Amazing murder-mystery read! The twists and turns along the way thoroughly will put you on edge and bend your mind in this who-dun-it suspenseful novel.  I enjoyed the characters, true to life and likeable or hateful, depending on whom you are talking about.  I personally loved the main character Robert Foster, a man who was a master at solving crimes but was shamefully forced to retire from the police force.  He is persistent, never straying from his goals of finding the perpetrator of the latest string of unusual, conniving crimes that escalate in violence with every execution.  Foster loves his job, almost to the point of insanity.  His flaws make him so real and vulnerable at the same time.  His relationships with his best friend and ex-partner Murillo,  Foster's ex-wife-now his good friend-Barbara, and new reporter girlfriend Lauren keep you wondering if they really are just friends or they have other motives to be around Foster.Scott Prussing develops his characters and scenery well and the plot was seamlessly woven to include a variety of possibilities on what would happen next and a fluctuation of whom to trust throughout this believably real-life t crimes and twists.  I loved the ending; it couldn't have been further from who I thought would end up being the offender.  Overall, a must read.
