I enjoyed this riveting, fast paced mystery about a serial killer who was targeting football players and coaches of the local college.  The lead detective on the case, a divorced man with three daughters,one of whom goes to the college, is assigned the case and quickly realizes that there is a pattern and that these killings are personal.This story moves along quite well, the characters, especially the lead detective Jake and his college age daughter Cassie are well developed and there is never a dull moment in the book.  There are only two quibbles I have and they both kept me from giving this five stars.  One is the frequent mention of why Jake's marriage failed and that was his wife was having an affair while he was spending a lot of time on cases.  While important, especially later in a dialogue with Cassie, I felt it was mentioned too much.The second one is editing.  While I don't go looking for errors, there were two that were glaring enough for me to mention.  One is missing the word "I" at the beginning of a paragraph twice.  The second is when Jake discovers two players are missing when the entire football team is sheltered at a local hotel for safety.  The two players who went missing were in room "215", but Jake enters room "315" and when he discovers they are missing, he races down from the "second floor."  Then a few sentences later, it is room "315" again.  Which one is it?Overall, overlooking the errors - a very good, entertaining read that will keep the reader engrossed.
