Description

One by one, he’s killing them. Lurking in the digital underworld of Men4HookUpNow.com, he lures, seduces, charms, reaching out through instant messages to the unwary. They invite him over. He’s just another trick. Harmless. They’re dead wrong. When the first bloody body surfaces, openly gay Chicago Police Department detective Ed Comparetto is called in to investigate. Sickened by the butchered mess of one of his brothers left on display in a bathtub, he seeks relief outside where the young man who discovered the body waits to tell him the story of how he found his friend. But who is this witness…and did he play a bigger part in the murder than he’s letting on? Comparetto is on a journey to discover the truth, a truth that he needs to discover before he loses his career, his boyfriend, his sanity…his life. Because in this killer’s world, IM doesn’t stand for instant message…it stands for instant murder.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am thrilled to have discovered this writer.
It’s by no means suitable for the faint hearted, (the scenes of violence are devilishly good) nor the narrow minded, (if descriptions of gay hook ups and abuse are not your thing, you might want to pass), but the writing, characterisation and plot are all so well done, you’d be missing out if you did.
The story centres around cop Ed Comparetto’s determined drive to catch a serial killer before they strike again. The killer however, is always one step ahead of Ed which means that every casual encounter, could mean a possible date with death.
Slick, tense and well paced I highly recommend this as an exciting and original read.
