Book Description

December 17, 2002 1403391823 978-1403391827
Alvin Simpleman was so bland he was nearly invisible. He wanted it that way. It allowed him to stalk his young female victims before kidnapping and murdering them. He had made a life’s study of his prey. He was now able to choose them from the crowded malls and follow them to their homes where he took them at will and introduced them to a fate too horrible to contemplate. The only evidence of his crimes were the small business cards received by their loved ones with a macabre announcement of the fate of the victim.

Riverside police detectives, Jon Moreland and Earl Smith had plenty of work of their own trying to keep the warring factions of the Riverside Crips and the Los Diablo’s Locos from each other’s throats. The introduction of Alvin and his evil to the citizens of Riverside was not something they needed to add to their busy lives.

A fast paced novel of crime and punishment. Not for the squeamish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't Put It Down, July 1, 2003
This review is from: The Butterfly Man (Hardcover)
Once I started the Butterfly Man, it held my attention completely. The characters are developed well and the story is fascinating. Necessarily, in a book about hunting a serial killer, some parts are not for the squeamish as the author is very good at detail.

If you enjoy a book that gives insight to police work and their hunt for the evils that walk among us; this one is for you. The book was perfect for a couple of relaxing days while camping.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fly to The Butterfly Man, June 24, 2003

Bill Eden (SAN DIEGO, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Butterfly Man (Hardcover)
One of my all-time favorite police story books, makes you keep turning the pages as it is hard to put down. As an old time Joe Wambaugh fan, I find this book both more suspenseful with the right amount of humor. A definate "must buy".

5.0 out of 5 stars Suspense and chilling detail . . ., August 2, 2003
By 
This review is from: The Butterfly Man (Paperback)
Butterfly Man is a riveting story that draws you into the fast-moving account of the life and thoughts of a serial killer as he practices and perfects his private ritual of torment. When a potential hero is introduced - the man who could bring to an end the torture and death - you find yourself devouring the story from the edge of your seat as you anticipate the best result and fear the worst.
