For 17 years, the FBI have been hunting a killer—a different kind of killer, with victims that are the sickos the law couldn’t touch. Who is Mr. Candid? Is he a madman or a savior? Born into a life of East-Coast privilege, Charlie Kane was a child prodigy. The gentle, handsome boy went on to Harvard, where he found the love of his life and his place in the world. Until one Thanksgiving 17 years ago, when Charlie’s world was torn apart, and the entire Kane family all but vanished.

Book of Life,
By James Hyman (israel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mister Candid (Mass Market Paperback)
hardy's book "altered land" was one of the books that has changed my life.the humanity in this book is so real, so rough as life. i live in israel and dealing with consequenses of bombings everyday. and as a person who lives in such a reality i could only read this book and agree to every written word. the characters' life are described in a way you'll feel as you are part of them too. i could go on for ages, but tp sum up, this one of the only books that will make you more human after you've read it. just read it!

Fabulous,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mister Candid (Paperback)
This is the 2nd book I have read by Jules Hardy. Her debut novel Altered Land was the best book I read in 2002 and Mister Candid is my favourite novel for 2003. I have lent this to both my male and female friends and everyone thinks it is terrific.Do yourself a favour a buy a copy.
