Classic Carter
Just when you thought Chris Carter couldn’t come up with a new and even more vicious killer, he brings us ‘I am Death’!
This thriller picks up where we left Robert Hunter in the previous book, ‘An Evil Mind’, and he just arrives back at his office after catching a manipulative killer. Garcia had doubts about coming back to work after his wife was threatened in ‘One by One’ but he can’t leave the job or Robert so he’s back in the game.
And just when they are back a new body turns up, near the Los Angeles International Airport, spread out in a five-point star. She was abducted seven days before and during her disappearance she was tortured. The killer sends letters to the mayor and to Robert, signed ‘I am Death’!
It’s up to Robert and the LAPD’s Special Section, Ultra Violent Unit, to find a killer that toys with his victims and the detectives. And to find and decipher the clues to who he really is.
While the search for the killer, who’s leaving more bodies for them to collect, is going on a boy is abducted and mistreated by his kidnapper. The boy who is called Squirm by the man endures the most vicious tasks and is witness of some of the killer’s killings. Will he be able to escape or be freed in time?
With ‘I am Death’ Chris Carter takes us in the mind of the killer and lets us ask the question whether being a murderer is nature or nurture. Are they born a killer or do they grow up to be one due to life experiences.
This is a classic thrilling fast paced Chris Carter’s Robert Hunter novel where the stakes are high, for either victim, killer, abductee ànd Robert himself! Will he be able to stop him before the next victim is found?
