The thief of all light - 1

This police thriller “launches a stunning series with two of the most original heroes ever—as well as a killer who sets a new standard for lethal danger” (Lisa Scottoline, New York Times–bestselling author of Someone Knows).

Nothing fascinates rookie cop Carrie Santero more than serial killers. Now she’s hunting down the sickest, most twisted psychopath she’s ever faced—an “omnikiller.” Unpredictable. Unrelenting. A death machine beyond all evil.

As the body count rises, Carrie enlists the help of Jacob Rein, a brilliant, embittered former detective who has gone to the darkest corners of the killing mind. What he knows—what he can never unknow—could lead Carrie to the point of no return. The place she can no longer avoid. The place that has never stopped calling to her . . .
