My Review:

This book is a fast-paced high octave well written thriller.

Francis Ackerman Jr. is such an evil, vile and twisted character and every time he was on the page I would get goosebumps and the hair on my neck would rise wondering what he would be doing next.  He really reminds me of Hannibal Lector.

Marcus Williams is a flawed hero who is fighting some hints of darkness in his own soul.  He faced evil before and survived with his calm and smart thinking.  He quickly realizes something isn't right and there is a conspiracy with the government.

I highly recommend reading this book if you are looking for a fast-paced thriller with lots of twists and turns and a truly terrifying villain with perverse perversions.

4/5
