I thought that this one was too close in many respects (plot,
characters) to Connelly's superior THE POET. Granted it's
been a while, but I found the similarities distracting. It
seemed as if Parker was deliberately trying to affect a
serial killer chic "style" common to Connelly and Thomas
Harris. Too forced. For something original but in a similar
vein try Bradley Denton's BLACKBURN.
Parker has let me down since his fourth book [PACIFIC BLUE,
maybe?] and a crappy thing entitled (I think) SUMMER OF FEAR.
Sorry, fading memory...
