The dark place : a Karl Kane novel
(Book)

Young homeless women and drug addicts are being abducted before being brutally mutilated and murdered, and a city is held in a grip of unspeakable terror. The cops are unable--or unwilling--to apprehend the elusive serial killer, and corrupt politicians turn a seemingly blind and almost approving eye to the catalog of murders. The perpetrator is wealthy, cunning, and influential. More importantly, he has never once made a mistake in his grisly calling--until now. By abducting Katie, the young daughter of legendary private investigator Karl Kane, the killer has just made his first mistake, which could well turn out to be his last.
