Pretty Maids All In A Row

Six dead women in a hotel room. Five of them students, still in their teens. Tied up. Tortured. The NYPD recognizes the suspect's signature--three bloody initials carved into each victim's forehead. Ex-cop Frank Quinn has faced this madman before. Both bear scars from their last encounter. Killer and cop, hunter and prey . . . In a deadly game of matched wits, only one can prevail. It's not just about who gets killed. It's about who will survive . . .

"Frenzy" by John Lutz which I won through Goodreads Giveaways is a fast-paced, chilling crime thriller that begins with the death of six women tortured in a hotel room, five of them teens. When former homicide captain Frank Quinn is hired to assist the NYPD in the case he recognizes the killer's monogram- D.O.A. - carved into their foreheads. A killer he almost died pursuing, and thought dead in airplane crash, Frank knows he's back to playing a deadly cat and mouse game with him.
