Product Description
Stan Green is a New York City Homicide Detective who has seen better days. As his family life threatens to disintegrate and his work partner disappears, he is assigned to the most shocking case of his career–a strange and remarkably violent murder. Stan must look into the crime alone. He finds just one witness, a neurologically disabled recluse who sees through the souls of others as demonic hallucinations. As more murders occur, and he drifts further from his family and friends, Stan's suspicion and rage escalate. Soon he realizes that the deaths fall into the pattern of a serial killer--and starts to believe that his witness is not at all insane, but terrifyingly perceptive . . .
"Few writers are Zeltserman's equal in setting up the chessboard with obsessive perps and depressive cops . . . Zeltserman's lean but muscular style, so evident in [A Killer's Essence] and The Caretaker of Lorne Field, is just as sharply honed here. His ability to juggle Green's story and Lynch's, develop a riveting murder mystery, and even mix in some Brighton Beach ex-KGB sleazeballs, all in less than 250 pages, is a pretty neat page-turning trick . . . a memorable winner." -- The Boston Globe
"This eerie thriller deftly blurs the lines between madness and the perception of reality." -- New Jersey Star-Ledger
"Truly chilling . . . Riveting narrative." --Mystery Scene Magazine
"A doozy of a doom-laden crime story." --The Washington Post on Pariah, Best Books of 2009
