Publisher's Summary

It begins with a letter... The letter contains a request - think of a number, any number - and a sealed envelope. Inside the envelope is that number... When Dave Gurney, retired NYPD homicide detective, is contacted by an old college acquaintance about some startling letters he’s been receiving, it is at first little more than a diverting but sinister puzzle. Until the acquaintance is brutally killed.

Suddenly Gurney finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation that makes no sense. The killer seems to have known his victim intimately. How else was he able to predict his victim’s thoughts, even his actions? How did he know his darkest secrets? The killer is smart and he is playing with the police...

Very good

Keeps you engaged throughout, dramatic details add to the mood. Brilliant narrator although female intonations are a bit funny. Jeff Harding’s voice and manner is as if from end of century American police movies - very suitable to this type of books, I find it; the timbre is very pleasant too. I will seek more books by the same author and narrator.
