Someone is stalking her, and the NYPC can't stop him. A blonde, blue eyed beauty, Carlie fits the victim profile of the killer who's been terrorising women - leaving them bound, gagged and tortured with surgical precision. To win against the most personal adversary of his career Quinn will have to set the perfect trap... and all he needs now is the perfect bait.Praise for John Lutz:'Lutz knows how to make you shiver.'

Six women are found dead in a hotel room – five are them are students, still in their teens. Tied up and tortured, these are signature killings recognised by the NYPD for the three bloody initials carved into each victim’s forehead: D.O.A.

Ex-cop Frank Quinn has faced this madman before and both men bear the scars from their last encounter. Killer and cop, hunter and prey, find themselves in a deadly game of matched wits where only one can prevail. It’s not just about who will be killed, but who will survive…



LOVE THEM TO PIECES. A beautiful jogger, drained of blood, dismembered, then meticulously reassembled on the the grass in Central Park. Subway derailments, plummeting elevators, collapsing construction cranes, apartment explosions-all creating a bloody, senseless puzzle. Detective Frank Quinn knows that even while the slayer is taunting the cops and the public, he's also screaming to be caught. But Quinn will have to risk everything he holds precious to bring in this killer. . .
