Product Description
This is the story of a serial killer and the homicide detective tasked to track him down, told by someone who knows police work and how it affects the psyche over time. The hunter and the hunted, each in his own way, have descended into darkness, which is why I chose the painting for the “cover” artwork for this dark tale - it could be the face of the killer of the cop. In actuality, it is a self-portrait I painted when I was in the police academy some twenty-five years ago.
