"I am legion of the night. I am beyond good and evil." The Midnight Man steals into their homes under cover of darkness, kills the parents, but leaves the traumatized children alive. He is terrorizing the greater Los Angeles area and the FBI is called in to assess the situation and create a profile.
Caitlin Hendrix is no stranger to hunting predators and serial killers; she works for the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit along with Unit Chief CJ Emmerich and Special Agent Brianne Rainey. They soon find that this is an UNSUB who is unlike any other that they've profiled or apprehended. They've come from Quantico to assist the LAPD but their efforts don't seem to be helping to stop these home invasion murders despite an all-out effort. The killings continue and the Midnight Man seems to be escalating. Few clues to follow until they finally get a survivor who can give them all some crucial information. NO SPOILERS.
If you're looking for an excellent crime suspense thriller with nonstop action and great characters, then look no further -- and I recommend you start with the first one in the series as this is #3. Definitely a one-sitting read if you can manage as it's incredibly hard to put this down. There is so much going on in this book and the author gives detailed descriptions, background information, and interesting facts to prop the narrative. The writing is very good and the tension created will be exquisite as the FBI team and the LAPD try to identify and close in on their elusive criminal. I'm giving this one 4.5 stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for this e-book ARC to read, review and recommend. I can't wait a year for #4 -- honestly, it's that good a series.
This is the third book in a series that I recommend be read, from the beginning, in order.
Genre - Crime suspense thriller, FBI profiler
