A terrific story told in an unorthodox fashion.  Why would a serial killer write to his final victim's brother?  What kind of dastardly plot did this messenger of evil have in mind? Through the technique of letters being penned by a killer to the victim's family and letters from the victim's family to the killer, the reader climbs inside the minds of both the killer and the victim's family.  A great psychological study.  Lawrence block has been writing this stuff for fifty years and rarely if ever misses.  A short quick read.  Recommended for readers of all types.
