An FBI thriller in which a profiler races a Jack the Ripper copycat working through his own murderous counting rhyme. Serial-killer suspense with taunting messages, escalating kills and a city holding its breath.
Closer And Closer, She Comes. Faster And Faster, He Kills.
The Ripper kills and kills again, leaving bodies where they fall. He cuts and cuts again, and he won't be content until he's killed them all.
The weight of the case rests on Special Agent Meredeth Connelly's shoulders. Madness has driven the Ripper into a frenzy. He moves to the rhythm of the knife, and each night he takes another life. He leaves her messages. She has heard them all before.
Eight little whores with no chance of Heaven. Seven little whores, beggin' for a shilling. Six little whores, glad to be alive. Two little whores, shivering with fright.
Someone is recreating Jack the Ripper's crimes, and the counting rhyme only runs one way.
Rhythm of the Knife is a Meredeth Connelly Mind Hunt Thriller, a serial-killer FBI procedural, for readers who love Ripper lore, profiler heroines, killer's-eye narration and taunting clues. Perfect for fans of Tess Gerritsen, Karin Slaughter and John Sandford.
