About this audiobook
The desire to kill is becoming contagious in this riveting novel of conceivable mad science by the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Naturalist.
Computational biologist and serial-killer hunter Dr. Theo Cray receives an off-the-record request from the FBI to investigate an inexplicable double homicide. It happened at the excavation site where a murderer had buried his victims’ remains. In custody is a forensic technician in shock, with no history of aggression. He doesn’t remember a thing. His colleagues don’t even recognize the man they thought they knew. But an MRI reveals something peculiar. And abnormal.
What on earth made him commit murder?
After discovering that a mysterious man has been stalking crime scenes and stealing forensic data, Cray has a radical and terrifying theory. Now he must race against time to find a darker version of himself: a scientist with an obsession in pathological behavior who uses his genius not to catch serial killers—but to create them.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow, hunting serial killers takes a lot of time. I have to listen while I brush my cats, while I eat, sometimes while I visit the porcelain god. But I tell myself it’s for a good cause. Of course, I’m off to hunt the next one in the series. Sleep, it can wait..
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another wonderful read. Dr. Theo Cray is quite the computational biologist and serial-killer hunter. The writing is excellent and the story line is really, really scary because it could so easily be true.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Theo Cray returns in the 3rd installment of this series and in this one the hunter becomes the hunter as Cray searches for a serial killer who uses a virus as his/her weapon of choice. I enjoy Andrew Mayne's books and his writing style is very engaging. He creates wonderful characters with enough flaws to make them real and in the case of Cray just the right mix of ego and self-doubt. Having said that, however, I have to say that this book wasn't as good in my mind as the first two in the series. Don't get me wrong, it is very readable with a good plot and the usual excellent characters walking the pages, but it just wasn't as gripping for me as one and two. Still, it was well written and worth the read if you're into these kinds of mysteries. I will definitely pick up the fourth, which is, as this point, the last. It is a great series and a really excellent story line.
