a detective searches for a brutal killer. Don't want to give away too much of the book. If you know Layman and his work then you need no introduction. This story is mostly dialogue and moves very fast.
Lots of sex & gore which is typical Laymon. Although it wasn't a bad read, it was hard to take the characters seriously. Found it almost laughable how his lead female character, a police officer, could still manage to run around either shirtless or naked while in hot pursuit of the killer.

This one turned out to be much better than I thought it was going to be. The twist at the end certainly took me by surprise! I honestly didn't see it coming and I think it saved the book as a whole, since it seemed a bit more crass than the other Laymon books that I have read. Still, all of his books are fast reads and definitely entertaining page-turners.

At 2:32 in the morning a Jaguar roars along a lonely road high in the California mountains. Behind the wheel sits a beautiful woman wearing only a skimpy, revealing nightgown. She's left her husband behind. She's after a different kind of man - someone as wild, daring, and passionate as herself. The man she wants is waiting for her...with wild plans of his own.
The man waits patiently in the woods. When the woman stops to pick him up, he suggests they go to the Bend, where the river widens and there's a soft, sandy beach. With the stars overhead and moonlight on the water, it's an ideal place for love. But there will be no love tonight. In the morning a naked body will be found at the Bend - a body missing more than its clothes. And the man will be waiting for someone else.
