Summary

Inside a Los Angeles church, on the altar steps, lies the blood-soaked, decapitated body of a priest. Carefully positioned, legs stretched out, arms crossed over the chest, the most horrifying thing of all is that the priest's head has been replaced by that of a dog. Later, the forensic team discover that on the victim's chest, the figure 3 has been scrawled in blood.

At first Detective Robert Hunter believes that this is a ritualistic killing. But as more bodies surface, he is forced to reassess. All the victims died in the way they feared the most. Their worst nightmares have literally come true. But how could the killer have known? And what links these apparently random victims?

Hunter finds himself on the trail of an elusive and sadistic killer, someone who apparently has the power to read his victims' minds. Someone who can sense what scares his victims the most. Someone who will stop at nothing to achieve his twisted aim.

Brilliant

Very gory, but once you get over this, it’s well written! Love the narrator too. Really great story and not predictable. Highly recommend!

Fan of both author & reader

I’ve got all the Hunter series in hard copy and have read them twice over. I also have them on audible now, as they are one of my go to series if I’m struggling to get into something new or just need an easy read. I Have loads read by Thomas Judd too and he’s always great and makes it such an easy, enjoyable listen 😊

another excellent serial killer story by C. Carter

I first listened to Crucifix Killer and this a great edition to the series. Carter really knows to write on serial killers. ok there was a slight hint of supernatural with the 'visions', but it doesn't take away from the suspense and keeping you guessing. really enjoyed it and now onto his next one
