El Asesino de la Autopista ha dejado ya doce cadáveres en doce estados diferentes, y el FBI se ha dado cuenta de que sólo le queda un recurso para echarle el guante: Frank Clevenger, un psiquiatra forense famoso por haber resuelto lo que los periódicos consideraron el crimen de la década. Sin embargo, todos se darán cuenta muy pronto de que no están ante un asesino en serie más. Se trata, en realidad, de un brillante psiquiatra, un hombre tan dotado para matar como para introducirse en las mentes ajenas. Y nadie espera su siguiente paso. Cuando el Asesino de la Autopista escribe a un periódico nacional exigiéndole a Clevenger que le cure sus instintos homicidas por medio de un intercambio de cartas abiertas que se publicarán en la prensa, lo que era una investigación complicada se convierte en una terapia demencial. ¿Logrará Clevenger exorcizar sus demonios antes de que se cobre más víctimas?… (altro)

I've heard about this author for a while now and have actually had this book on my shelf for several years. I finally pulled it down to read. Generally, when I'm not captivated by a book, I just put it down and move on. This one was tricky. I was not captivated. I didn't really like the main character.

If you take all the things I don't care for in a character, roll them into a into a ball, and wrap it up with an attitude towards life that I equally don't care for........this novel would pop out. You can skip sections at a time and miss nothing. .....this is just plain crappy writing, and for me, worthless. I am really hoping this is not the same attitude of all his novels, because I have looked forward to reading this author, from friend suggestions and reviews on here. For me, it is hard to take a sex and drug addict seriously...esp. one borrowing money from his mother to buy enough drugs to make it to the next stripper bar....if sex, porn and drugs are your thing, this is for you. But it's not written well or engaging.... just blunt and boring.… (altro)
