i have only recently found Michael Prescott, & i cannot get enough of his writing. his character development, the twists & turns he provides make for an incredibly believable read. The Shadow Hunter & Stealing Faces are 2 of the best reads i have ever read & if he keeps this style up , guys like James Patterson & Geoffery Deaver will, in my humble opinion, have a serious contender. Cant wait to read Comes The Dark.
Deaver pales next to Prescott!

Usually, books with grisly pictures on the cover are horribly written bargain rack books that leave you asking how the author got a publishing contract. But, in this case Prescott creates one of the most intelligent, chilling villians I have ever come across. What to me makes a good suspense villian is an arrogant, super intelligent person who believes he is smart enough to get away with whatever he wants to do. In this case, Prescott's villian invokes all of these qualities as expertly as anybody I have read. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed the great book "A Perfect Crime", by Peter Abrahams. This book is similar to "Crime" but even better written, which I think says a lot about the quality of this book.

Imagine running for twelve years, harboring the deepest darkest secret as to why you shot your husband dead. Imagine that this secret leads you in to the maze of a viciously evil serial killer. Imagine he's a psychiatrist and treated you once, and just may "treat" you again! Such is the plight of Kaylie McMillan (Elizabeth Palmer, etc.) in this suspenseful second effort from Michael Prescott.As in "Comes the Dark," this is a gripping, suspenseful thriller. John Cray is a nasty, irreprehensible villain, smooth and relentlessly evil. Again, Prescott delves into Cray's youth to show us the reason, but again, not the justification, for his actions.The physical and psychological "hunt" between Kaylie and Cray is tense, and frustrating, as Kaylie appears to be losing the match, and Dr. Cray may finally get his revenge.A stunning book in many ways, it will keep you riveted. The supporting characters, as in Prescott's first novel, are very interesting, even if the hero (Roy Shepherd) and Kaylie are very similar thematically to the two heroes in "Comes the Dark." But, this is a minor complaint---just read it and be enthralled!
Wow!

I don't know what book Lisa from California read, but it sure wasn't this one. I thought the motivation of Cray's actions were well explained. I read a LOT of books and this one kept me on edge right up to the end. Prescott knows his stuff. What a thriller. Can't wait for the next one.
Wow! This one got to me!

The cover caught my eye and the story captured by mind. This is really a scary book, but very believable. Kaylie is a sympathetic and pathetic character, running for her life while trying to rid the world of a sadistic killer. No one believes her, she has no money, she lives in seedy motels and her beat up old car--all the while trying to convince herself she's not crazy. She is so terribly alone with her fears and her mission. I couldn't even catch my breath until it was over. I can hardly wait for the next Prescott novel. Wish he would include Kaylie and Detective Shepherd in a sequel...I want to know what happens to them both.
