Pursuit by Thomas Perry
A private investigator becomes embroiled in a gruesome murder investigation, tracking a killer who will do anything to avoid capture--a "bona fide nail-biter" (The New York Times) from the award-winning author of The Butcher's Boy."Pursuit is relentless, filled with twists and turns, that rare page-turner that keeps one reading late into the night to finish."--The Boston Globe
WINNER OF THE GUMSHOE AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL
Thirteen bodies are found in a Louisville restaurant. When the police can find no suspect or motive, a victim's family seeks the services of the enigmatic and solitary specialist Roy Prescott, known for his ability to find people who don't want to be found. Working outside the law and willing to do what the police can't, Prescott hunts the killer, an elusive adversary who is as smart, as methodical, as deadly as he is. The only way to conduct this pursuit is to goad the killer into believing that he must kill Roy Prescott. It is a contest fought from one end of the country to the other, and both men understand that when it's over, only one of them will be alive.
