Forty year old Preston Peterson, pudgy, myopic and socially inept, knows the terror of being bullied. From his earliest childhood memory, he has faced ridicule, name calling, harassment and beatings. Fear ruled his life, possessed him, controlled his every encounter with others. Now, he has killed. Now, rage rules his life. Digging out his despised High School year book, Preston uses computer aged photographs to find and kill look-alikes of his persecutors. The time has come for those who bullied him to pay the ultimate price for their torture. Preston is getting even and everyone is a target. But with a panicked city and Lieutenant Gregg Mann's task force looking for him, Preston should have remembered the Chinese proverb, "Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig TWO GRAVES."… (more)

I am having a really hard time finishing this book. I am not able to keep up with what's going on since the story goes back and forth. I may try to come back to the book and finish it another time. (

I enjoyed the story. A unique twist on the serial killer along with some great characters that I would love to read about again. Only one little itch kept me from giving this 5 stars. It seems that Kesle is a city where people don't use contractions. The dialogue comes across as stilted when people do not use contractions in their speech. (

A fatal accident during a teen's attempted harassment of a man who has lived a life of being bullied becomes the final stressor in triggering a delusional vengeful serial killing spree, setting off a media-influenced panic in Kelse City and upending the mayor's re-election campaign. Lieutenant Gregg Mann finds his life complicated as he leads the task force, while secretly trying to find the mob-connected mole in the upper levels of the police force, a complication that increases dramatically as the two cases unexpectedly crosses paths. The crimes are very graphic, perhaps best enjoyed by fans of "Criminal Minds," but the suspenseful pacing is well maintained in this gritty police procedural. (

This was not a book for me. Don't get me wrong I ike serial killer stories but this one is different. It has 2 stories and I felt it was a bit of an overkill. I would love to read about the serial killer without the Mafia drama. I was also disappointed by the ending. Suddenly things became too easy. (

The author does a great job of building the novel and the suspense in the book. I really like his style of writing and will be checking out other books by him for sure. Now that being said I couldn't get into this book because of the way he described the killer reminded me of my husband and so for me I just couldn't get into the book because of the fact he reminded me of my husband.

I would think most people would love this book because he is a great writer and does develop his characters well. I do recommend this book to anyone who likes thrillers. (
