20 Great Thrillers, June 2012

NOCTURNAL begins as a police procedural and then slowly turns into a horror novel with touches of science-fiction and alternative history thrown in. Bryan Clauser is a maverick San Francisco homicide detective who is investigating a series of gruesome murders that his superiors want him to ignore. The problem: his dreams are linked to the killings, and it almost seems as if he was on the scene when the murders were committed.. This one is wild’s night ride; several nights, actually. Read this one with Google Street View handy to check the scenes from the book and thus increase your enjoyment of this story even more.
