In 1989, tragedy hit a local grocery store. A bloodbath that became known as the Walnut Lake Massacre. Two suspects were discovered at the scene, reported to have killed each other shortly after by the arriving officers. The news hit the town hard. 1990. A series of gruesome murders has plagued the city. The killer's victims share a similar employment in the grocery business. As the bodies pile up in bloody stacks, the police are baffled. The city's population is frightened. Carmody and Riker, homicide detectives, are running into dead ends. Charles Bowen, a Vietnam veteran, will go to any measure to exterminate the mysterious killer known as the Night Intruder.
Intruder is a great film, and continuing the story with the maniac grocery manager is a great ideal. Jim is able to get away and isn't even consider a suspect after the massacre at the store since others were considered the killers. He disappears but he never really leaves he starts going after workers in other stores. The media dubs him the night intruder. The cops are baffled but are working hard to get him but can they?
Highly recommended for fans of the film Intruder. A great continuation of the classic film with a fantastic ending in a most unsettling setting.
The night intruder continues the carnage that took place in the 1989 film Intruder. Psychopathic grocery store manager takes revenge on all the convenience stores in the area leaving a bloodbath in his path. The books flops between Jim Roberts (the night intruder) and detectives Carmody and Ryker.
The premise is pretty good taking place almost directly after the move ends.It very much seemed like this was another act to the movie. The plot itself was a bit poor and shallow. A lot of blood and gore with not a lot of substance overall. The ending was not a happy one at all.
Unless you are a fan of the 1989 movie I probably wouldn’t read the book. There is a lot of the plot left on screen rather than built into the book. For a novella it’s alright if you’re not expecting much.
In 1989, there was a movie called the Intruder. The owner of the store went on a killing spree after finding out his store was going bankrupt and was shutting down. This book is about a serial killer, killing hundreds over a year timespan. This book was just as good as the movie even though the synopsis was slightly different.
