By John Lutz
Twist by John Lutz digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A PI turns the tables on a brutal lady killer in this suspense thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author of Pulse.

Once one of New York’s top homicide detectives, Frank Quinn now runs his own detective agency, frequently assisting the police on some of their most disturbing cases . . .

A serial killer is stalking the city for beautiful, blue-eyed blondes. He likes to drug and bind them, then torture them to death. Women everywhere are terrified, but the NYPD can’t do anything to help. The case soon becomes personal for Quinn when his niece, Carlie, begs for help. She fits the killer’s type, and worse, someone is following her.

Now Quinn must trap this monster before it’s too late. He just needs some bait . . .

“I always enjoy a good Quinn novel. This ran a bit slow in places so won’t rank up there as one of my favorites. As usual, the last twenty pages were high suspense, big action and wrapped up nicely. Except...will Sal make it through his stabbing?? Can’t wait to see who the next killer is in the series as they’re always twisted and violent.”
