The Taxidermy Killer: An absolutely addictive serial killer thriller that'll leave you breathless
The FBI hired Augustine Carver because he was willing to cross lines other agents won't.
They just didn't expect him to cross them so far.
Now he leads a team of failed agents nobody else wanted—seeking their redemption handling cases nobody else will touch.
When ritualistic murders start surfacing—crimes steeped in religious symbolism and theological design—Carver knows there's only one man who can decode them.
The same man who killed his daughter. The same man whose eyes Carver took in return.
Father Hermann Zimmer sits in a psychiatric ward, blinded and waiting. His "congregation" is still out there. Still killing. Still following the dark gospel he preached from revival tents across America.
To stop them, Carver must keep going back to the monster who made him one.
For readers of Thomas Harris, Val McDermid, Patricia Cornwell, Tess Gerrittsen, and anyone who thought The Silence of the Lambs needed more religion and less redemption.
