James Kipling writes a riveting and exciting suspense novel about a serial killer known as the "The Card Counter" who is murdering young college guys on the state football team and leaving behind a playing card. The murders are brutal and horrific. It becomes obvious that the murderer is out for revenge, and that revenge results in the slow torture of the murder victims.Jake Walker, the main character and also the homicide detective assigned to this case, has just gone through a messy divorce and family life has been unstable. With his personal life in chaos, Jake must try to find a balance between work and home life. I found myself enjoying the story and loving Jake Walker's character---you can really see he's trying to be a good father to his kids. He's also a great detective who is relentless---he'll stop at nothing until the killer is captured.There are so many twists and turns that you'll find yourself wondering who the actual killer is. I love a good suspense thriller or crime novel, and this is certainly it. Great book! It comes highly recommended.
