Tony Hooper stands in shadow across the street, one amongst many in the crowd of curiosity-hounds gathered to watch a monster's release. Seventeen years after Mitchell Norton, "the devil," terrorized Algonquin, Illinois on a spree of kidnapping, torture and murder, the authorities release the butcher from psychiatric prison.

Tony longs to charge across the street to destroy Norton—no remorse—as if stepping on a cockroach. Only sheer force of will prevents his doing so.

"The devil" walks the world again. What shall Tony do about it? Aye, what indeed.

After all, this is what Tony does. It's who he is. "The devil" himself long ago made Tony into this hunter of monsters. What a sweet twist of fate this is, that he may still, finally, administer justice.

Will FBI Special Agent Linda Monroe stop him? She owes him her life, so how can she possibly put an end to his?

Tony Hooper and Mitchell Norton battle for supremacy, with law enforcement always a step away, in this story of justice and vengeance, evil and redemption, fear and courage, love and loss.

(Synopsis from Goodreads)

 

 How awesome was that little synopsis? You know what's even more awesome? The whole book itself! Now if you aren't into the whole POV of a serial killer genre this book may not be for you, BUT if you are I suggest going to Amazon or somewhere and getting this book.

So the story is split into two different time periods, one set in 1978 when Norton is having his trial done and then the other is in 1995 when he's released. This is my favorite kind of format because you can guess what's about to happen next but then it completely surprises you when you find out in the flash forward that it didn't happen. I hate it when this isn't done well, but Diamond does this flawlessly! It's really awesome.

I also like that it's centered around the killer himself and not focused on the whodunnit part which, no offense to the people who write and read that kind of stuff, bothers me to no end. I do enjoy it sometimes but when the murder mystery genre is flooded with it I don't like it. I like killer POV.

I don't want to spoil the awesomeness so go get it! It's a really awesome fast paced read, well I thought it was but if you want to savor it go for it!
