He can’t breathe. The choker is tight around his neck and attached to a short chain, and he can’t stand forever. As his legs begin to buckle, he calls out into the dark, “Why are you doing this?” Soon all goes black… Fed rat poison and left to die, a man’s body is found in the back alley of a bakery in Denver, Colorado. Detective Mack McClellan is assigned the investigation and soon discovers … investigation and soon discovers a similarity between the background of the murdered man and that of other men who have been reported missing in the area. These men have yet to be found, but McClellan doesn’t expect them to turn up alive. He calls on the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit to assist because he’s quite sure the city has a serial killer.
Special Agent Brandon Fisher and his team fly in to help, but it’s not long before there is another victim. Clyde Ellis was strapped to the bumper of his truck and dragged along a stretch of road—the same thing he had done to his dog. An idea of what’s going on begins to take shape, and while the killer’s method of murder is ever-changing, the FBI is quite certain of one constant. The evidence is pointing toward a vigilante killer who is on a mission to clean up society and exact punishment on his victims for their sins. The FBI will need to act quickly or there will most certainly be more death. But as the team continues to uncover the killer’s secrets, the case becomes more dangerous than ever, and their quest to save lives may very well result in the loss of one of their own.

I enjoyed this book. The author has written another wonderful book. The characters are amazing and have lots going on including a romance that has dissolved. The plot is great. There is no down time. The clues are each intriguing and will keep you interested throughout the entire book. Of course I will need to read more from this author.
The story was a sad tale but true.
Great characters with lots of twists and turns. A real page turner because of the fast pace of the story.
I happen to like this author!
Did not care for the characters; they lacked depth
Just began this series and am enjoying the interweaving of the characters with the crime stories they are solving.
Great book…..The killer meted out justice as it should be.
An eye for an eye so to speak.
I really enjoyed this book. I like this author and will continue to read her books.
I had a hard time with this one. I empathized more with the killer than the FBI team trying to catch him. Never really got into Brandons character.
It is a book EVERYONE should read so we can understand the animals that we share our lives with and also kids should read this book and be taught at home that living with our pets and caring for them keeps us happy and healthy. I only wish I could help all the animals that need it. And the saddest thing is abuse happens to our children.
I liked this book because although it was a murder mystery, it had a different spin on it. I would recommend it.
Good book, you think you know who did it but find out in the end you had no clue.
Couldn’t finish reading….too disturbing when it comes to people killing animals…
You can’t go wrong with this author. Enough tension and suspense to keep you turning pages but also a great plot and realistic characters. Thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful book!
Interesting plot with current issues about animal abuse, lags a bit in spots
I haven’t read it yet
I’m a dog-lover; I was so glad the author refrained from details about dog abuse , although he didn’t shy away from human pain the bad guy/good guy perpetrated on previous abusers. This was also a good police procedural with some whiffs of subplots and sequels; in fact the constant unrelenting Columbus, Ohio summer heat could almost be felt through the pages. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Well done; five stars deserved.
Very good
