Inhaltsangabe
Franklin has more than one secret—if possible, the second more hideous than the first. As a serial killer who murders young prostitutes in particularly gruesome ways, Franklin also works with a friend, who helps covers his tracks. The only compensation required from his friend is watching the killings . . . and taking a few pictures that he shares with a couple of his friends. In turn, those friends share their pictures and stories of other murders, creating a horrific network of murder used as entertainment. Detective Carl Peterson’s first mistake in being assigned to the Kankakee serial killer case is thinking that he’s simply looking for a serial killer . . . acting alone. When Carl seeks help from his computer statistician girlfriend, Laurie, she discovers that various murders in four different states have similarities that can’t be ignored. Carl teams up with FBI profiler Bob Rathburn, and together they track down the killer. But then, the murders continue . . . And the more Carl discovers, the more the unthinkable connections become a staggering reality.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Rare is it that any author will have one of his books described as the definitive work on a particular subject, but such a distinction has been bestowed by critics on no less than four books written by James Riordan. The New York Times Bestseller Break on Through, Riordan's biography of Doors lead singer Jim Morrison, has not only been called "the most objective, thorough and professional Morrison biography" by the Times Book Review but also named as one of the Ten All Time Best Rock Biographies by Amazon.com. Riordan's The Platinum Rainbow (written with Bob Monaco) was called "One of the best how-to books ever written" by the Los Angeles Daily News and "The ultimate career book on the music industry" by Recording, Engineer & Producer. Critics described Riordan's The Bishop of Rwanda as "one of the most important books you'll ever read." and The Coming of the Walrus, Riordan's novel about the 60s as "the definitive book on the era" and "a hilarious tale of a harrowing search for the greatest truth of all". With the release of A Well Thought Out Scream and Madman in the Gate, Riordan pushed the boundaries again with poetry/song lyric books that contain hundreds of stunning, beautiful and poignant images from artists and photographers from all over the world. In the summer of 2013 a new edition of The Coming of the Walrus was released to rave reviews followed by The Kill Switch. He is the author of 33 books.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. A heart-pounding glimpse into the world of forensic psychiatry, Kill Switch marks the powerful fiction debut of Neal Baer and Jonathan Greene--former executive producers of television's acclaimed Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Filled with breakneck suspense, vivid characters, and riveting detail, it is a mind-bending thriller you'll never forget. Meet Claire Waters, a young, dedicated forensic psychiatrist with unnervingly personal insights into the criminal mind. Haunted by a disturbing childhood incident--and driven by her demons--Claire has always been drawn to those rare untreatable patients who seem to have no conscience or fear. She has a natural ability to put people at ease, to help them face their darkest secrets. But one shocking case could make or break her career--and it's waiting for her in the psychiatric wing of New York City's Rikers Island. His name is Quimby. A deranged inmate whose boyish good looks hide a sordid history of dysfunction and abuse, Quimby triggers something in Claire she'd rather not face. As she tries to unlock Quimby's past, she unwittingly reveals her own painful secrets--leaving herself dangerously vulnerable. For Claire, the patient's obsessions are just the beginning. When the case propels her into the mind of another killer--a homicidal maniac who's watching her every move--it could only end in madness, or murder, or both. Brilliantly constructed and breathtakingly suspenseful, Kill Switch is a masterful combination of murder, mystery, and modern forensics that will keep you turning the pages to the final shocking conclusion.
