Cruel (A Morris Brick Thriller)

17. L.A. detective Morris Brick knows the number all too well. It was the gruesome signature the Nightmare Man left next to his victims' bodies. Brick's father was the first to investigate the killings. Five women were butchered before the perpetrator vanished. Seventeen years later he resurfaced--to kill again in the same depraved ways. Now another seventeen years have passed. Brick knows in his gut that it's time for the Nightmare Man to reawaken. But even Brick can't imagine the madman's true agenda. Or just how terrifying the sleepless nights are going to get in the City of Angels . . . Praise for DERANGED "A dark and different serial killer novel that will haunt the reader long after the book is closed." --John Lutz "Los Angeles has seldom seen such grisly fun. It's James Ellroy meets Alfred Hitchcock on the psychotic side of the street." --Paul Levine "One of the most compelling, thrilling, and truth be told, at times look-away-from-page-frightening serial killer novels I've read in a long, long time." --Vincent Zandri "A fascinating and exciting blend of misdirection, topsy-turvy, and violence." --Reed Farrel Coleman
