The book details the acts of a demented serial killer named
“The Hacker.”
Ian Rivers is a cop with psychic abilities. He can see through the eyes of killers. This ability enables him to have an enviable
record of success in the apprehension of the worst criminals.
Karl, Ian’s partner, is pulled into the maelstrom that
surrounds Ian’s interaction with the notorious “Hacker”. Karl demonstrates admirable loyalty to his
good friend and partner, Ian.
Ian’s psychic episodes leave him emotionally vulnerable and
drained. The toll of chasing killers
mounts up. Ian’s mental state is a
large part of the book’s impact.
Mr. Emerick portrays his characters vividly. The settings could be fleshed out a bit
more. For me, the erratic nature of the
protagonist made it difficult for me to buy into the story line.
In some ways delving into the mind of the “Hacker” is akin
to scuba diving in a septic tank, murky, merciless and vile. This is most definitely a psycho thriller.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
