Shadow Man Shadow Man

Publisher Description

Once, Special Agent Smoky Barrett hunted serial killers for the FBI. She was one of the best—until a madman terrorized her family, killed her husband and daughter, and left her face scarred and her soul brutalized. Turning the tables on the killer, Smoky shot him dead—but her life was shattered forever.

Now Smoky dreams about picking up her weapon again. She dreams about placing the cold steel between her lips and pulling the trigger one last time. Because for a woman who’s lost everything, what is there left to lose?

She’s about to find out.

In all her years at the Bureau, Smoky has never encountered anyone like him—a new and fascinating kind of monster, a twisted genius who defies profilers’ attempts to understand him. And he’s issued Smoky a direct challenge, coaxing her back from the brink with the only thing that could convince her to live.

The killer videotaped his latest crime—an act of horror that left a child motherless—then sent a message addressed to Agent Smoky Barrett. The message is enough to shock Smoky back to work, back to her FBI team. And that child awakens something in Smoky she thought was gone forever.

Suddenly the stakes are raised. The game has changed. For as this deranged monster embarks on an unspeakable spree of perversion and murder, Smoky is coming alive again–and she’s about to face her greatest fears as a cop, a woman, a mother . . . and a merciless killer’s next victim.

Pretty good

Not bad for a first novel. I had found book #3 and was interested in reading it. Decided to start with the first one. It was gory. It was very graphic. And it was extremely “wordy”, but all in all, not bad.

As of May 27 ,

Wow with a little yikes

Great book! An edgy thriller that is still mainstream ready.
I love the characters and the way the author brings the chapters to life. Kinda like James Patterson if he were angry and slamming his typewriter keys as he typed!
Keep it up Cody

Good

This story was interesting but also very gory in spots, thus only 4 stars. A good read, otherwise.
