Officer Lucas Stonecoat and police psychiatrist Meredyth Sanger face a new and deadly predator on the gritty streets of Houston, a criminal whose brilliant but vicious acts earn him the name of "The Snatcher"
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Hazy characterization and cryptic allusions to an earlier adventure (Cutting Edge) eventually build up to a taut game of psychic cat-and-mouse in Walker's latest. "The Snatcher" takes impoverished black boys from the streets of Houston and tortures them, though his attention span usually lasts about a week before he mercifully kills his victims. Lucas Stonecoat, a city detective assigned to unsolved cases, is currently investigating a hooker's death at the behest of her son, who claims to be a contract killer. He is assisted by psychic detective Kim Desinor (on loan from the FBI), who can enter a victim's mind, feel his or her torture, even develop sympathetic wounds?all to help unearth clues about the killer's identity. The book starts slowly and then explodes as Lucas, a driven man with chemical demons, struggles to keep a firm grasp on reality. Once Walker gets Lucas and Kim in tandem the chase is spellbinding.
