Malcome Hobbs suffers. His past haunts him.
A serial killer is loose in Atlanta. Hobbs and his team must stop the killer.
This book reminded me of James Patterson's books. Scenes go from the view of the killer then switch to the police point of view. That's where the comparison ends.
Serial Rites has a spiritual component and I love it.
The Profiler, serial killer, had many levels. The story took a journey as to how he came to be a killer. That was interesting.
"Atlanta's X-Men are alike a pack of Terminators. To paraphrase a line from the movie, the X-Men can't be bargained with," says a Vanessa Zane, reporter.
I loved the characters, who were down to earth and real, the plot which took a lot of twists and turns, and the infusion of Bible verses, which brought out the spiritual element. Great story with a lot of tension.
This is the first book that I have read of Cortez Law and from the first page to the very last it grabbed me and made me want to keep reading without stopping for any breaks.
The Characters were well thought out and the story flowed. What I liked the most was the way you switch from the view of the killer to the police. You will find lots of twist and turns. I have now a new Favourite author that I am going to make sure I read the rest of his books.
I am very happy to give it the five stars that I have given this great book.
