The Taxidermy Killer (Carver & Sandling, #1)

Could you ask your daughter's murderer for help to stop a new serial killer?

A family of four is found murdered in their Georgia home. Then another in South Carolina. Then another. Each killing follows the same disturbing pattern—a pattern that only one man recognizes. And he prays that he's wrong.

Former FBI profiler Augustine Carver leads a team of failed agents nobody else wanted, handling cases nobody else will touch. But this case is different. Because the only person who can decode these killings is the same man who destroyed Carver's life.

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 across the American South.

To stop the killer, Carver must do the one thing he swore he'd never do—go back to the monster whose eyes he took and ask for his help.

"Father Zimmer is my new favorite Dr. Lecter—he doesn't take livers, he takes souls." ★★★★★
"A master of the psychological narrative." ★★★★★

Dark, atmospheric crime fiction about the things people do in God's name—and the people who have to live with stopping them.

For fans of Kay Scarpetta, Tony Hill & Carol Jordan, and anyone who thought The Silence of the Lambs needed more religion and less redemption.
