About this listen

As Boston's most lethal serial killer jeopardizes the city's anniversary celebration, CSI Detective Stanford Carter desperately fights for forensic clues to nail the perp. But the "Plunger", after stabbing his victims through the heart, leaves only tarot cards as evidence. The mayor, demanding an arrest, is also keeping a secret.

Soon, something even more dangerous threatens the city. Carter must find out what it is before it steals his sanity and the life of the woman he loves.

I enjoyed listening to Ken Parelman, he was perfect for this book.

This is book we find Stanford Carter is back trying to find out who is 'The Plunger' who is terrorizing Boston. The Plunger is a serial killer who's cryptic and gruesome clues will keep you guessing. I was kept on my toes from the start.

I started on this book and went straight onto the next one. The title confused me but definitely listen to it in order. The crime - the plunger worked, but nothing is straight forward. I love how the lead is not a normal detective in that he is questioning the zen etc.
The narration worked for me after I got used to it.

Great prequel
