What drives a man to the sadism needed to remove the hearts from living people? "Hearts" is a mystery following a serial killer who has earned quite the infamous name for himself doing just that. Two detectives, Callow and Smith, are left on a trail to track down this killer who has escaped their grasps and has continued with his grisly method of slaughter. "Hearts" is a gripping mystery that will start readers reading and keep them going until the last page.

This was a great, quick read that was kind of scary. It centered upon a serial killer, Larry Mules who ripped the hearts out of females. The killer escapes from prison and sets out to haunt and torment the lead Homicide Investigator, Detective Callow. The detective's own wife died at the hands of Mules and Callow is left with his thirteen year old daughter to raise himself and is now struggling with his belief in God. After going thru that ordeal, he is very angry with God. Callow has a partner, Dean Smith who follows him in the pursuit of Mules. I really liked the biblical quotes in this book and really liked the fact that the author served in the Army. This book is very well written and very descriptive. I also like the fact that the setting is in New Orleans and the author himself is from there as well. I highly recommend this book.
