Synopsis

She's looking for the perfect man. He's looking for the perfect victim. Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She's seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman―the latest in a string of deaths across the coast―confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.  Sydney should feel safe. After all, she is dating the guy of her dreams. But she can't shake her own suspicions that the perfect man may not be as perfect as he seems. Because someone is watching her every move, and if she doesn't get to the truth, she'll be the killer's next victim…

Catherine Hamilton is an extremely attractive young woman who's making a very good living as "Tamera Sanders," an upscale L.A. escort. But when Catherine/Tamera turns up shot to death in her apartment, the police conduct a fairly cursory investigation before concluding that the young woman's death w......more

I do like Thomas Perry. I've read most of his other books (both the Butcher's Boy and Jane Whitfield series are excellent) and was pleased to get this one as an advanced reader copy. It introduces a new character, Jack Till, ex-homicide detective, who is hired (for a considerable amount of money, wh......more

Perry does it again. He delivers a twisty murder thriller. No real mystery except how the heck can Jack catch this guy? Without boring me, he managed to put in hours, days, & weeks of plain drudgery hunting him down. The bad guy is very good, meticulous, & seemingly emotionless - a great assassin, e......more

Goodreads review by Kathy on September 30, 2019

2013 book was available at library and my brother recently liked it, so I carried it home. This is action and then more action, not a story about reality or even plausible people. Thus, when you want a page turner and a good chase by way of a very smart private investigator tracking a contract kille......more

Goodreads review by David on June 25, 2013

Perry is a fine writer, but I have begun to read him selectively, as I have with T. Jefferson Parker. Last time I tried one, I found his recent Jane Whitefield books to be bizarre and disconnected from a credible world. But I will go back and look again, since I enjoyed this serial killer novel very......more
