He strings women up by their ankles, guts them, and leaves them to bleed to death... New York Police Commissioner Harley Renz knows there’s only one way to stop the gruesome killing spree of the madman known as “The Slicer.” He calls on veteran homicide detective Frank Quinn and his hard-hitting team, detectives Pearl Kasner and Larry Fedderman, to investigate the twisted, bloody slayings.

At the same time, another murderer terrorizes New Yorkers with his brutal lust for violent death. In night clubs, parking lots and convenience stores, men are being shot with .25 caliber guns and left to die, with their wallets and valuables intact. The assailant completes his carnage by taking a grim memento from each victim. Could one killer, perhaps with multiple personalities, be responsible for all the murders?

As the detectives uncover clues that point to an elaborate, secret club whose members gamble everything, even their lives, to kill the most dangerous prey of all --- human-flesh --- Quinn must decide whether to become a player in the deadliest game...or let the city remain at the killers’ mercy. New York Times bestselling author John Lutz masterfully keeps the pressure pounding through savage twists and turns that are sure to captivate thriller fans.
