victim was sadistically tortured before meeting an excruciatingly painful death. On the nape of her neck has been carved a strange double-cross: the signature of a psychopath known as the Crucifix Killer. But that's impossible. Because two years ago, the Crucifix Killer was caught and executed.
Could this be a copycat killer? Or could the unthinkable be true? Is the real killer still out there, ready to embark once again and a vicious and violent killing spree, selecting victims seemingly at random? Hunter knows he will risk everything to find out - even if it means becoming the hunted.

This is an uncorrected proof copy which I received from 'I want a free book every month'.

I was really impressed by this book, especially as it came through the post as a surprise! A well-plotted thriller with plenty of twists and turns and some opportunities to make your own guesses at the outcome. I'll certainly look out for future books as this is supposed to be the first in a series featuring the main character. Recommended reading for anyone who loves their thrillers lively and in your face.

My Dad is going to give this book a try. He likes murder mysteries, but this one is a bit different from his usual choice.

Dad returned this to me today, don't think it was really his sort of thing as a bit too violent for him apparently. I was a little surprised when he said he was borrowing it!!
