Robert Hunter #2 : The Executioner - Paperback

KoolSkool View : The Robert Hunter series by Chris Carter is an unputdownable crime series but is not for the faint hearted. These books are very high on violence and gore but if you are okay with that, you are going to love this series. If you find Patricia Cornwell and Karin Slaughter too violent, please do not even try this :))

Inside a Los Angeles church, on the altar steps, lies the blood-soaked, decapitated body of a priest. Carefully positioned, legs stretched out, arms crossed over the chest, the most horrifying thing of all is that the priest's head has been replaced by that of a dog. Later, the forensic team discover that, on the victim's chest, the figure 3 has been scrawled in blood.

At first, Detective Robert Hunter believes that this is a ritualistic killing. But as more bodies surface, he is forced to reassess. All the victims died in the way they feared the most.

Their worst nightmares have literally come true. But how could the killer have known? And what links these apparently random victims? Hunter finds himself on the trail of an elusive and sadistic killer, somone who apparently has the power to read his victims' minds. Someone who can sense what scares his victims the most.

Someone who will stop at nothing to achieve his twisted aim.
