When Caleb Wardell the infamous 'Chicago Sniper ' escapes from death row two weeks before his execution the FBI calls on the services of Carter Blake a man with certain specialized talents whose skills lie in finding those who don't want to be found. A man to whom Wardell is no stranger. Along with Elaine Banner an ambitious special agent juggling life as a single mother with her increasingly high-flying career Blake must track Wardell down as he cuts a swathe across America apparently killing at random. But Blake and Banner soon find themselves sidelined from the case. And as they try desperately to second-guess a man who kills purely for the thrill of it they uncover a hornets' nest of lies and corruption. Now Blake must break the rules and go head-to-head with the FBI if he is to stop Wardell and expose a deadly conspiracy that will rock the country. Slick fast-paced and assured The Killing Season is the first novel in the gripping new Carter Blake series.
