Angie (aladdin) - reviewed on 10/27/2013 + 154 more book reviews

There are a lot of thriller books out there but none with quite the intensity of Montanari's homicide detective duo, Byrne and Balzanno from Philly. Then they encounter a psychotic serial killer (again) who is a magician and focused on illusion and misdirection to continue murdering teen aged runaways whom he lures into his web as a spider would a fly. Badlands provides an engrossing and absorbing glimpse into the details of detectives' daily dedication to duty!! and personal details about the driven characters personalities to make one wish the next novel were right here right now! Also, being from PA, a number of years ago, I like reading about Philly, even the dirty details of disturbed minds. A very taught and entertaining read.
