NYPD sketch artist Nate Rodriguez possesses a remarkable gift. From the smallest cluesβan off-hand comment, a brief flash of fear in a victim's eyesβhe is able to create an uncanny likeness of the assailant. Now Detective Terri Russo needs his help to solve a particularly shocking series of murders, perpetrated by a psychopath who enjoys drawing pictures of his crimes before committing them. Nate is being asked to enter the dark, twisted mind of a monsterβto re-create a face that no one has lived to identify. But as a portrait slowly begins taking shape in Nate's mind and on the page, an electrifying game of cat and mouse reaches an unexpected new levelβas a brilliant killer uses his own unique talents to turn the investigation in a terrifying new direction...
A breathtakingly original novel of suspense, Jonathan Santlofer's Anatomy of Fear mixes prose and pictures to create a story that burns its way into the brain and brilliantly revitalizes the crime fiction genre.
