Ilustration In Favor Of Books State of Mind
A professor of abnormal psychology, Jeffrey Clayton struggles with a dark past. Twenty-five years before, Jeffrey and his mother and sister fled his tyrannical father - a man who was later suspected in the heinous murder of a young student. Though the father was never charged, he committed suicide. Or so it seemed. Since then Jeffrey's mother and his sister, Susan, have concealed themselves in the remote tangled swamps of the Upper Keys, where Susan creates word games for Miami Magazine. But someone has sent her a cryptic note. Once deciphered, it carries a terrifying message: I have found you. At the same time, a serial killer has invaded a community whose citizens seek a haven of old-fashioned values. And one new-fashioned guarantee: unconditional safety. But no one is safe from this intruder - who murders young girls in unspeakable ways. Is Jeffrey Clayton's father the source of this latest killing spree? The authorities think so - and they present Jeffrey with an ultimatum: Find the butcher responsible for the newborn spate of carnage. Find your father.Itemize Books As State of Mind

Granted, it would have been hard to predict how dependent we would be on our phones, but half of Europe was constantly carrying their Nokia mobiles already at that time.
Deftly drawn, the plot is riveting, the pace is unrelenting, the dialogue scalpel sharp. The most intricately plotted and fully characterized novel yet in Katzenbach's admirable series

This was a great psychological thriller. When Jeffrey Clayton, a professor of abnormal psychology at a university, is hired by the government to find a killer, his past is opened up. Basically the story is about a killer who for many years has been killing young woman and leaves no clues.

At the time, his mother knowing her husband was evil, escaped with her son and daughter and started a
