I had never heard of Barry Hoffman when a friend of mine lent me Judas Eyes, but now I will definitely read his other books. His characters were so interesting -- the good guys had a bit of bad in them, and the bad guys had a bit of good in them. It was one of those "hard to put down" books, I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. It was a very unique story, and I kept thinking about it for a few days after I finished it.

The trail of dead males seems to run up and down the eastern seaboard from as far south as Georgia and as up north as Pennsylvania. The victims are butchered in some sort of sadistic sexual rape.

Shara Farris (see HUNGRY EYES) is no longer a vigilant seeking justice by hunting for prey. Instead she is now a bounty hunter seeking justice by legally hunting for prey. She joins forces with police detective Lamar Briggs, an individual who she helped obtain an acquittal on a murder of a rapist charge. They seek out the serial "John" killer. Shara can read the mind of the female murderess Mica Swann. By doing so, she realizes that Mica is just like her except her beast from within is freed through the killings.

The latest Barry Hoffman "eyes" tale, JUDAS EYES, is an exciting paranormal-psychological mystery investigative tale that will provide much entertainment to those readers who enjoy a thrill a page. The story line is fast-paced and the female characters are intelligent and have their act together even the killing machine Mica. On the other hand, with the exception of Lamar, the males (mostly victims) appear to think with the wrong head, which hurts the flow of strong tale that screams at the easy acceptance of "violence is as American as apple pie" mentality.

Not nearly as good as his other books in this series. I would also like to state that Leisure Books decision to use
microscopic print did not help in my enjoyment of this book.
