Linda avatar reviewed on + 770 more book reviews


They call him The Closer. He hunts and finds serial killers that the police have never been able to find. He tortures them for hours until they confess their sins and tells where the bodies are buried and then sends their souls to hell. He leaves their bodies with tapes of the confessions.

His partner in crime is a prostitute, Nikki, who has lost her closest friend to a brutal murderer they call The Patron.

After two years of hunting, The Closer finally has The Patron in sight. The Patron is the man responsible for the horrible murders of his parents, wife and young son.

But how often can he kill and keep his sanity? What will it take to erase the memory of his tortured family? Is revenge worth what it's doing to him?

He seems no longer to be doing this for justice ... he's starting to enjoy it.

Warning: Extreme violence .. lots of blood and gore ... brutal torture ... graphic descriptions.

The book's premise is a good one.... serial killers being killed by a man turned into a serial killer because of what happened to his family. I felt some sympathy for The Closer in the beginning ... I understood what he was doing ... and yet it felt wrong. Book is well written with outstanding characters.

This book is not for everyone. If you have a queasy stomach, faint at the sight of blood, or graphic violence, you might want to skip this one.
