"The man's grip was even stronger than her Father's, the single hand both choking and lifting her. Her lungs were burning for air, and her feet no longer touched the ground. Blood pounded in her ears, and her heart beat as if it would burst from her chest. When she sensed the man carrying her toward the cluster of evergreens she tried to fight, but her feet, dangling in the air gave no force to the kicks. A cascade of snow, dislodged from a pine branch, fell down the back of her jacket as the man pulled her into the trees. In a few moments the blowing and drifting snow had hidden the tracks on the sidewalk. Kathleen Swanson, forever fourteen, became The Butcher's first victim." Once again a serial killer stalks Millerton's streets. The first victim, a fourteen-year-old girl, is brutally murdered, her naked body nailed to a telephone pole in mock crucifixion, and her heart ripped from the body. The only clues are a black candle, a gold ring, and a silver coin - all arranged to indicate a Satanic ritual. Or is it a ruse to hide a crime of passion? Following a false trail, Matt Goeser is stunned when a young boy becomes the second victim. Now he knows a psychotic killer is loose in Millerton. He must find The Butcher quickly, but Matt has no clues, no motive, and no pattern. A third brutal murder established the first pattern - The Butcher chooses a victim every Friday night. Detective Norm Poole discovers the second pattern - the bodies have been crucified at points coinciding with the corners of a pentagram that will eventually encircle the city. With no other leads, the police stake out the prospective location of the fourth crucifixion. But The Butcher strikes again, this time claiming a police officer as his victim. Only one corner of the pentagram remains to be completed, and time is running out! A police woman decoy is only partially successful. Chasing the killer, Matt finds himself in a closed department store where the lunatic lurks in every shadow. Matt doesn't know he is slated to be the fifth sacrifice! "This is a very scary story because it isn't far from today's headlines." |

"A great book. I couldn't put it down and read it in two days, then read it again. This is even better than the first Matthew Goeser novel!" F. Thompson, Pittsburg, TX |
